I think The Blair Witch Project was a film that the majority of the public completely wrote off thanks in part to over the top hype and zany spoofs…I don’t think people actually gave it a chance. When I experienced it I had no expectations and zero preconceptions…I went into that movie believing it was real…which added an entirely unnerving element to the whole thing.
I saw it for the first time in theaters, and at the time, I didn’t know there was a director, and a script, and that the three people losing their minds were actors. As far as I knew, I was watching a frighteningly real documentation of three real people lost in the woods, about to die in the night by means of unknown forces. This movie had what makes for a great camp fire story…that being, the scariest part about any ghost story altogether: wondering whether or not it actually happened…wondering if it could ever happen. The Blair Witch Project scared me something fierce, and I just wish more people could have shared that experience prior to all of that hype hootenanny."In October of 1994, three student film makers disappeared in the woods near Burkittesville, Maryland while shooting a documentary…One year later, their footage was found."-The Blair Witch Project, Plot Outline
