The Blair Witch Project is one of the scariest movies of all time, and largely because the performances are so raw. Everything feels real. I know it's been a rough road for the actors but I hope they're at least proud of the fact that they created something so visceral and powerful.
I love watching these interviews after I've watched the films, they calm my nerves. This one, Book of Shadows and the latest film, scared me witless, the o ly time I've asked a total stranger, if I could hold on to them out of sheer fright and I still hate going camping. As a wiccan, the number 7, rock formation (used to mark graves) and the wodoo stick dolls made it really real and their amazing improvisation
@@sehyde26 definitly, not to mention that the marks used on the house foundation and on the cast in the second film are based on real wicca runes. Google it
Man, I remember being 11 years old watching this in the theater with my older sister. I had so much trouble falling asleep for what felt like several weeks. Everything surrounding the marketing made it feel so real, especially with that documentary and since the internet was still in it's infancy stages, there just wasn't any fact checking. A lot of fan websites started popping up perpetuating the myth and interviews where the actors were like "It's okay, we're okay, it's not real!" weren't available online if you missed it on live TV. It really was a perfect storm, a "you had to be there" time.
Heather looks so engaged. I love that she's just smiling through out this video. She's waving and saying hello. She looks so connected and grounded. I love this film and I love the cast❤. Heather is the rock of this film. So strong
I assume she still loves the original but hate everything afterwards. It's honestly understandable since it's her name attached to something she doesn't even have anything to do with anymore
I saw "Curse of the Blair Witch" on Sci Fi and was hooked and believed it was real. I went to see the film opening day and the theater was packed, full up...there were even people sitting on the floor in front of the screen. It was one of my most memorable filmgoing experiences...the audience was tense and rigid and there were shrieks and groans at certain points near the end...it was scary and great. I still watch the film every October.
I remember watching blair witch in the movie theater when it came out !! It was terrifying the first time you seen it as a kid especially when your under the impression that it's real footage ..the acting was incredible..I'll never forget the feeling I had about the woods walking out of there
This dynamic of the film transferred over to real life with the producers and directors. Getting millions of dollars in the cast is still living out in the tent of living in a lower class, poor life, because they weren’t shared with the profits.
Big hug for everybody who thought it was real like my friends told me. I was so scared , i lost weight in the next weeks. Woods and camping where never the same...🙈
I'm just happy to see Heather accepting the fan praise and love for the movie. I know for a while there she kinda wanted to move past it wanted to be left alone. I'm glad she's resurfaced.
Just watched Blair Witch Project again. I honestly didn't why people don't like the film... It's an absolute classic!! Thanks Mike, Heather, (And Josh!!).. 👍🏻😎
Saw this in theaters at 15. Saw the special about the witch and Rustin Parr, but I never saw anything that said it was fake. I didn't sleep much that night (it was oddly released in the summer, but that meant shorter nights,so I just stayed awake until dawn and then went to sleep in the morning, lol), and I didn't find out it was fake until the cast showed up at the MTV video music awards....3 months later. So for 3 months I honestly thought it was real, and they were dead, lol.
We didn't know things were going to change so radically in just a few years. Our brains were permanently altered by the internet and the cursed smartphones. I mean, I had internet access at home as early as 1997, but the internet was something completely different back then and you simply weren't online 24/7 because... dial up. I just wanted to once again feel that sense of HOPE and WONDER we had back in the 90s.
I recently read about how all the actors were basically doing day jobs about 2 weeks after the film came out. They got nothing for residuals practically and fame was kind of a tease. Heather even said that her beat-up old car broke down right under a billboard for the movie It sucks because had they been implemented they could have been really used in some top-notch work. Seems that they're happier anyway so I guess it's for the better
Something else I'd like to mention that perhaps someone can help me with. As a child I would go to the mountains of Pennsylvania and my grandparents had about 100 acres there. This was mostly woods and my aunt who was a teen then would take us on walks. I saw things exactly like were in the trees in those woods as in the movie! I was mortified 😢 watching the movie and remembering those things as a child, I'm just like WTF? Then I learned that some of those symbols actually come from witchcraft! Double WTF! Powerful movie, the parodies are funny too but that darn movie is terrifying ❤!
Honestly, this movie is sheer genius. I wonder if modern audiences fully appreciate it because of the digital era, and because of the really lame sequels that sort of muddy the lore of the story. Anyone who has not seen the OG should go back and watch it, and imagine a time before cell phones and GPS devices.
Josh was the only way they were going to live! Thats why they had to kill him off! Love is great but at the end of the day a killer is going to kill you! That's why we were melancholy a bit at the end of the movie!
🪵🏞👥🗣🧙♀️🌲🪨🏚 This is a fantastic indeph interview i''d love to visit the location someday. I can't believe it's been 25 years now for The Blair Witch Project. 🇬🇧
If they hadn't had Heather apologize when they did, as creepy as the film was i was already like, would somebody just kill her already! LOL Love ya Heather but God you can be annoying!😂

