The original Wicker Man did not become known as "the Citizen Kane of horror films" overnight, or even during the horror boom of the 1970s. It vanished into relative obscurity for some time before its rediscovery, and look at that baby burn now!]]> http://calitreview.com/22444/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/21230 http://calitreview.com/21230#comments Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:00:29 +0000 Elinor Teele http://calitreview.com/?p=21230 http://calitreview.com/21230/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/20918 http://calitreview.com/20918#comments Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:00:21 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=20918 http://calitreview.com/20918/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/20370 http://calitreview.com/20370#comments Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:00:52 +0000 Ed Voves http://calitreview.com/?p=20370 Dictionary of National Biography and a personification of the Victorian pater familias.
