Doctor Who, Phallic Symbolism, and "The Lair of the White Worm" - Folk Around and Find Out Pt 3

12/11/2023
Wrapping up our “Folk Around and Find Out” triple feature, join us as we brave the Stonerich Cavern in Ken Russell’s loose (in more ways than one) adaptation of Bram Stoker’s pagan horror novel, THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM, starring Peter Capaldi, Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Sammi Davis, and Catherine Oxenberg. The film is a surreal and visually stunning horror-comedy based on the legend of The Lambton Worm.

Oh, and we find out that Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi is actually a past version of Harold Ramis.
