The Impact of The Blair Witch Project: The Right Film at the Right Time

instead of the Blair witch 2 with was the worst movie ever!!! they should have made "The Curse of Ellie Kedwards", and told her story

Me and my friends snuck into the movie theaters when we were kids and watched this for the first time i remembered that i couldn't sleep for a week this was by far the scariest movie ive ever saw

The inclusion of the web site sfx for each segment title card hit me with MASSIVE nostalgia.

Please do more of these kinda videos man this was so peak

In my opinion I really like the Blair witch 2 book of shadows. I still watch it every once and awhile.

bla bla bla boring next video

the green ribbon mentioned !!!!!!!!

Shoutout to Cloverfield as well!

Good job! This is very thorough and impressive 😊

Awesome analysis! This is the video I needed all along!

And About Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County?

im 31 and i definitely remember thinking this was real 😂

There was one additional mockumentary you didn't mention, The Burkittsville Seven , which takes a true-crime approach to the Rustin Parr murders in particular. It even opens with a talking head who dismisses not just the legend of the Blair Witch, but the very movie it ties into, as hokum. Specifically, it focuses on the eighth child Parr abducted, the one he made stand in the corner, and his own decades of psychological torment and downward spiral from the trauma of this event, though there are plenty of hints that the boy wasn't quite right before all that.

Great job 👏

Great movie and great video discussing it?

The sudden mention of Marble Hornets really got me, especially with so much of it being influenced by Blair Witch and then the trend of the "Slenderverse" args that were not only inspired by MH but also inspired directly by Blair Witch. I actually found out about the movie through EverymanHYBRID, another ARG series that came after Marble Hornets that repeatedly references Blair Witch and draws direct inspiration. Thank you for the video, just genuinely surprised at the mention

Re2 music....love it

Wow 1 percent would have them set for life. Shame but they agreed on the lump sum

My grandpa plays an extra in the gallows.
Really lame claim to fame
Edit: David the janitor

I see you’re a resident evil fan brother i love it RE2 remake and RE3 remake save room music

The twist is that the movie is actually real. If you look closely, the “actors” from the movie in real life are not the same as the people in the actual movie. It’s a cover up by either ASFB or another government program. The whole northern section of the forest has been cordoned off since around ‘97 if you visit the area. Film fans are going to the wrong place in the Black Hills. You can also see it on Google Maps.

Amazing video... deserves a lot more views... covers pretty much everything blair witch... great production quality! Kudos!

The Sixth Sense is not a horror movie, it's a thriller.

The bit about Jason Blum being inspired by Blair Witch Project reminds me of how a small indie game I like called "Cortex Command" is what inspired Minecraft's pre realese model which in turn created early access games like we see today.

A non-game ARG would just be "Un-fiction" IIRC

you actually made me want to watch this

that zoobooks commercial just entered my mind for the first time in 25 years

the blair witch project didn't prove low budget horror movies could be a home run, the texas chainsaw massacre 1974 did

Jenny and her green ribbon fucked up a whole generation.

Oh my god... I watched The Outwaters in May of this year and When I saw the ending, I was screaming bloody murder.

The Sixth Sense opened the same weekend as BWP, and was the bigger hit at the time.

I really love this comprehensive deep dive into "The Blair Witch Project." I admit I've only seen the movie once, and while the hype kind of spoiled it for me and I don't find it that scary, I do have much respect for its place in horror film history and the lore is creepy. Maybe I need to rewatch this movie in a different atmosphere than the first time (with the lights on in early evening). But either way, I love this breakdown of the movie! Keep doing more, please!

Blair witch 2 is underrated

so true

You used music from resident evil 4

The green ribbon is lame. Sorrrrryyy. But I instantly knew the big reveal as soon as the ribbon was introduced. I was actually hoping for something more interesting because of the inclusion of the story in this video.

If Alien was Jaws in space, The Blair Witch Project was Jaws in the woods.

earned a sub for this one big dawg

WHOOO THE RESIDENT EVIL 2 POLICE STATION SOUNDTRACK

In.1999, I took my boyfriend to see The Blair Wich Project. We decided afterwards it was fake.

the 90's got PLENTY of bangers in the genre In The Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Candyman, The People Under the Stairs just to name a few

BRO...PLEASE make a video on the upcoming remaster

I was in my late teens when this came out. The viral internet thing was real...I heard about the websites that were popping up from one of my friends before I ever saw the TV ads for the movie. I remember going to one of the sites and sort of figuring out that it was a marketing campaign, but it took me a little while...they did a really good job of projecting that this was a documentary and that this was real found footage...I mean of course after a bit I figured it out, but the whole thing was really well done and intriguing. Very ahead of its time. The movie itself wasn't even that great in my opinion, but all the stuff around it made it.

This video was so well done 👍

Them not being allowed to see each others character's motivation for the day, made their improvisation so real

I’m late, but this style video is perfect! I’m getting ready to work and I was so deep into this video ! You deserve more subs
