10 Best Celtic Folklore Horror Movies

Celtic folklore has been reinterpreted in creatively amusing ways in a number of great Irish horror movies. Dating back to the archaic times in Ireland, Celtic storytelling traditions have centered on various forms of fairies and monsters. The most well-known example is perhaps the leprechaun, the fairy in the form of a short, old man who is often depicted in a green wardrobe and with a pot of gold. But Irish legends also boast other creatures immortalized by Western horror such as witches and vampires.
