Ritualistic Horrors
 

Murderous cults, shocking sacrifices and horrifying rituals have long since been the stuff of nightmares. It’s no surprise then, that the horror genre is teeming with blood-curding paganistic imagery. With the upcoming release of Anchor Bay’s The Wicker Tree Blu-Ray and DVD, a blackly comic and terrifying sequel to the British classic The Wicker Man, what better time then now to have a run down of cinema’s greatest Pagan-themed horror films. So, cover yourself in goats blood and prepare for a list of unspeakable horror…


Here's a thread to discuss all things Pagan or ritual Horror. What are your favourite pagan themed horror films? What about films with a killer cult; cannibals, suicides, etc.

Take a look at this blog for a run down of 5 of the best - http://www.cult-labs.com/blog/2012/0...istic-horrors/

A very fine film! :nod:

Greetings!

A great selection there :nod:

Although, no mention of The Devil Rides Out?!

Shame on you, Kyle! :tongue1:

Another favourite of mine featuring a hippy cult...

I Drink Your Blood (1970) trailer - YouTube

Look closer - it's in there ;)

OH.

DEAR.

GOD!

That's one of my favourite films of all time. The trailer is easily the best ever made.

It's not ranked, so it doesn't count! :p

In other news: I suck at reading. :o

:D

A real gem of a film that's desperately in need of a UK release.

Amen! :hail: If only Arrow could release this film with I Eat Your Skin - I'd snap that up in a second!

"The Rites of Uranus" classic porn about a cult of arse worshipping/buggering occultniks.;)

A quick google search showed me this image among far ruder ones :laugh:
