Fictional legend

The backstory for the film is a legend fabricated by Sánchez and Myrick which is detailed in the Curse of the Blair Witch, a mockumentary broadcast on the SciFi Channel on July 12, 1999. Legend.


Made with two cameras, no sound effects or background music, only three actors, one old house. In the woods !!!

Amazing. grossed $29.2 million

Some experienced motion sickness and vomiting in the audience.

This is a pretty good one. I remember that it had a bizarre release when it came out…a few screenings, a straight to DVD release a couple years later in 2009, and its first theatrical showing (according to that wiki page) in 2022! But it had a lot of positive buzz by the time it was finally released on DVD and it’s worth checking out imo. It’s available to stream

The Excorcist

Although it's best viewed as a young teenager in an otherwise totally-empty cinema

It was a double bill - Exorcist and Excorcist ll. When the lady stood at the side in the interval with her spookily-lit tiny tray of refreshments I slid down and hid behind the seat in front, petrified

It's an extremely clear memory (a rarity let me tell ya) over 4 decades later

Dawn of the Dead was one of the most fucked up movies I've ever seen as a kid. I had watched it outside this haunted house place and I was in terror & gave me nightmares.

Not really Halloween but they are freaky, I've started the Saw films from the beginning again, I'm on number 6 now, I had bad dreams last night because I watched number 4 and 5 before bed though and its actually Halloween so I'm scaring myself but keep pausing it to come on here as I've only recently joined today and want to see what's going on lol
