WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence from the start.When we picture human sacrifice in ancient Britain, the iconic, flaming Wicker Man often comes to mind. But how much of this is Roman propaganda, and what does the actual archaeology reveal? Tristan Hughes is joined by archaeologist Dr. Miles Russell to separate popular myth from gruesome reality. From perfectly preserved bog bodies in the north to mysterious grain pit burials down south, who were these victims and why did they die?Presented by Tristan Hughes.

Episode 229: The boys are back together! After a few weeks away, we're catching up, playing Catch That Quotable, reacting to The Wicker Man trailer, and tier-ranking the best Coronas from the Fast & Furious franchise

In this series of topic-focused mini-episodes, Gilbert and Frank share their love of unheralded films, underrated TV shows, underappreciated pop songs and (often) unknown performers, discussing, dissecting and (occasionally) defending their handpicked guilty pleasures and buried treasures.  This week: Roddy McDowall goes to high school! Jack Nicholson takes to the airwaves! And (arguably) the creepiest movie ever made! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Vi rör oss över Atlanten till den nordamerikanska regionen New England och tittar närmare på hur folk horror ter sig i detta nya England, till bredden fyllt av ursprungsbefolkning, häxor och ondskefulla skogar. Johannes reder ut begreppen kring pilgrimer och puritaner och Tomas frågar sig inte varför Young Goodman Browns fru heter Faith i novellen med samma namn från 1835 av Nathaniel Hawthorne. Vi pratar också kort om: Robin Redbreast, Murrain, Stigma, Beasts: Baby, The Wicker Man, Adam Scovells "Folk Horror Chain", Wendigon, In a Violent Nature, ett nytt Jerusalem, Providence, Satan, häxprocesserna i Salem, New York, Washington Irvings "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", Nathaniel Hawthornes "Young Goodman Brown", Shirley Jacksons "The Lottery" och "The Summer People", harvest horror, James Frazers "The Golden Bough", Stephen Kings "Pet Sematary", "the darkness of child´s play", Midsommar. För patrons pratar vi också bland annat om HP Lovecrafts "The Picture in the House", "The Festival" och "The Dunwich Horror", kannibalism, hillbilly horror, rednecksploitation, Margaret A Murrays "The Witch-Cult in Western Europe", Appalacherna, back-to-the-land movement, Walter Graumans "Crowhaven Farm", Rosemary´s Baby, konspirationer, John D. Hancocks "Let´s Scare Jessica to Death", Messiah of Evil, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, Thomas Tryons "Harvest Home", Leo Penns "The Dark Secret of Harvest Home", feministiska läsningar, Dead & Buried, In the Mouth of Madness, The House of the Devil, The Lighthouse, Widow´s Bay och Robert Eggers "The VVitch". Mycket nöje!  

In the debut of "Occult Theatre with The Schizo Bros," Jose Galison of No Way, Jose! joins Austin Wade Picard of The Underclass Podcast for a parapolitical deep dive into Robin Hardy's 1973 folk-horror classic The Wicker Man. Sergeant Howie lands on Summerisle hunting a missing girl and instead walks into a living ritual: a pagan community whose fertility rites, pageantry, and cheerful cruelty collide with his rigid Christian authority. Jose and Austin treat the island not as mere backdrop but as a laboratory of power—where tradition, spectacle, and sacrifice reveal how unofficial structures outmaneuver the state and how “civilization” itself can be a carefully staged performance.This first installment of their movie-review series goes past the Maypole and the burning wicker to ask what the film still says about hidden hierarchies, manufactured consent, and the occult theater that keeps societies running. From Lord Summerisle's aristocratic showmanship to the islanders' collective willingness to feed the harvest, they unpack the movie as a parable of competing orthodoxies and the rituals that bind—or devour—a people. Tune into "Occult Theatre with The Schizo Bros" for an unfiltered conversation that treats The Wicker Man as more than horror: a window into the real machinery of belief, authority, and blood.Please consider supporting our work- Austin's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540Austin's Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheUnderclassPodcastAustin's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnderclassPodcast#TheWickerMan #WickerMan1973 #TheUnderclassPodcast #NoWayJose #OccultTheatre #SchizoBros #AustinPicard #JoseGalison #FolkHorror #Parapolitical #MovieReview #HorrorFilm #ChristopherLee #EdwardWoodward #RobinHardy #PaganHorror #CultClassic #OccultCinema #SummerisleBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-underclass-podcast--6511540/support.

