On this Spooptober episode, we look at one of the formational films of the found footage and witchcraft horror genres, the indie blockbuster THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

The film follows an ambitious college film student and her two-person camera crew as they enter the woods to find the legendary Blair Witch. But only their footage ever resurfaced again.

Next time we're going to be watching OBSESSION with Armand from THE CINEDICATE.

Stay spoopy ya'll
