In The Blair Witch Project, Heather, Josh, and Mike venture into the woods to make a documentary about the Blair Witch who, legend has it, once possessed a man named Rustin Parr and compelled him to murder children. What makes it so frightening is that believing the legend causes people to become delusional and homicidal. What makes the Blair Witch legend so frightening is not that there’s a decrepit old lady out in the woods. That idea is collective hysteria.īecause the characters in the Blair Witch films become frightened and desperate and because they all to some extent come to believe that the legend of the Blair Witch is true, they go mad and commit acts of murder. You should probably watch Book of Shadows if you haven’t because it introduces an idea that might make you re-interpret the first film.

I can’t even bring myself to watch The Exorcist.There’s a new Blair Witch film coming out so I just re-watched the original Blair Witch Project and its underrated sequel, Book of Shadows. Those type of films do a number on my psyche, because I believe such energies and forces are likely to exist. I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose one evening with a couple of friends, and some family, sun was setting but still barely out by the end portion of the film, and I was still deeply troubled and worried. Is it on Netflix do you know?īut nothing is worse than those exorcism movies. Lake Mungo, read about it because you suggested it and tmrw I’ll probably watch the trailer and get a feel for it. I can’t even bring myself to watch The Exorcist. Witches are creepy as fuck dudeīut nothing is worse than those exorcism movies. That was horrific and oddly enough, exactly what I would imagine happening in a scenario like that. Have you seen that? Idk why, but it seemed so in alignment with what you could expect.

The last scene in The Witch really got to me. I wish they didn’t but I don’t put it past some wicked minded insane individuals that no doubt exist and probably get a thrill out of such insane acts The thought alone is alarming to me just knowing the mind state of someone willing to even just test it I think there are really those kind of lunatics out there, trying their hand with black magic, conjuring evil spirits, etc. So I then wondered, “well what about those who have this kind of shit in mind for real and actually mean to test it out or worse, use it for purposeful harm against others?” But it was there, my goofy ass tweaker coworker had it in his possession and obviously had some interest in. The book made me feel nervous and somewhat frightened even though I thought it to be a joke at the time. It’s a very strange story, but the point is, even though I only read it there was something extremely wrong with the entire situation. I think I posted about it here once, but even in this day and age I was lent a book of black magic / occult spells and rituals by a coworker. It’s the witch films and the demonic related horror films that get me.