Live from Brohemian Grove in Wildwood, this Conspiracy Round Table brings together researchers, Christian thinkers, podcasters, and investigators to discuss spiritual warfare, conspiracy culture, biblical truth, occult symbolism, ritual abuse, media manipulation, prophecy, free will, and the responsibility Christians have when confronting darkness.The first panel features Ed Mabry of Faith By Reason, Laura Baker, Brian of Demon Erasers, and Jeremiah and Jacob of Skiba News Nation. The conversation explores Satanic ritual abuse claims, trauma and false memories, the dangers of conspiracy misinformation, division within the truth community, Christian unity, pride versus love, and whether believers can disagree on theology without turning against one another.The panel also examines biblical passages involving Hezekiah and Moses, questions surrounding God's foreknowledge and human free will, prophecy, Revelation, Matthew 25, 1 John 2:3, the Antichrist, Babylon, and the importance of actually knowing Christ. The discussion then turns to whether conspiracy research and Christianity can coexist. From Rob Skiba and Dr. Michael Heiser to biblical cosmology and the strange passages of Scripture, the panel argues that pursuing truth requires humility and a willingness to admit when we're wrong.The second round table features JT Follows JC, Austin Picard of The Underclass Podcast, Doc Brown of Prometheus Lens, Andrew of 6G Agenda, and Matt Hepner of Straight Bible. They dive into occult symbolism in pop culture, The Wicker Man, pagan ritual sacrifice, Burning Man, hyper-sigils, the Son of Sam case, Aleister Crowley, occult architecture, pornography, ritualized media, and the psychological toll of constantly researching evil.Most importantly, the conversation asks: when does exposing darkness become glorifying darkness? How can Christian content creators investigate evil without becoming consumed by it? And how do believers turn their attention back toward Christ, Scripture, community, peace, and the light?Join the discussion in the comments: Where should Christians draw the line when researching conspiracy and the occult?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

We're talking about the big man of horror and his best roles, Christopher Lee. With his commanding presence and immense range, Lee was far more than a red-eyed Dracula.

The Wicker Man (1973) vs Horror Express (1972) vs The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) This week Brian and Steve go through their patron's pick of a really good Peter Cushing film. Can the 15 minutes of no dialogue screentime prove to be better than the other two leading roles? Or are the patrons headed for the acid bath? Plus we learn what a Yorkshire square is and how much glass is in the average pub goer's brain.    Tune in as two mutant horror nerds and their patrons rip each other's guts out on the way to deciding who's film reigns supreme!   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to try our best to talk about cryptozoological frogs, but we admit we were easily distracted in this one. We think the Flashlight Frog would have been finally revealed to the world if a certain cryptozoologist hadn't been distracted, as well! We also investigate behemoth of a frog-creature: the Crocodile Frog of Borneo. All this and much more!

Rod Liddle was a columnist and broadcaster who strongly divided opinion. Some saw him as an entertaining satirist, others, a bigot. As a teenager he joined a punk band and studied social psychology at the London School of Economics. He was politically active too, first as a member of Socialist Workers Party and then a Labour speech writer. He later joined the BBC as a trainee producer, working his way up to become editor of the Today programme. His former boss, Roger Mosey, told us how he immediately stood out from the crowd.Vicki Wickham was one of the music industry's most influential managers with clients including Marc Almond, Morrissey, and Dusty Springfield. She landed the job of booking acts for ITV's Ready Steady Go! despite knowing little about music and became the driving force behind the show, arranging appearances by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. Vicki's friend Simon Napier Bell, who himself managed artists like Wham!, Marc Bolan and Ultravox, recalls the lasting impact she had on the industry.Simone Forti was the pioneering dancer and choreographer whose pieces often use improvisation and draw on inspiration from the world around her using everyday objects like rope and wood alongside the human body. Simone's start in life was challenging. Her Jewish family had to flee from the increasing threat of the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Her biographer Ann Cooper Albright shares her story.Justin Hardy was a Bafta and Emmy-nominated director known for historical films. His father was Robin Hardy the director of cult classic The Wicker Man. Robin had eight children by five different women and the making of the tortured film tore Justin's family apart. Justin went onto make a documentary with his half-brother Dominic Hardy, Children of the Wicker Man, where they interrogated their childhood using newly discovered documents from his father. Justin also completed his father's Wicker Man trilogy with new film Wrath of the God's - the release of which he never saw.Presenter: Matthew Bannister Producer: Ben Mitchell Assistant producer: Catherine Powell Researcher: Jesse Edwards Editor: Andrea KennedyArchive: Channel 4 News, 19/06/2014, YouTube; BBC Two, Have I Got News For You, 19/10/2002; BBC Radio 4, Start the Week, 02/06/2014; LA Women, EZTV, Kate Crash, 15/10/2012, YouTube; Huddle, Friends of the High Line, 12/11/2013, YouTube; Simone Forti, Slant Board, 1961. © 2026 The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Audio courtesy of MOCA - The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Performed January 29, 2023, during the exhibition Simone Forti (presented at MOCA Grand Avenue, January 15 – April 3, 2023); BBC World Service, Outlook, 09/04/2024

