Blair Witch

Woods found-footage terror

The Blair Witch is a fictional supernatural entity from the 1999 horror film *The Blair Witch Project*, a purported documentary about student filmmakers who vanish in Maryland woods while investigating local legend.

The film's found-footage style spawned countless imitators.

Blair Witch now evokes low-budget horror filmmaking, shaky handheld cameras, and unseen menace: The video had real Blair Witch vibes.
