The Wicker Man (1973) - They Literally Tried to Bury It (Under a Freeway)

We're starting October with one of the team's favorite horror movies. No bees here--just one of Christopher Lee's favorite roles, a movie he believed in so much he literally paid his own way for a press tour to small towns across America, and possibly the weirdest post-production history of all time.

CONTENT WARNING for discussion of animal death, sexual harassment, and misogyny (because we couldn't completely escape talking about the remake)
