Exactly what I was thinking. In fact, I was searching for the first TV possible footage of an interview with her and found this. I absolutely believe that some of the people in this audience were surprised she was alive.
+Emii ddrr Nope; it's all fake. A lot of extraneous effort was put forth into establishing the lore, though, so I can understand why you're inclined to believe that.
men.... the history is all true, the " history " . of the blair wich , the history of the rustin parr is true, the history of Elly Kedward( the witch) is true, the history, of coffeen rock is true..the place of the wich is in, is true.... but the movie... this movie, is just a fake movie.. who in the beggin talk about the history of the blair wich , and yes this is history is true.. the rest of the movie, is just a " movie "
@@emiiddrr8891 Everything you just said is fake. It was just thought out with so much detail that it makes it more believable. That's a filmmaker's job.
I agree! The "real footage" marketing gimmick was no different than The Texas Chain Saw Massacre or Fargo (both amazing films). This film is beyond amazing. Even today.
I had a good friend that said the movie sucked.... Some people just cant embrace theater of the mind. Not only was the marketing genius but this film added a new genre to the movie industry. I watch this move a few times in the fall every year and am watching it right now! definitely in my top 5
The marketing was definitely genius!!! I remember when it came out... we thought it was real! I was scared for a LONG time afterwards... but I kept going back to it! Haha!
What's interesting is you cannot watch the movie for the first time NOW and get the same experience as you could have THEN when it was first released. The marketing and back story that was created back then complimented the movie so well that it made you suspend your disbelief and you bought the premise of the movie. Now days with the explosion of the internet people go into the movie knowing it's fiction and they don't get the same experience we did watching it at release. That said I find it to be a brilliant movie that was well done and accomplished what it set out to do.
i went and got the movie, thinking it was real. i must say i really enjoyed it. it doesn't matter anymore that i know it's fake since i found out after i'd watched it.
True. But there's always the occasional youngster who just hasn't heard of this movie. Slice of life: I'm 34 and I have a "little" brother who is 22. When the movie came out he was only 7 so naturally he didn't see it. Well up until last year he had still never heard of it so I explained to him how three students went to make a documentary about a witch in the woods and then disappeared and how the footage was found a few years later, I showed him the promo website which looks very amateurish, etc. Well I sat down with him thinking that would be a great night and it was - he literally shit his pants watching them die not really knowing what was happening. Which was very funny because he's always been quite the skeptic. Let me tell you, though I had seen the movie many times before, that night I was almost feeling as if I was watching it for the first time back in 1999 when everybody was scared to death in the theater.
that movie is one of a kind in that genre. that story made me smile a little, i'm glad someone can still enjoy the original movie the way it was intended at its time. i got to admit though that i was a little skeptic having seen the Chernobyl film before. but still TBWP gave me the creeps it was pretty cool.
The witch let her off work that weekend for some interviews, but her break is now over and she is back at work out in the woods. This is all third party info though, maybe the witches twitter got hacked? 😁
i just watched the blair witch project, i thought it was real and fealt bad for them then in the ending credits it said written by so and so starring so and so xD lol it's all a made up movie i'm glad that theyre all alright :)
The acting in Blair Witch Project is how acting *should* be. It's pretty unfortunate that so many movies have this mechanical and lifeless feel to them so often, I don't know how to describe it but you can very often tell that you are watching a movie, because the characters simply aren't acting as real-life people. Blair Witch Project is an exception though, and should inspire all actors in the world.
Jerry Brooklyn The credits actually don't list any actors, they are all uncredited and the main actors used their real names. there is a quick disclaimer at the end but it's under another chunk of text and you have to be really quick to read it
I had one prerequisite for my girlfriends while I was single, they had to watch this with me the weekend before we'd go camping. It's a strange tradition but during the first weekend the weather is warm enough to have the windows open I watch The Blair Witch Project, Scream, and Children Of The Corn. My wife hates it.
LOL, the Backstage ad made it sound like they were looking to recruit cast for a snuff film. If they had 2,000 responses...it must be fairly easy to pull a snuff film together, even these days.
It's an excellent horror movie if you watch it 2-3 times and understands it. Many people don't get the end because it happens so fast, and sometimes even pieces from the movie. I think most humans are terrified of the unknown especially when you hear it but can't see, it's way scarier than the typical slasher with a guy and a knife. Being alone in a dark forest, far away from your comfort level, it's horrible !
