The Wicker Man sees May Day watch parties and Fright Club streams
The Wicker Man (1973) is being shown at May Day watch parties and featured in Fright Club streams centered on its pagan rituals. The film stars Edward Woodward as Police Sergeant Neil Howie, who travels to Summerisle to investigate a missing girl and uncovers a community preparing a sacrificial finale. Recent screenings have focused attention on the movie's multiple cuts, Robin Hardy's direction, and Paul Giovanni's folk soundtrack. Those seasonal viewings matter because The Wicker Man's ritual imagery and ambiguous ending continue to shape how programmers and scholars present and analyze folk-horror.
He spends all this time and energy telling them their souls are damned when he could be working on getting the hell out of there. It's sticks, they're not unbreakable! I'm not saying he would succeed, but he could be trying! #TheWickerMan #FrightClub
Colin Harker15Yeah but he wouldn't be Sgt. Howie if he didn't expend 90% of his energy yelling at them. I love Howie, he's actually one of my all-time favorite horror movie characters, but dude has no self-preservation skills *at all*. Which is why he needed Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz as his partner. #FrightClub
Joe_Ted_Jerome9I'd prolly just be breathing that smoke in real deep and hoping for unconsciousness. #TheWickerMan #FrightClub
CineWolf 🧿👁️4True. They're all on one side #frightclub
Leonardo Decapitator3I would not have been in this situation to begin with after partaking in some that free love they had going around the island. #FrightClub
Cara3I would've been trying to kick my way out the back while those pagan bastards were all singing at the front of the wicker man lol #FrightClub. #TheWickerMan
