The 1970s version might not have Nic Cage, but The Wicker Man (1973) has everything else. Nudity? Check. Singing? Check. Ancient Pagan rituals, haunted candle hands, and all the canned food you could dream of? Check, check, check! What more could you want, really? Well, if you're main character Sergeant Neil Howie, probably to lead a good Christian investigation into the mystery of a missing girl — but on Scotland's fictional Summerisle, that task proves harder than it seems. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we're joining the hunt as we discuss costumes, colonialism and CLEAR references.
