Dumfries and Galloway, Anwoth Chapel, 28th October 2022
***
***
A surprise, this one.
*
And the scene may be familiar to you, also?…
*
If you are struggling,
then the building opposite may
ring some more bells…
***
***
Anwoth chapel and old school-house
were locations for the cult classic horror film,
The Wicker Man!
***
***
A favourite film, back in the day,
now rapidly approaching
the fiftieth anniversary of its original release.
***
***
Despite the time span
the location remains relatively unchanged
save for the removal of a few props
and is instantly recognisable
for those who are familiar with the film.
***
***
We refer to the original
Nineteen-Seventy-Three version
of the film directed by Robin Hardy,
with a screenplay by Anthony Schaffer,
a soundtrack, to die for, by Paul Giovanni,
and starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, and Britt Eckland.
*
Check it out!
***
***
Not, under any circumstances, to be confused
with the monstrous Two-Thousand-and-Six remake,
starring Nicholas Cage, which version,
in my humble opinion,
should be expunged from the face of the earth.
***
***
Suffice it to say,
a rather magical half-an-hour
was spent down memory lane.
*
And if this sort of thing
is your cup-of-tea…
***
***
Then, put the kettle on!
