The 1973 British horror film The Wicker Man directed by Robin Hardy has the strange distinction of being defined as a musical horror film that is equally adept in both departments. The films unique brand of unsettling Pagan chills is set to Folk songs composed by Paul Giovanni, come together to create incredibly unnerving, ‘something’s not quite right here’ portrait of the films seemingly peaceful Hebridean island –Summerisle, which never fails to creep me out! Arguably the film’s most well known moment outside of the downbeat ending is the scene where a landlords beautiful daughter (played by Britt Ickland, though a body double stands in place for moments of this particular scene) dances and sings naked against wall in an attempt to seduce the films main protagonist, a devout Christian policeman.
