I admit to liking The Blair Witch Project.

I didn't like the sequel at all. In fact, I remember having a strong urge to throw something through my television screen. I was able to control the urge. But I only watched it the one time. It might have been my mood.:rolleyes:

I enjoyed "The Blair Witch Project" quite a bit. Only saw it the once, though. And I couldn't sleep for two or three days afterward, because it unnerved me thoroughly. I have always felt that if I watched it again, the first time viewing experience would be polluted; so I never bought or rented it.

I did find "The Curse of the Blair Witch" on VHS recently and bought that. It is an entertaining extension of the film's false mythology.

For those that don't know:

The "powers that be" hired Joe Berlinger to make the Blair Witch sequel. Berlinger is one of the world's top documentary film makers. He is NOT a maker of major motion pictures.

Upon taking the job, he decided to go against what he thought the execs had in mind, which was probably another shaking camera in the woods. He, instead, opted to make a film that brought the "Blair Witch Hysteria" to attention.

The interviews at the beginning of the film are mostly actual townspeople talking about how people visit their town because of the first film, buy stupid things like rocks and sticks, and go romping through their cemetary. This became the basis for his film.

How did I forget Funhouse? One of my favorites in this category. Sylvia Miles as the fortune teller was memorable, that's for sure. But then I liked her in The Sentinel, too. Phantasm, The Gate, Blair Witch 2-all favorites. How 'bout Alice Sweet Alice, Black Christmas...?
