10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE RITUAL FILM SHOOT.

"They should have gone to Vegas"

October 2026 is the 10 year anniversary of The Ritual film shoot.

This month, one decade ago, I had my set visit in the Carpathians, Transylvania, Romania.

A time of magical transformation.

For me, Halloween is also a time to watch the film again and reminisce.

And now I have until midnight to pay Moder (aka the Jotunn) back ... It's that time.

My shed is soundproof. Just sayin'.
