Episode 105: Spooky Canon Month II (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, 1999)

"Woke up this morning, just like two seconds ago, and there are piles of rocks outside of our tent." Curtis, Simon, and special guest Dr Thomas (Tommy) Britt continue spooky canon month with the latest entry: 1999's THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. The boys discuss the lore, their favourite scary moments, various theories, the film's background and legacy, found footage supernatural horror, living near the filming location, and more. They also talk about CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH and THE BURKITTSVILLE 7, two mockumentaries made alongside THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT as part of the film's marketing campaign, and the real-life horror surrounding THE REAL BLAIR WITCH (2003). Tune in next week for GINGER SNAPS (2000), a Canadian cult classic about werewolves and puberty!
