I'm giving an online talk on THE WICKER MAN!

Tomorrow! (December 3rd, 2023)

Greetings, friends! I’ve announced this elsewhere on social media but I figured my blog readers would be interested in a talk I’m giving for The Last Tuesday Society tomorrow, December 3rd, at 2 pm EST.

This lecture entitled “The Embers of 50 Years: The Iconic Legacy of The Wicker Man” looks at the influences and enduring impact of the 1973 film which celebrates the 50 year anniversary of its release this month.

This film has had a substantial impact on horror cinema, on the modern pagan movement, and on popular culture. I’ve been writing or speaking about The Wicker Man in various contexts for many years, for academic papers, on blogs (including this one), on podcasts, and it is one of many films featured in my forthcoming book.

I hope you can join in tomorrow. It starts at 2 pm EST, and the talk is about an hour, followed by a Q & A discussion moderated by the wonderful Amy Hale. If you can’t attend at that time, you can purchase a ticket and receive a link to watch later at your convenience. The cost of admission is between 5-10 pounds sterling ($6-12) and you’re supporting The Last Tuesday Society in their ongoing work to provide fascinating and fun events centered on culture, literature, film and art.