You can tell when he brought up the movie making $80 million she looked like she was going to cry. Sitting in that chair she had only received $8000 to be in the movie.
OH MY GOSH !! WAS THAT MOVIE "ACTING"???? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF U PEOPLE ! u scared the hell out of me ! but they are ...UNBELIEVABLY GREAT ACTORS WOW ! I REALLY BELIEVED IT
Well, that's not really true crouchtrac. The filmmakers launched a viral campaign leading up to the release of the movie, which included posting missing person fliers and setting up a website dedicated to the mythology of the witch. Even the Burkittsville Sheriff contacted the directors requesting information about the missing students. Additionally, at the very beginning of the film there is a declaration that what we are about to see is the footage found from the missing students.
You questioning why anybody asks if Star Wars is a true story. That makes no sense. Star Wars was an action-adventure film with special effects that don't exist in the real world. Blair Witch Project was a documentary style that CLAIMED to be real in the very beginning that had no special effects. There's no comparing the two. A better question would be, "Why doesn't anyone ask if Cloverfield is a true story?" But even then, that would still be a ridiculous question.
Umm i dont get it , when they show some footage of the movie at the beginning , heather screams ''Oh my god what the fuck?!What the fuck!?'' , it is not the original footage , because i do have the first releases of the movie and she says ''oh my god what the fuck IS THAT?! What the fuck IS THAT!?'' the ''is that'' are missing in this footages , in fact the whole footage seems different...
The setup of that talk show sucks. The chair Heather is sitting in is in front of the host's desk. The guests have to turn backwards to talk to him. Can you say whiplash? 🙄
@killer09133 its called viral campaing, back on the day it was a good marketing strategy, its like making a movie same style (shacky camera) and say thats based on real events, whit actors that are pretty much unknow and very under
what the whole story is a fake ??? all the story about the witch what calls on the dvd curse of the blair witch ??? no rustin parr ?? no coffin rock ??? oh man this realy sucks i thought it would be real =(
I'm most surprised at the people in this comment section saying they "had no idea" that the movie was a faux documentary, even up until a few years ago. I saw this in a theatre, in 1999, and everyone knew it wasn't "real" found footage. Not a huge secret.
XD no, it wasnt true. most of it was made up, though i think a small portion of it was an actual legend. the town, though (the modern one, ot the old "blair" actually exists. look it up on wiki.
@spcbobert Same with me i've always wanted something strange to be going in the world! But now i'm just pissed and disappointed! But it's my fault for being sooo gullible
relax guys... it's just a movie... and they never said based on REAL facts in case you dont know every movie based on real facts have this warning. And blair witch didnt have any ;)
i remember seeing the film at the little theatre in rochester new york.they opened the film claiming that it was real.....we believed him......it fucked me and my friend up pretty bad.
@richievegas01: Agree, the website is still up now.. lol.. they actually have it about the making of the movie though instead of making people believe it was true.
Lol they were probably laughing their asses off when they made this movie. Pretty smart though I guess, just claim that the whole movie is taped by the people so they dont even have to spend money on expensive cameras and all that. And that part where the pile of rocks appears around the tent, I bet someone made that up off the spot hahaha. Now I know why the fat guy went missing early, he probably got tired of walking through the woods so much and quit lol.
@hellhase you can believe whatever you want, i suppose. Any sort of logic would tell you that it's not real. I like to pretend i have no logic. It makes the magic seem real. I feel like believing it, and no matter what anyone says, i'll keep believing it until i get tired of it. One day i'll look at it logically and say it's not possible. But for now let me stay in my own world where creatures like the Blair Witch exist in mysterious/creepy settings while killing people behind the scenes :P
@yakumin that's kinda what i think, in a way. I mean, i've learned over the years that no one, unless they're some sort of imaginative genius, can come up with a completely ORIGINAL idea. Everyone bases their ideas and such off of things that they've already heard of or seen before. This could be relative to the movie. Maybe the writer heard of something like this, and made such a film based off of it? Or maybe he really made an original idea. No one but the writer knows for sure :\
I'm HONESTLY not exactly sure what i think of this...i'm reading everything online. When the movie came out, i was four. I only heard about the Blair Witch legend last year, honestly. And i heard about the Blair Witch Project YESTERDAY. At first, i honestly thought, "Wow, i wonder what happened to them." Then i went searching for videos. That's when i heard about the movie. So the question is: Was the movie just a movie, or was it really based off of a true event? Believe what you may.