Post on patreon for patrons only for 6 months: We tackle the deepest mystery surrounding the ancient bog bodies: why were people ritually killed and deposited in bogs for millennia? Were they targets of murder, execution, or sacrifice? We analyze the long and tense debate over Britain's most famous bog body, Lindow Man, who met a brutal end in a bog in Northwest England in the 1st century AD, and in so doing, we refute the accident and criminal-murder (or “Iron-Age mugging”) theories. We carefully dissect the notion of the “threefold death,” which purports to link bog bodies like Lindow Man to ancient Celtic gods and myths. Finally, we explore the more difficult and nuanced question of whether bog killings were primarily executions or sacrifices, weighing evidences ranging from preserved last meals to manicured nails to Julius Caesar's macabre account of the “Wicker Man” sacrifice in ancient Gaul. Finally, we return to Lindow Moss, and consider the possibility that Lindow Man's death was a desperate wartime measure to combat the Roman advance.

They discuss its “Parks and Rec meets Stephen King” premise and its numerous horror movie homages including Carrie, The Wicker Man, The Shining, Jaws, Halloween, and more.

Hammer Horror delivered one of its finest 1970s films with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, despite a notoriously cursed production. This 1971 British release is the studio's fourth and final Mummy film, loosely adapted by Christopher Wicking from Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Crucially, it remains the only entry in the franchise where a physical mummy never actually appears.The trouble began early when a gap in the studio schedule forced the film into premature production. Wicking wanted to keep Stoker's original book title, but James Carreras refused, leading to a brainstorming session that birthed Blood from the Mummy's Tomb – a title Wicking never expected them to use. Wicking also clashed with producer Howard Brandy and was barred from the set, forcing him to work with director Seth Holt secretly in the evenings. Brandy later claimed the script was unshootable and heavily rewritten by Holt. Brandy also wanted to cast Amy Grant, but Sir James Carreras insisted on Valerie Leon.Tragedy struck five weeks into the six-week shoot when Seth Holt suffered a fatal heart attack on set, collapsing into the arms of actor Aubrey Morris. Michael Carreras tried to recruit Don Sharp to finish the film, but Sharp was committed to a project in Israel. Michael Carreras ultimately directed the final week himself, later noting that Holt's footage did not cut together well, forcing them to salvage what they could.Valerie Leon shines in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Queen Tera. Beyond her famous Hai Karate aftershave adverts and seven Carry On appearances – including Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing – Leon delivered a critically praised performance but clashed with the studio. She was deeply upset when producers denied her time off to attend Holt's funeral, and her refusal to perform a nude scene required a body double. Hammer never hired her again. Her career later included roles alongside two different James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.The supporting cast features incredible British character talent. James Villiers plays Corbeck, George Coulouris plays Berigan, and Aubrey Morris features as Doctor Putnum. Morris was described by Jeremy Brett to Noël Coward as the finest small-part player in London, boasting roles in The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, and as the bubble-bathing B-Ark captain in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Rosalie Crutchley plays Helen Dickerson. James Cossins brings his trademark blustering authority to the role of an abusive psychiatric nurse, and a young Anthony Head makes an uncredited appearance.Andrew Keir plays Julian Fuchs, stepping in after Peter Cushing completed just one day of filming before leaving due to his wife's emphysema diagnosis. Keir's presence links back to our Quatermass and the Pit reviews, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and Cleopatra alongside Richard Burton. The film is elevated by a brilliant electronic score by Tristram Ogilvie Cary, the pioneer who founded EMS, created the VCS 3 synthesiser, and composed the music for the first Doctor Who Dalek serial.