The paper discusses sitation mechanisms and ways of representing children's folklore texts in modern popular culture using the example of the basic horror film of the last decades. Folk lullabies and their stylization are considered as cultural texts containing archaic ideas and mythological models, which, due to the mythologized thinking of modern society, are read by the audience at the collective unconscious level. The mechanisms of representation of these texts are analyzed, the intertextual environment is revealed as a playing field with meanings, connotative levels that are born when a visual and verbal texts meet, and archetypical models hidden in the text are examined.
