| The Last Sacrifice examines the mysterious murder of Charles Walton in rural England in 1945, the way the gruesome murder and its lack of a clear suspect led to myths and intimations about the killing being linked to witchcraft, and the way fact, fiction, myth, and sensationalism blend uncontrollably, from the Walton killing to the media fascination with the rise of neopaganism in the 60s and 70s and the folk horror boom of the era. |
