It's been a weird year for modern horror, there have been some great releases from around the world but you can't beat a good classic. THE WICKER MAN is back in the limelight for it's 40th anniversary thanks to Studiocanal as it launches a search that will lead them down some strange avenues.

Shock til you drop have the story along with other sites and it seems that Studiocanal have thrown down the gauntlet to fans like myself to spread the word that the search is on and I shall take that duty with my wig on and morris dancer bells rattling as I run round the internet to spread that word!!!
If you've not heard the story of how the uncut footage came to vanish or where it might be now then I highly suggest you take a look at the history of the film. It's a brilliant story and as formats progress I worry that some classic horror will be lost but it's studios like studiocanal that keep these classics alive and restore them for a new generation. Show your support and spread the word about the search so that Lord Summerisle may live on...
What do you guys think? Is this a task beyond the means of mortal man or will the gods smile down upon Studiocanal and give them the break they're looking for?
