Night 7: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT – This Woods is Cursed | 13 Nights of Halloween w/ @Afterhrsvideo ​

It’s Night 7 of our 13 Nights of Halloween series—and this one’s extra special. We’re joined by our friend and horror archivist Steven from After Hrs Video to help us celebrate our 100th episode of The Average Reviews!  And what better way to mark a milestone than by getting lost in the woods with one of the most iconic horror films of the last 30 years: The Blair Witch Project.  Released in 1999 and shot on a shoestring budget, The Blair Witch Project changed the horror landscape forever. With its shaky cam, raw performances, and groundbreaking viral marketing campaign, it blurred the lines between fiction and reality—and terrified audiences into thinking it might just be real.  🎙️ In this episode:  • We dig into the film’s production and legendary DIY marketing  • Talk found footage origins and what made it work  • Debate whether it still holds up—or if nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting  • And break it all down using The Average scoring system: story, scares, atmosphere, rewatchability, and more  ✨ Be part of the conversation!