Ok......i saw the movie 3 days ago and i have never heard that it was fake......i was convinced that it is real......now i feel like the biggest, stupidest, dumbest asshole in the world..........i just gotta say one more thing: All three of the actors deserve Oscars....i have never seen such acting in any of the movies i have seen in my life. And i have watched a lot of movies.....im just amazed by this whole thing..
for it to be really scary you have to put yourself in there shoes thinking what if that was me thats why i love this film it was really scary for 99, now its more of a cult classic i just like the direction it was going for people expected 90's horror which was horrible and got something better but just didn't get it, there needs to be more movies like this, thank god for Paranormal Activity
I've read alot of these comments on here and here's what I say to all of this.Yes this movie was not real, it says so at the end of the credits, though I dont think most people watch those lol.Secondly, the people who are trashing the people who thought it was real need to stop. Its not their fault the filmakers made it to look like it was real and if I may say that means the movie did what it was supposed to then.
im not sure im getting this ovie right. So it's just a movie, fine, but the directors not tell the actors what was going to happen? Heather and Craig talk like if the directors or whoever did stuff and the actors had to develop what they did or whatever. Could someone, who actually knows not just think that they know, explain this?
Thats what made this movie so scary... if you know true fear and terror... this movie was terrifying because you saw REAL FEAR. The first "reality entertainment" showed what happend when you take unsuspecting people put them on camera and mess with their head without them know about it.... THUS "REALITY TV WAS BORN"
It doesn't really say anything for sure. Maybe he just really likes the idea and wants to pursue it. Or maybe the 3rd one is to make up for the 2nd. I kinda choose to believe it, just for the fun of it. I mean, if it's all fake, then that's really no fun at all. So, for my own enjoyment, i pretend it's real. I just hope one day everything will be made clear [[not likely :P]]
nobody claimed it claimed it to be real apart from the viewers, if anyone from the production team claimed it to be real then we would know it was a lie because if it we real there'd be no production team because they would be dead, sooo to sum it all up there is very little possiblity that anyone apart from some dumb viewers claimed it to be real.
i read at wikipedia, that when she goes downstares it´s mike, who was standing there. before there were (on the beginning) a history about this children, who have to stand in a room, when nother child were killed, i know its crazy,(my english is horrible) and i think someone hit her when she fell... i hope you understand my english ;)
I'm very sorry to have to break this to some of the people here, but Superman, R2D2 and Shrek are also "fake". Also, Rocky Balboa was never actually the world champion, there is no place called Hogwarts, and Leonardo Dicaprio wasn't actually on the Titanic. Sorry. But it's time you knew the truth.
i didn't hate it when i saw it in 1999 but it's taken me until watching it recently to realise that it was actually a really really good movie, worthy of its cult status. i used to be annoyed that they lied and said it was true, because seeing it with that state of mind was horrifying. so it worked. great movie. :)
oh helllll fuckin no, u mean to tell me after all these years, this shit wasnt true?u gotta be kidding me that jus fucked up everything i think about true scary movie smh they coulda told somebody, thay never said itk was fake on tha damn dvd cover
Why would anyone in Hollywood dare try to release something that shows what ACTUALLY happened to 3 college students in the woods near Burkittsville Maryland? Who would do that? And why would anyone let them? Seemed real to me for a while.
LOL as I said, listen to the director and producer commentary, the story and mythology are fake, they were created strictly for this movie. how do I know this? I own the DVD and have listened to that commentary numerous times. looks like you should also
No script, camera control, lighting was awful, acting - - wasn't that the point? if you're trying to sell a movie as a documentary based on "found" footage of some kids in the woods, why would you have good production values? it would ruin the effect.
People, so what is fake? It was still a good movie. It was really well done, and it gave me the goosebumps. Is not something to watch in a movie theater though. Is more for tv. Blair Witch 2 bombed. It just failed.
i just simply can`t believe that people actually eat this marketing.and still talking about it after ten years.the makers of the movide did very good job with it`s marketing.respect for the masters of the mischief marketing.
im glad i stayed up all night and watched a documentry on the history channel about how they set the WHOLE thing up. its still one kick-ass movie though. I HATE old movies but The Blair Witch cept me at the edge of my seat(:

