About this Episode

The Wicker Man is a classic of folk horror, a foundational story about a man whose traditional ways and authority have no sway in a dangerous and unfamiliar environment. He's tracking down a missing girl, Rowan Morrison, on Summerisle, a Scottish island controlled by a pagan cult. This is a very weird movie, with a centerpiece performance by Christopher Lee as the main villain. It's brightly lit, it's a musical, and it's the horniest possible thing.
