50 Years Later, The Blood on Satan's Claw Is Still a Rich Piece of Haunting Folk Horror
by Michael Gursky
“50 years after its release isn't too late to celebrate the unshakably nightmarish mood of this dark arts romp about a village overcome by witch hysteria, now faced with a demonic force that's turning their children into furry, false God-worshipping killers. It's perhaps the most Hammer film Hammer never made.”

In addition to “the unholy trilogy” of Witchfinder General, The Blood on Satan’s Claw, and The Wicker Man, I’ll be streaming the fantastic documentary, WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED: A HISTORY OF FOLK HORROR (2021) dir. Kier-La Janisse, as a primer for the three feature films.
It’ll be starting in about 90 minutes from now.

This movie is soooo trippy!
has a pretty resoundingly evil plot twist in there too

Here’s a short article, made up of some interesting interviews with the director and musical director on the making of The Wicker Man, by Dave Simpson for The Guardian:
How we made The Wicker Man
“Director Robin Hardy and musical director Gary Carpenter remember a descent into paganism that started in a Manhattan hotel room and ended up with the film company rubbishing their own work”

When Neil Howie, a Police Sergeant and devout Christian, journeys to the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl, he is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity in favor of a form of Celtic paganism, and suspects they are hiding something…
It’s THE WICKER MAN (1973) starting ~ 11:20 PM US CST after Witchfinder and Satan’s Claw!
