This week at The Film Club we’re talking about the found footage phenomenon, The Blair Witch Project! The film follows three young filmmakers in October of 1994 who go out to the woods of Maryland to make a documentary about the legend of the Blair Witch. Our filmmakers Heather, Mike, and Josh begin their journey to Burkittsville, Maryland to see what they can learn from the people of the town that the myth surrounds. After their interviews with the town’s residents they begin their decent into the alleged cursed woods. They successfully camp out for their first night however things drastically change the next day when they come across an old graveyard with small stone burial mounds and Josh accidentally knocks over one of the mounds which sets off a chain of events that the filmmakers couldn’t have imagined in their worst nightmares. Join us for this fun guest episode with friend of the podcast Thomas as we dive into the world of The Blair Witch Project.
