Dar??hug #1: Ang Mananabang ng Sta. Maria

 Man, local folk horror sure hits vastly different compared to all the other (foreign) folk horror out there. But that makes perfect sense; after all, it's always different when you're familiar (ish) with the traditions being presented, when they inhabit, or are very close to, the spaces one actually lives in. Even as a Manile??a and therefore very much an urban child from the imperial center of the country, Molo's tale feels close enough to home because of the familiar setting and plot. The black-and-white art gives this story a nice eerie feel, and the pacing is perfect for letting the horror creep up on you.
