I definitely want to watch this.

Unlike almost everything I recommend, it's on YouTube! There is also a BFI DVD, if you can play Region 2.

I had to double-check that it predated Thomas Tryon's Harvest Home, but it does, by the same three years as The Wicker Man. I keep meaning to find out if Kingsley Amis' The Green Man (1969) is folk horror or just sounds as though it should be.

Bernard Hepton is great. I think I first saw him as Thomas Cranmer in The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R.

I haven't seen either of those! Looking at the combined casts, however, in addition to Hepton I see Keith Michell, Dorothy Tutin, Rosalie Crutchley, Patrick Troughton, Glenda Jackson, Rachel Kempson, Margaretta Scott, Michael Williams, David Collings, and Michael Culver, so, really, I'm not sure what my excuse is.
