| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) | comment |
Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror anthology podcast telling stories from an alternate Appalachia never meant to be inhabited by humankind.The show bills its setting as "an upside-down Appalachia": the stories it tells are based on real events in Appalachian history, and the locations where they take place based on real places in the region, but the names and details are changed, and events in the stories don't fit on a real-world timeline. The main difference of this world from our own is that the people who settled in the region were called there by Things imprisoned under the land, who reached out to miners and industrialists in hopes that they would be set free... and set free they were, and now Appalachia is filled with all manner of supernatural happenings straight out of folklore.The show can be found on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Soundcloud, and Stitcher. Part of the Rusty Quill Network as of 2021. | |

Gaia's Lament | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_13a6b7ef | comment |
Gaia's Lament: The second interlude, "Let There Be Green", is an extended one where a sleepwalking Sarah Avery, still asleep from the end of "The Schoolhouse", transcribes a mysterious poem from her dreams into a composition book left in the schoolhouse by someone named Daniel Calloway. It talks about how mankind has tainted Appalachia with their industry, and wishes for it to once again be "whole, green, and blessedly empty". | |

Title Drop | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: A rather terrifying one in the prologue, as the narrator rants about how the rest of the world only sees Appalachia's destitution and failure and knows not why, while the residents know how grim things truly are in their home... | |

Graceful Loser: Horned-Head is not happy about spending 140 years bound to a rotting human corpse, but still mentions upon his resurrection in 1935 that he has no plans to take revenge upon the Daughter Dooley for defeating him, stating that "she's earned it." | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Subverted. Pinky Avery is described as a kind man before his death and resurrection, but his moment of Fighting from the Inside has him begging Sarah to let him take her so that the thing controlling him will let him go. According to Word of God, Pinky was stalling in order to give his daughter time to run away. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Skint Tom, Miss Lavinia, and the Unnamed Woman introduced in the penultimate episode of season 2 are all abominations that gleefully prey on humans and their suffering, but all three are willing to work alongside witches of the Green to seal the Dead Queen back in her grave, with Tom even sacrificing himself so Marcy's work isn't interrupted. | |

Black Speech: When Horned Head tells the Dooley daughter its true name, the word is described as feeling more like a punch than actual language, actually knocking her back. Its normal speech, on the other hand, is a more mundane case of Evil Sounds Deep. | |

Public Domain Character | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_3fe6a857 | comment |
Public Domain Character: Plenty, as the series is based on the folklore and legends of Appalachia. Skint Tom is based on the Tennessee bogeyman Skinned Tom, at the heart of his own urban legend. As it turns out, J.T. Fields is Jack. Jack, the folk-hero of the Jack tales. While the show mentions his most famous British tales, from the Jack and the Beanstalk fairytale to the Jack jumped over the candlestick nursery rhyme, the "Jack tales" are an integral part of Appalachian folklore, carrying on from the English tradition. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Horned Head in "The Witch Queen" never raises its voice above a soft whisper, and remains perfectly polite even while describing how it and its kind will wait however long they need to for the Dooley daughter and every other human being in Appalachia to die off, one way or another. Skint Tom may be a Serial Killer who flays his victims skins from their bodies to wear as a suit, but he's still very polite and proper when meeting Marcy, Deelie, and Marigold. He even flirts with his fellow abomination, Miss Lavinia. | |

Beary Friendly: Downplayed: a bear (or whatever it is in the shape of a bear) saves Sarah Avery from her possessed great-uncle, but it doesn't stick around much longer, only offering Sarah a "hrmph" before (literally) disappearing into the weeds. The same bear (in a later episode, but earlier in the show's timeline) helps Daughter Dooley/the Witch Queen save Timothy Vanover from freezing to death. She calls him Bartholomew. This is also the name he uses in his human form when recruiting the people and Things needed to re-bind the Dead Queen. | |

Laughably Evil: Skint Tom is a sadist who murders innocents and wears their skin for kicks, as well as a servant of Those Who Sleep Beneath. He also manages to be disarmingly funny. | |

Never Mess with Granny | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_8183248 | comment |
Never Mess with Granny: Old women in Appalachia tend to have a lot more steel in them than can be seen at first glance. Sheila Walker, Glory Ann Boggs, Marigold Underwood and Granny White are just a few examples. | |

