They are known as myths, lore, and folktales. Created to give logic to mankind's darkest fears, these stories laid the foundation for what we now know as the horror genre.
A feature-length anthology film with parts directed by eight of today’s most talented genre filmmakers from around the world, each contributing a short film about a myth from their country, and all stitched together to make one feature film. 'The Field Guide to Evil' is the follow-up from the creators of the cult classic 'ABCs of Death' series.

Loyal butler Jonathan is sent to rescue the failing Blueberry Inn, unaware his blinkered Lord plots to leave it to him and three chaotic staff as a social experiment. When the Lord dies suddenly, Jonathan discovers he's a co-owner of the Inn and has just one month to save it. Battling sabotage from furious heirs, the mismatched team (and a pig!) rally their communities, securing the Inn's future against all odds.
