(Because these last three are written by Asphodelians, of course!)
Suggested Movies for people who want to understand what initially inspired Asphodel

The Wicker Man, 1974 (make sure you get the British 101 minute version, not the cut version)

Knightriders, 1981

(Yes, Asphodel is in many ways sort of a weird version of Knightriders Meets The Wicker Man. If you wanted to put it really shallowly.)