yes it is
it's definitely underrated

• Best Actress in a Leading Role
• Best Director
• Best Cinematography
• Best Picture
Are you insane?
@@deathbyslipknot no.
I agree! And They should win them all
Lmfao these people probably never seen films..
I agree! The "real footage" marketing gimmick was no different than The Texas Chain Saw Massacre or Fargo (both amazing films). This film is beyond amazing. Even today.
As an actor, his question about her “not really acting and being genuinely scared” was incredibly insulting. That girl acted her butt off!

savedfaves Totally.
Before Scary Movie, Quarantine.. And Paranormal Activity, there was the Blair Witch Project.
+Robin And before that exploitation/grind house films.
And before that, 120 Days Of Sodom.
They’re all called “found footage films”
Scary Movie wasn't handheld. It had exactly one scene where it lampooned Blair Witch. Not really a successor.
JackoBanon1 boiiii that movie is F U C K E D U P
her screamings were the highlights of the movie
She is so articulate and likable. love her
she still looks good today, saw her at Horrorfest in Dallas...
She's a cutie :)
She did an awesome job n the movie!
OMG! all my life I thought it was real.
No ! Please tell me you didn't.
We all did when we were kiddies.
The witch let her off work that weekend for some interviews, but her break is now over and she is back at work out in the woods. This is all third party info though, maybe the witches twitter got hacked? 😁
It is but the movie obviously isn't the real footage
That’s why the movie is golden
For her first time being on a talk show with one of the best Heather did awesome.
i just watched the blair witch project, i thought it was real and fealt bad for them

they were supposed to dissapeared in the woods well looks to me like they found em and their alive and well.
All 3 actors in "The Blair Witch Project" should have gotten Academy Award nominations
20 years ago... Omg!
i thought the movie was actually real until i did some research kinda disappointed

It is real. It's obviously based on true events
Always had a thing for her 😘

The did not get any money other than the original shoot. They got a ffing FRUIT BASKET when the movie surpassed 100mil
@killer09133 C'mon, the movie states that the three were never found but here she is alive and well doing interviews. What do you think?
Heather Donahue is no longer acting, she currently wrote a book about medical marijuana. I’m not kidding, look it up.

@@Jeffdraws101 I heard that each actor in the movie got a million dollars after movie was great success. very nice
she looks related to Renee Zellwegger but she's not.
Her acting was so good that it took me all my childhood and preteen years to realize the movie was fake and just really good acting.
I miss the 90's everthing was so much better, then it all went to shit after 2001. =/
Sure did. Technology is not a replacement for real life.
Saying it’s not acting is insulting man
That scene where something was banging against the tent made me jump out of my skin.
the movie is a fake but my question is the legend its truth or not
Emmanuel Reyes the legend is also a fake. It was made up to boost the popularity of the movie at the time
so blair witch proyect was a fake???
Calling it a curse is a lot more fun, especially since all curses can be broken one way or another :33 Sounds interesting
I'd go out with her.
She is excellence.

ugly as hell in blair witch, smokin' hot here
Well, if you cant have a shower in a week, your constantly scared in the middle of the woods Im sure you wouldnt look pretty xD
Great flick, really kicked off the genre of films like Cloverfield, [REC], etc, etc.
Classic.

