IFWT #138 - The Blair Witch Project (1999) [Halloween special ft. Flixology 101]
It's Halloween! Which means we're all entitled to a good scare. Wayne is M.I.A, lost to the darkness of the forest, so our good friend, and official stand-in, Phil of Flixology 101 is sitting in the co-host chair alongside Liam. And Lucky for us we have a whole host of contributors (listed below) giving us their opinions on the cultural phenomenon that is The Blair Witch project. Cannibal Holocaust and The Mcpherson Tape both used found-footage to tell their story, but it was 1999's The Blair Witch Project that solidified the genre as a mainstay in the horror world, going on to major box office success that would breed generations of imitators. But while our feature presentation may be a dive into The Blair Witch Project, this is a Halloween special, after all, and given that that our co-host is from the United States, we have a lot of fun divulging in our Halloween stories growing up, and the differences each country has in regards to the rituals.
