have you seen the original wicker man? it's creepy and great. perfect for halloween movie season. the original is such a british movie though, i mean, the whole pagan stuff, the idea of nic cage in a hollywood remake of it is laughable from the start. i recall it was a huge fiasco when it came out.

Original Wicker Man is genuinely creeptastic. I never bothered with the Nick Cage version.