they really dont get the respect they deserve, the acting was fucking phenomenal
And what's crazy a little more than half of the movie wasn't acting they literally were just stuck in the woods while the directors followed them
“That MAP was useless!!!” Always runs in my head 😂
“I kicked that fucker right in the creek.” Wooooo!”
😆😆😆
"If we get hurt or if we die out here it's your fuckin' fault!!!!!"😂❤
@trippyhlut687 and I cry every time. Their "acting" became so real I get shivers
Blair Witch 3: They're found, 30 years later!!
that is actually a great idea. don´t waste that on a yt comment 😉
She is still so beautiful... And VERY kind.. we have been friends on Facebook for years ❤

Yes, after watching something scary, it's grounding to watch a behind the scenes or making of or cast interview to remind you that it's all fake.

She changed her name briefly and is her birth name again.

@@Vitorio582 and they were paid a set fee? Like the Paranormal Activity actors.

So fucking cool. Remember when this movie came out. End of the 90's and start of the 2000's. Awesome time.

It was the best horror experience at the time!!
Such a great interview. So glad to learn even more new things about the movie we never knew

Super, super interesting insight into what was was a really interesting method for making a film.
Blair witch was genius. The actors did an incredible job. It still scares me.
JOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Same thing happened to Paranormal Activities actors.
Great comment and it’s true! Things got so bad that heather changed her name. They never got what was owed money wise
@@allanm2064 they were independent contractors. They weren't made shareholders of the success.
I would totally buy a 22 hour taco cut.
I saw the docu on Discovery, then the poster for the movie in the papers next day and thought wtf.. Great stuff!
It really caught lightning in a bottle, great movie
Looking forward to the 25th anniversary release with (fingers crossed) tons of new bonus material. Criterion Collection perhaps?
Second Sight Films
Josh is still missing all these years later.
legends say they still havent gotten to his car.
One of my favorite movies ❤🫶🏾 I love it
So are they ever going to release all 22 hours of footage
Now that I would pay all the money in the world to see!
i definitely wanna see the on screen outtakes
Smart ending, as it comes back to Rustin Parrs doing.
Filmmaking on the edge.
Such a great idea, starting the found footage genre & making it was almost kind of like an experiment
Awesome film I remember seeing it when it first come out at the theater at the Four Seasons Mall in North Carolina
but where is josh?
Great upload thanks! 😁

Hope they get paid well for their roles in the movie.
They didn’t - you can google it…
here's Michael's confession for those interested: ua-cam.com/video/buPHUAorw0Q/v-deo.html
It’d be interesting thing to produce a high budget film about the Dyatlov Pass by Sánchez and Myrick
Honestly, this movie is sheer genius. I wonder if modern audiences fully appreciate it because of the digital era, and because of the really lame sequels that sort of muddy the lore of the story. Anyone who has not seen the OG should go back and watch it, and imagine a time before cell phones and GPS devices.
Luv' HD!
Missing Out on Profits for Decades
You'll never convince me these were the kids.
The survivor potential for dbd all three of them have is something that no one talks about and I want it to be a reality so bad
Marry Brown was the blair witch
She was so creepy
That lady haunted my dreams for a long time the weird freaky thing
Spoiler, I am the Blair Witch.
The production company made over $200 M in profit and I bet these guys did not get paid enough.
Jay Bauman in the house
Come on Lionsgate, be cool....
heather's been through hell, just finished reading her wikipedia
For any Aussies out there, don’t you think the director looks like Scott Morrison?
😂 yep!
Josh was the only way they were going to live! Thats why they had to kill him off! Love is great but at the end of the day a killer is going to kill you!
That's why we were melancholy a bit at the end of the movie!

I thought they all fell out over their real names being used?
Only Heather, who changed hers to Rei Hance.
@@paulmckenzie2232 - You mean she change her name after Blair Witch because of the fact she had inadvertently signed it over to public domain?

One hit wonders, now their desperate to nickel and dime it because they never did anything else. Has beens with no talent!
