![]() Not the aesthetic I myself would go for, but it worked for the Blair Witch… Once again, Josh’s screams are heard and they follow them to a house bearing demonic symbols and the bloody handprints of children. That same night, she records her infamous apology video in a style not dissimilar to most YouTubers who have been caught being racist/homophobic/. Her trap is confirmed when Heather finds a bundle of sticks the next morning containing a ritualistic goody-bag containing what appears to be left of Josh. His screams are then heard one night, and Heather and Mike deduce it to be the witch’s fabrication to draw them out of their tent and into her grasp. The fighting ensues, and Josh straight-up fucks-off. They return to their tent, and discover that their possessions have been rifled through, and slime covers Josh’s stuff. Some people will just never like dubstep. Something then attacks their tent, sending them fleeing from their campsite. Their evening entertainment of weird noises around the tent resumes, but this time the laughter of children is added to the remix. They then begin to fight between each other, and encounter a section of humanoid stick figures hanging from the trees. The activity escalates, but is found to be unexplainable. The following day, they realise they are lost and cannot find the car. Noises are heard round the tent all night, like twigs snapping, but they reduce this to woodland creatures. They arrive at an old cemetery which is made up of cairns (piles of rocks which turn out to have ritualistic meaning) and camp nearby. The next day, they continue their travels, and their ordeal begins. Supposedly, 5 men were murdered in a ritualistic fashion here in the 19th century, and their bodies disappeared without a trace. Having heard the tales and waited out the warnings, they begin their journey and head to their first stop, Coffin Rock. Kidnapped in 1888, she returned 3 days later, claiming the witch was “an old woman whose feet never touched the ground.“ Two fishermen confirm the legends of the woods being haunted, and mention some lass called Robin Weaver. Why? Because the Blair Witch told him to do so. It is claimed that Rustin Parr was a bloke who lived in the woods and kidnapped several children in the 1940s. They start off by interviewing locals, and capture a few key details that set up the rest of the film and its sequels. Well, not for budding film students Heather, Mike and Josh, who packed up their filming equipment in a car and headed to Burkittsville, Maryland to make a documentary about the urban legend of the Blair Witch. Will Smith was gettin’ jiggy with it, and Trump wasn’t President. #Blair witch true story seriesHere’s A Quick Summary Of The Blair Witch Film Series Pull on your hiking boots, and hand me the map. This article is going to provide the summary to the three forgotten ‘n’ fucked-up films that make up the series, tell you why the Blair Witch is an uncomfortably accurate portrayal of witches historically, and finish up with a stroll through the 13 urban legends that are just like the one featured in the film. So, considering the solidarity I have with the followers of this blog, I’ve decided to traumatise you, too. Like, literally last night I was researching all the different urban legends relating to witches in the US and I was convinced I had awoken the spirit of the Bell Witch. 5 years later, the footage they captured was found and put on the big screen.īut even if this specific case wasn’t true, the film itself is unnervingly accurate. The original film was based on the claim that in 1994, 3 students went missing whilst exploring the supposedly haunted woods of Burkittsville Maryland. This was the OG clickbait, this was the beginning of horror films claiming to document true events (ahem Paranormal Activity ahem), and this was the end of horror films being taken seriously.īut it was also these three things that grabbed everyone’s attention. The Blair Witch Project - and her 2 sequels - was the first film to turn on the camcorder and document the search for something supernatural. But, just like trans-rights, we have to talk about it. The Blair Witch Project (1999) is a point of contention among horror fans - you know, a bit like bringing up trans-rights at dinner with your UKIP Aunt sitting two seats down. It kick-started a horror trend, and it kicked itself down to the dregs of the film industry. It’s been mocked, and it’s been made a cultural icon. ![]()
