The Wicker Man and Iron Maiden
Christopher Lee starred in many now-classic horror movies, among them The Wicker Man, which ended up becoming the direct inspiration for a metal song 27 years after its release. Christopher Lee is one of the most respected actors of his generation, with an impressive career spanning over six decades and covering not just movies and TV projects but also music.
Iron Maiden’s name was inspired by an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' The Man in the Iron Mask, referring to the iron maiden torture device. The lyrics of “The Wicker Man” aren’t exactly themed around the movie, and, instead, are about the apathy that has taken over society and the disinterest in everything happening around it. “The Wicker Man” made its way to charts all over the world during its release, and it’s among Iron Maiden’s most popular songs.
