Today, May 1, 1973, Police Sergeant Neil Howie finds that he is unable to leave remote Hebridean island Summerisle. The island residents celebrate May Day with pagan rituals (The Wicker Man, 1973)
The skirt from The Wicker Man fin is finished.
To strong colour, but this was the closest cotton broadcloth that I could get. The picnic is on Saturday. I will not be wearing this, but my best friend will

Current project: making this skirt, worn by Ingrid Pitt, as the librarian in the 1973 British cult classic "The Wicker Man".
One of the first examples of the "Folk horror" genre, it has influenced later films, such as "Midsommar", and there was even a horrible remake in 2006.
Anyway, I love this film,band I have already made one outfit from it: Britt Ekland/ Willow Mcgregor 's clothing from the final scenes.
But I want this skirt too.
And on the 3rd of May we have a Wicker Man picnic here in Gothenburg, so I also have a deadline .

I recently translated a book sample, then at the London Book Fair I got to hear the rest of the plot. And it is AMAZING. If you're into creepy twisted folk horror, you're going to want to read this.
The Helpful Translator - Helping you talk their language · Folk horror! - The Helpful TranslatorWith my colleague Ian Giles, I was recently asked to translate a sample of The Muse, the new book by Mats Strandberg. It's the story of Hedda, a struggling writer whose best idea – in fact, her whole life – was stolen by a college friend from whom she was once inseparable. Specifically, it's the

Sgt. Howie could have avoided being sacrificed just by loosening up and having some sex with a hot blonde. Really makes you think. 
YO! #Monsterdon! still thinking about #TheWickerman. can't decide if it is parody or not.
Just appreciating today how those pagans gave that fash copper the total run around while also mocking his belief system

Favorite scenes from this one:
Teacher asks a full classroom what the maypole represents, and gets an enthusiastically correct answer!
Equally matter-of-fact reminder that Jesus was "himself born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost".
Parade of wacky pagan costumes in sneakers.

@Bluedepth hm hm may 1 1973 was a tuesday
so he flew out there on a weekend, then?
he had an official plane so he had to have some kind of permission
so i'm thinking they've got 24 hours tops to wreck that thing _or_ send a missing persons report about _him_
"you haven't seen your police sergeant, have you? his plane's still here but we can't find him"

@FE78MLT A bunch of us get together and watch a movie together, _mostly_ a monster movie, and comment along using the hashtag.

In 2260, Duncan, seeing no foreseeable prospects for himself, agreed to become host to a Vindrizi. He was amazed by the wondrous sights seen by his Vindrizi. Joined, he went with the other hosts and learned that Cole had confronted the group along with Stephen Franklin. Duncan's Vindrizi exited his body to prove to them that its race meant no har

@ranjit @jonny @steggy @Taweret I personally read an implication that this was one of those communities that had held on to a lot more of the old celebrations and rituals of the past, and built on that - I mean, you're not imposing that sort of changeover from the top, you really aren't. But if it's already there (even if thin on the ground) you can certainly encourage it.
