This Day in Horror History: THE WOODS Was Released in 2006
A perfect film for this time of year (and one of the movies featured in October’s witch-themed #MonthOfDread2020 horror challenge), The Woods was released in the US of this day in 2006 (following its Fantastic Fest premiere a month prior). Starring Agnes Bruckner and Patricia Clarkson with a killer cameo from Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness), The Woods is directed by Lucky McKee from a screenplay penned by David Ross.
