    , we have no real evidence either way
    Dude. Really. Those are known actours on that movie, with producers and production team, and whanot. You can look it up. They made it for, like, 300,000 bucks, and it earned them serious amounts of millions. Good deal.

    Anyway, it's not even TRYING to be a real. It's a scary movie like any other. Except it's not scary.

    They ARE trying to make it look real, even though it's not.

    I've never seen any of em.. Probably not real though, alot of horror movies try to make you think it's real as a sad attemp to make you scared..
    At the beginning of Jeepers Creepers they say it is a true story. That's proof enough that it's all a load o' rubbish.

    it was without a movie. had a script, director, actors etc.

    it was one of the most cheaply made films of all time. very little lighting. just camcorders and a bit of infared on them. was the biggest percentage profit because of that.

    but it was a film people.

    No no, you see, that's where people got confused...that was the movie's plot, and not an actual claim to truth. It was a movie, and nothing more, and the cast was on MTV a million times when the movie was new, which would be kind of odd if it was real and they...died at the end.

    What are your views on the Blair Witch Project? Many people believe this is all just a hoax, and many sites and information on the internet back this idea up.
    I can't believe this movie is still discussed. It is an obvious hoax and a definite candidate for the worst film ever made.

    It may well have been a hoax, it may not be who knows, we have no real evidence either way
    Other then the filmakers admitting they made it up what more proof do you need?

    I once saw a documentary on the subject. It say's that Heather, Joshua and Micheal were sent to do a project on the Blair Witch, however they had no idea on any of the things that were to happen to them. Apparently, another team of people were studying how people would react after hearing all these stories, so they followed them at night and set speakers up all around the woods so that sounds would come from all directions.. All it took was a few rocks and a few sounds to freak the hell outta them. However, they did lose themselves, that had nothing to do with anyone else, they did that by themselves. All the arguements were apparently real, no acts. They made their own route and they had no idea that any of it was going to happen. This documentary also said that afterwards, even though Heather, Josh and Michael found out after it had all happened that they had been screwed with, they had to have treatment because of the traumatic events..
    They were professional actors and they knew exactly what was going on. The director told them to go into the woods and get footage of themselves acting scared. They did not need any "treatment" because it was all acting.

    Well, for a start it is meant to be real, because it is meant to be real life footage. That is what we are discussing in this Thread.

    And, as that other guy said, it did come 5th in the most scariest movies..
    The Blair Witch Project is so bad it's scary.


    They were sent to do a project, the people in the film are not actors, they didn't know that they were in for a scare, they just thought that they were going in there to do a project. The film makers had planned to scare the living hell outta them to make it seem more scary.
    Wrong. Heather Donahue did Steak n Shake commercials before The Blair Witch Project, she also starred in Taken, her latest project is a TV movie called Manticore. Josh Leonard played Stanley in Blur of Insanity about a year before The Blair Witch Project came out. He has also done voice acting on the Fight Club game and he is currently directing a movie called Beautiful Losers. Michael Williams has been in Long Story Short and Twelve City Blocks. They were actors and they knew what was happening.

    I do believe in the paranormal and things like that. The movie was a hoax, but i think people are forgetting that the Blair Witch exsisted (or not) way before the movie was made.
    The entire Blair Witch legend is tottally made up. Don't belive me? The filmmakers admitted to making even the legend up. Although, there was a Bell Witch, although it was never sighted in Maryland, the filmmakers got some ideas from the Bell Witch legend.
