The scariest scene was when they're in the tent and they hear kids giggling... imagine

Reminder that people who don’t find Blair Witch scary are NPCs with no imagination.

Women are scared by this scene because The Wall reminds them of the ephemeral nature of their looks.

im genx and the only time ive shat myself since being a baby was drunk as fuck and gambled on a fart

This, a very common problem with zoomers is their utter lack of imagination.

I will never watch this movie. I refused to watch it as a kid because of idiots pretending it was real.

Before this the "realistic mockumentary" genre wasn't really big. So it was something new. Much akin to the war of the worlds radio program that scared people so bad they literally started going crazy thinking aliens really were invading.

I've only seen it while alone in a dark room at 2 in the morning.
I imagine it's a lot less scary seeing it with people, but if anyone claimed to have not found it scary in the context I saw it I'd assume they were lying.

i did because i was a kid at the time and thought it was real. during promotion for it they aired a short fake documentary on tv about how the tapes were found wrapped in a garbage bag in a well deep in the forest.

i've tried to look up the promotional footage but i can't find anything now

>I let my imagination cloud my experience of reality

That's called psychosis user, you should talk to someone about it.

Man's gotta piss

we weren't used to taking pictures of our food back then so pov movies were rare, unfamiliar, and intrinsically creepy - same reason pov home video alien abduction movies are way scarier than 3rd person ones even if they are made up

Sounds interesting
How old are you?

>this is what makes zoomers shit their pants crying for their mommies while committing suicide on TikTok

THAT'S ME IN CORNER

they let a Any Forums poster near kids?

I went to an early screening where they straight up pretended it was a real documentary.
People were terrified and it was very fun.

When I watched the movie for the first time that almost made me shit my pants

In hindsight it feels so cheap
>just slap the tents lol
>just play baby sounds lmao
but goddamn it was effective

>A scene involving a girl in bad makeup spewing pea soup made boomers FAINT
Lol

he'd be fired if they found out

>woman starts screaming because she’s terrified to “face the wall”
It’s like pottery

I was supposed to leave Any Forums long ago. But just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

There was a fictional documentary they made about the Blair witch lore that was only available either at blockbuster or Hollywood video. Is that what you are thinking of? I thought it was kino but haven't seen it in like two decades.

im 34 I was in elementary school when this came out

based and shart-pilled

>Be 6
>Go to an early screening with older sister
>They literally tell her at the door that I should not watch this
>"Ah just let him, he'll be fine"
>They play the whole shit like it's a documentary. People coming before talking about how it's real
>Scared within 20 minutes, sobbing and pee my pants
>Sister gets asked to leave.

Funny in hindsight, but I legit have no idea why my sister thought it would be smart to have me watch that shit.

They weren’t pretending it was real user, it was an ingenious marketing campaign which no “found footage” horror has ever been able to replicate since. This film single-handedly pioneered the genre, they made a whole load of additional material to make appear real, and then capitalised on the internet in its infancy to promote it. It was like lightening in a bottle.

well I told them it wasn't actually real and they all insisted it was. thats why I refuse to watch it

i don't know, i live in norway, and what i saw aired on either norwegian or swedish television. it was in american english, so i imagine it must come from the us, maybe it was what you're talking about idk

it's really strange because i can't think of any other movie that had this kind of promotional treatment here

only clear memory i have of it was a scene where the "sheriff" in a brown jacket and pants pulls up a dirty black garbage bag from an old well, and journalists taking pictures of him when he does it.

>this made the greatest generation explode with pure terror at just imagining it

Duh, because the internet wasn't really a thing for any other movie like it before. It was the first movie to use the power of the internet for marketing, and did so in such spectacular fashion that it deserves a place in movie history for it.

This whole movie nearly gave me motion sickness and it was shit. I guess I should be grateful it started the found footage genre, essentially, but beyond that, apart from being a trend setter, it was just garbage.

The original 1910 Frankenstein made people faint and the religious turn murderous with rage.

OH MY GOOODD IS THAT...IS THAT A RATHER LARGE LIMBED OCTOPUS WITH WINGS? HOLY HECK I'M GOOING INSAAANE

How did this scare people so much? It's not even a good found-footage horror.

Well, that’s fucking spooky.
