This week on Bring Your Own Blockbuster, Jack and Ben take a deep dive into the 1970's British folk horror classic The Wicker Man. They debate whether it should truly be considered a horror film, as many cast and crew members believed otherwise.


The pair also explore the concept of 'daylight horror' and what it represents. Additionally, they delve into the clash between Christianity and Paganism, discussing how this theological battle has influenced Britain's history.


Ben shares a fascinating bit of trivia about how one of the original cuts of the film was lost forever.