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 May 2026, and on general sale after this date. Field of Miracles by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in the quaint village of Heatherington in 1951. But something strange is happening. In an England of post-war austerity, Heatherington is thriving - the shops are full of produce and everyone seems to have everything they've ever wanted, even if what they've wanted is the dead to return to them. The Doctor and his friends must stop the creeping invasion of the Asteri, wish-granting crystalline organisms of awesome destructive power, before they extract a terrible price from the villagers. Helter Skelter by James Moran When a bio-engineered planet and amusement park undergoes a critical malfunction, the entire planet tears itself apart - and the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are thrown back to their arrival, trapped in a repeating time loop. But for some reason, only Tegan can see the loop, not the Doctor - it has been hidden from him somehow. So why can Tegan see it, and how is she going to fix it? Land of Fools by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The TARDIS arrives in London, 1980, but something has gone wrong with the timeline. The city is a quasi-police state, overseen by a mysterious new company, Luqos, which promises miraculous gifts to its followers. As Tegan takes off to reconnect with an old friend, and the Doctor teams up with young activist Zan, Turlough is pulled into the heart of Luqos by the shadowy 'M', where they discover an old enemy at work beneath the city. Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies Recorded on: 15-17 October 2025 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and The Video Factory, New Zealand Producer Sonny McGann said: "Turlough, Tegan and the Doctor are back! We're returning to Earth, where a new threat has emerged wielding immense psionic power. In an England suffering from post-war austerity, one village appears to have everything they've ever wanted. Some will pay any price to see a wish fulfilled - a choice which may ripple through time. "Meanwhile, when a visit to an amusement park on a bio-engineered planet traps the Doctor and his friends in a time loop, one of our companions will have to step up to prevent the planet from tearing itself apart. Three new stories full of wit, emotion, and good technobabble, according to Peter Davison!" Producer Stewart Pringle, co-writer of the first and third episodes, said: "Tegan and Turlough are just great, aren't they? It's so lovely that this set is coming out around the time of Season 21 landing on Blu-ray because it's such a glorious period of Doctor Who. Field of Miracles is our tribute to The Android Invasion with shades of The Wicker Man." The second episode's writer James Moran added: "I will always refer to this story as Tegan Jovanka's Groundhog Day, which tells you all you need to know up front. It made me endlessly amused that I'd come up with a plot almost custom designed to make Tegan as angry as possible. And that was pretty much deliberate, to see how Janet would run with it!" The box set's other writer Lauren Mooney said: "Land of Fools is the Fifth Doctor in the 1980s with shades of Resurrection of the Daleks, but also a vibe of the Sylvester McCoy years. It's a proper little dystopia in a Back to the Future Part II mould, and it leads somewhere that we hope is unexpected. It's a thrill to write for this TARDIS team – the bickering, friction and lack of bonhomie gives this era such a delicious flavour of its own."

  Just in time for Beltaine we're dropping in on the merry residents of Summerisle for a look at Anthony Shaffer's The Wicker Man from director Robin Hardy. This 1973 horror movie is a pivotal feature in the folk horror tradition and presents a daring departure from common horror movie tropes, choosing to set the movie in broad daylight with a color palette of primary colors and lush greens instead of the flashing thunder and shadows of night. The air of constant menace is replaced with a cast of common rural people who seem to be having the time of their lives in the pagan paradise of a community that celebrates the old gods. Starring Christopher Lee at his most charming and charismatic, The Wicker Man is a triumph of weird horror and is a May Day tradition in the house of Bring Me The Axe! The story follows Sgt. Howie, an English cop who drops in on the Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate a the disappearance of a young girl but he finds the strange community of heathens uncooperative in his investigation and suspects that she may have been a victim of human sacrifice. There's a sacrifice, alright, but Howie has no idea to what lengths these people will go to in order to secure a healthy harvest.
