A hand with black-painted nails holds a box labeled “Top 50 Horror Movies.” The scratched-off card on display shows a man in a beige suit with arms raised, from The Wicker Man (1973). The lighting is warm and moody against a dark background, giving the image a vintage horror vibe.
Is this a cult classic? Movie Night #4!

an illustration of a large wooden structure in the form of a man, about 3 to 4 times the size of a person. The head appears to be a normal head and face with beard. The body is made of "cages" of wood with people trapped inside with arms hanging out. One cage at the bottom of the right leg is open and people are coming out. People and horses are in the foreground. A flat landscape appears behind with a few trees and a house in the distance. Dark clouds in the sky.

<< This should not be construed as a guarantee of said attraction in future tours of Wales.>>
