Robin of Sherwood - Cromm Cruac
Cromm Cruac - a phantom village created by the sorcerer Gulnar (Richard O' Brien) named after the Irish deity Cromm Cruac who demanded human sacrifices.
The episode is a definite exploration of folk horror. The phantom village reminded me of Whitewood from 1960's The City of the Dead with added Wicker Man vibes and the finale which had the outlaws battling faceless cowled figures brandishing swords and wearing long black decaying robes in slow motion sword play was... well, i'm sure you can guess. Oh and not forgetting the Lovecraftian demon in the waterfall...
A fine episode

Reason: Richard is not spelled Richad.