I like to pretend i have no logic. It makes the magic seem real. I feel like believing it, and no matter what anyone says, i'll keep believing it until i get tired of it.
One day i'll look at it logically and say it's not possible. But for now let me stay in my own world where creatures like the Blair Witch exist in mysterious/creepy settings while killing people behind the scenes :P
@yakumin that's kinda what i think, in a way. I mean, i've learned over the years that no one, unless they're some sort of imaginative genius, can come up with a completely ORIGINAL idea. Everyone bases their ideas and such off of things that they've already heard of or seen before. This could be relative to the movie. Maybe the writer heard of something like this, and made such a film based off of it? Or maybe he really made an original idea.
No one but the writer knows for sure :\
I'm HONESTLY not exactly sure what i think of this...i'm reading everything online. When the movie came out, i was four. I only heard about the Blair Witch legend last year, honestly. And i heard about the Blair Witch Project YESTERDAY. At first, i honestly thought, "Wow, i wonder what happened to them." Then i went searching for videos. That's when i heard about the movie. So the question is: Was the movie just a movie, or was it really based off of a true event? Believe what you may.
Ok......i saw the movie 3 days ago and i have never heard that it was fake......i was convinced that it is real......now i feel like the biggest, stupidest, dumbest asshole in the world..........i just gotta say one more thing: All three of the actors deserve Oscars....i have never seen such acting in any of the movies i have seen in my life. And i have watched a lot of movies.....im just amazed by this whole thing..
for it to be really scary you have to put yourself in there shoes thinking what if that was me thats why i love this film it was really scary for 99, now its more of a cult classic i just like the direction it was going for people expected 90's horror which was horrible and got something better but just didn't get it, there needs to be more movies like this, thank god for Paranormal Activity
I've read alot of these comments on here and here's what I say to all of this.Yes this movie was not real, it says so at the end of the credits, though I dont think most people watch those lol.Secondly, the people who are trashing the people who thought it was real need to stop. Its not their fault the filmakers made it to look like it was real and if I may say that means the movie did what it was supposed to then.
im not sure im getting this ovie right. So it's just a movie, fine, but the directors not tell the actors what was going to happen? Heather and Craig talk like if the directors or whoever did stuff and the actors had to develop what they did or whatever. Could someone, who actually knows not just think that they know, explain this?
Thats what made this movie so scary... if you know true fear and terror... this movie was terrifying because you saw REAL FEAR. The first "reality entertainment" showed what happend when you take unsuspecting people put them on camera and mess with their head without them know about it.... THUS "REALITY TV WAS BORN"
It doesn't really say anything for sure. Maybe he just really likes the idea and wants to pursue it. Or maybe the 3rd one is to make up for the 2nd.
I kinda choose to believe it, just for the fun of it. I mean, if it's all fake, then that's really no fun at all. So, for my own enjoyment, i pretend it's real. I just hope one day everything will be made clear [[not likely :P]]
nobody claimed it claimed it to be real apart from the viewers, if anyone from the production team claimed it to be real then we would know it was a lie because if it we real there'd be no production team because they would be dead, sooo to sum it all up there is very little possiblity that anyone apart from some dumb viewers claimed it to be real.
i read at wikipedia, that when she goes downstares it´s mike, who was standing there.
before there were (on the beginning) a history about this children, who have to stand in a room, when nother child were killed, i know its crazy,(my english is horrible) and i think someone hit her when she fell... i hope you understand my english ;)
I'm very sorry to have to break this to some of the people here, but Superman, R2D2 and Shrek are also "fake".
Also, Rocky Balboa was never actually the world champion, there is no place called Hogwarts, and Leonardo Dicaprio wasn't actually on the Titanic.
Sorry. But it's time you knew the truth.
the story of blair witch was not made up? the legend, although just a legend, does exist. and so did Rustin Parr.
i didn't hate it when i saw it in 1999 but it's taken me until watching it recently to realise that it was actually a really really good movie, worthy of its cult status. i used to be annoyed that they lied and said it was true, because seeing it with that state of mind was horrifying. so it worked. great movie. :)
oh helllll fuckin no, u mean to tell me after all these years, this shit wasnt true?u gotta be kidding me that jus fucked up everything i think about true scary movie smh they coulda told somebody, thay never said itk was fake on tha damn dvd cover
Why would anyone in Hollywood dare try to release something that shows what ACTUALLY happened to 3 college students in the woods near Burkittsville Maryland?
Who would do that?
And why would anyone let them?
Seemed real to me for a while.
LOL as I said, listen to the director and producer commentary, the story and mythology are fake, they were created strictly for this movie. how do I know this? I own the DVD and have listened to that commentary numerous times. looks like you should also
No script, camera control, lighting was awful, acting

wasn't that the point? if you're trying to sell a movie as a documentary based on "found" footage of some kids in the woods, why would you have good production values? it would ruin the effect.
Talk show without P.C. forcing? No political bashing? Wow.
People, so what is fake? It was still a good movie. It was really well done, and it gave me the goosebumps. Is not something to watch in a movie theater though. Is more for tv. Blair Witch 2 bombed. It just failed.
i just simply can`t believe that people actually eat this marketing.and still talking about it after ten years.the makers of the movide did very good job with it`s marketing.respect for the masters of the mischief marketing.
im glad i stayed up all night and watched a documentry on the history channel about how they set the WHOLE thing up. its still one kick-ass movie though. I HATE old movies but The Blair Witch cept me at the edge of my seat(:
