I'm told that a lot of Burkittsville residents don't care much for Blair Witch inspired tourism. The sequel even made that a part of the storyline. Apparently the townsfolk weren't ready for the wave of Horror fans, Goth kids and assorted madcaps that followed Blair Witch's release. It's a shame, because they probably would have made a few bucks from the endeavor.
I've visited a few of the sites used in filming Night Of The Living Dead, including the spot where the house once stood. That's in a place called Evan City, if my memory serves me right. I also did an amazing Zombie Walk in the Monroeville Mall, famous for being the place our heroes take refuge in Dawn Of The Dead. We set the record at the time for largest Z walk in history. Sadly, a group in Germany wiped that record out within a week, but at least we held it for those seven days!!
