General Witchfinders presents a very special midnight screening of Robin Hardy’s 1973 folk horror masterpiece, The Wicker Man, as part of Ooser Fest 2027.
Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents’ frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders’ strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
This exclusive late-night event features a short introduction from one or more of General Witchfinders to set the scene. General Witchfinders is a British horror podcast and zine dedicated to exploring horror, cult television, and weird fiction. Ooser Fest is a three-day community festival celebrating Dorset folklore, music, film, art, and performance.
