Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay spend time staring into the corner before wrapping up Spooky Season with the bone chilling horror classic 'The Blair Witch Project.' Andy kicks things off by talking about how he accidentally traumatized a first date by first bringing her to see a sequel in this franchise, and then to an actual haunted house. Then the boys turn on their nightlights to keep the spooky ghosts away as they discuss a movie that was not only a game changer for found footage, but revolutionized the horror genre. Featuring unscripted dialogue from unknown actors, the movie punctured the pop culture Zeitgeist in the early days of the internet with a marketing campaign that insisted the footage was real. The amateur nature of the filming approach resulted in a movie that struck at viewers' most primal fears. Even the most initiated horror fans were left unsettled by the thought of a faceless demon waiting to show why you should be afraid of the dark, and very afraid of the woods. Before listening, the hosts want you to say they are sorry to Andy's mom, and Bombay's mom ... and are so so sorry for everything that happened.