Humanoid Abomination | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_851dda8f | comment |
Humanoid Abomination: The Burned Things, resurrected humans killed by a mining explosion. One Burned Thing, Sasha's great-uncle Ed, gets one of his eyes replaced by an ember, and whatever's controlling them can punish them severely for Fighting from the Inside: some force like an invisible hand grinds Pinky Avery into the road, and Ed's consciousness is simply wiped from his body. There's something unsettling and inhuman about Ignatious Combs, or rather, a whole lot of things. Horned Head as Elder Henry, as well as his servants the Grey Ladies. Granny White appears outwardly human but is really a Deep Thing known as the Hungry Mother. The Railroad Man at first seems to be a suave businessman in an impeccable suit, but he quickly demonstrates power and perspective that marks him as inhuman. Whatever Jack of the Woods really is, he's far too old to be a person. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: Mining activities in Appalachia unleashed the Deep Things, who are themselves the servants of the even darker beings that have been imprisoned deep beneath the region for eons. Several appear over the course of the main series and its Patreon-exclusive mini-series. They are, in no particular order, as follows: Horned-Head, described by his peers as a "traveling salesman" for the Things. He takes the form of an enormous black stag with a crown of antlers that glow with a foul amber light, and he seeks to tempt those possessed of supernatural power into self-destructive contracts. Granny White, who takes the form of a blind old albino woman, and who maintains a vast property full of restless spirits. Behind her rose-colored glasses, she conceals a pair of mouths where she would have eyes. She seeks to bind a great many people to her land and take them as sacrifices during grandiose "true harvest" festivals. The Swarm, the eldest of the Deep Things. He takes the form of a mining representative whose skin quivers with the presence of a thousand concealed insects. He is presently in a greatly weakened state, and is affiliated with B&L Mineral Resources. The Sentinel, a half-slumbering and well-concealed Deep Thing who takes the form of a grotesque, rot-eaten tree. It draws its power from the dozens of people the Esau county Ku Klux Klan hang from its great, broken bough. Old Copperhead, whose form is exactly what it sounds like. His peers regard him as an insignificant, pitiful creature, one who typically preys on the foolish and inexperienced. He traffics in arcane secrets of modest significance, luring in disaffected novices with the promise of forbidden knowledge. Old Green Eyes, who takes the form of a black cloud with, you guessed it, green eyes. He is affiliated with the Locke family of B&L, who are known for their piercing green eyes and inhuman longevity. Each of the Deep Things, in turn, are capable of creating their own abominable servants, from Horned-Head's lamprey-like hunters to Granny White's pale, silent envoys. Several Deep Things have demonstrated the ability to whip up a horde of weak, undead abominations in a pinch, as well. | |

Nerves of Steel: Lightly deconstructed with Sarah Avery, who is all but stated to be running purely on adrenaline for much of the episode in which she stars. Invisible monsters are one thing, but the burning, animate corpses of her family are something entirely other, and by the time her great-uncle attacks her, she's lost all strength and simply stands there, not knowing where else to go. When the bear saves her, she just faints. | |

Arc Villain | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_ad9559e6 | comment |
Arc Villain: The Dead Queen is this for Season 2, being the one thread linking the arcs together and the one creature that is so dangerous it causes the forces of Inner Dark and the Green to unite together, being born of a collision between the two forces. Her true identity as Daughter Dooley makes her also a case of Fallen Hero. The Wolf Sisters are this for the trilogy of the same name, wreaking vengeance across Appalachia. The Railroad Man is this for the Walker Sisters arc of Season 2, being seemingly unrelated to the Dead Queen and the Inner Dark overall, but being deferred to by agents of the Inner Dark. The Grey Ladies are this for The Holiest Days of Bone and Shadow, although their master Horned Head serves as a Greater-Scope Villain directing their actions. Polly Barrow, acting as The Dragon to her father E.P. Barrow of Barrow And Locke, serves as this for almost all of Season 3. | |

Came Back Wrong: The 51 non-union miners who died in the Old Number Seven Disaster were resurrected by one of the Things under the earth; Sarah Avery calls them Burned Things. Their bodies are still burnt (and in some cases, still burning), which is slowly destroying them, and they've got an obvious weakness to water, but they're still extremely dangerous. It's also contagious, as Pinky and Ed were turned into them despite not being caught in the blast, and Miss Annie was turned into one when they began attacking the town in earnest. | |

Kill It with Water: The Burned Things, as their name suggests, are quite vulnerable to water. When Sarah begs the forest to "take it back", a massive rainstorm suddenly breaks that wipes them all out. | |

Wild Wilderness | |

Wild Wilderness: Appalachia is depicted as this: sprawling miles of deep dark forests filled with things and places mankind was never meant to find. | |

Broken Masquerade | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_f506d08c | comment |
Broken Masquerade: Heavily implied; in the prologue, the narrator explains that the opioid addiction and alcoholism so endemic to Appalachia are because people there know what's lurking around them. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_f76b8969 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Personification: Several. The Railroad Man is the personification of the railroad, specifically of the predatory, blood-fueled capitalism associated with 19th and 20th-century railroad expansion. Bartholomew's human form is the personification of the Green itself. | |

Special Edition Title | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_fc8bc8e | comment |
Special Edition Title: None of the interludes have an intro song, and, rather than using "I Cannot Escape The Darkness" by Those Poor Bastards as their outro, use "God's Dark Heaven" by the same band. | |

Wise Serpent | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_fd412292 | comment |
Wise Serpent: Old Copperhead is a Deep Thing that takes the form of a huge snake and is renowned for its promises of sharing its vast knowledge of all things (even the future) for a price. Whilst derided by its fellow Deep Things as weak and unimpressive, it is never the less a charming, dangerous, and manipulative predator with it leading many unassuming victims along with its teases of hidden knowledge until they unwittingly walk into its trap. In the special Build Mama A Coffin he expertly seduces the mentally handicapper Daniel Boggs with promises of power, respect, and knowledge the boy desires and comes within a hairs width of devouring Glory Anne Bogs body. | |

Evil, Inc. | |
| Old Gods of Appalachia (Podcast) / int_ff934825 | comment |
Evil, Inc.: Barrow and Locke Mining and Rail Combine has deals in place with several Things, corporate heads and workers that are no longer fully human, and designs on the lands in Appalachia that are sacred to Green practitioners. | |
