HAS any1 GONE to THE WOODS alone, pitched up a tent, waited until night then watched the blair WITCH ON DVD?

Question

recovering well...

Answer 1

I use a hammock. I leave the DVD player at home. I have enough weight in my backpack already.

Answer 2

No, never tried it but I didn't find the Blair witch project scary at all even with the added effect of going in the woods, pitching a tent and watching the DVD. As long as I have company and not alone then its ok. I'd be more scared of wild animal wanting to eat me or (possibly poisonous) little creepy crawlies

Answer 3

I have spent many nights alone in the woods. Most of the time it was intentional. I have gotten disoriented (I hate the word "LOST") a few times and spent unscheduled nights under the stars. I have seen all the critters most folks fear but all this occurred well before DVDs or the Blair Witch were ever dreamed of. Add to that I am not a horror fan and I probably wouldn't have if it had been available.

Answer 4

I actually have, and it scared the hell out of me. A small group of us did it a couple years ago.

And, incidentally, I'm not sure what the deal is with all the Blair Witch haters out there - it's a horror movie folks. If you didn't like it, cool - but would you puh-leez tone down the slams on people who did?

I found the movie to be genuinely frightening - and I grew up in the forests of remote New Hampshire. No, I don't think it was real - and no-one ever DID seriously claim it was real. Did you think Freddy Kreuger was real? Michael Myers? Get with it, folks, and lighten up.

Answer 5

Watching the Blair witch at home was a trial in itself by far one of the most hyped films ever to curse my DVD player OK ! If you like films about a bunch of stoners running about in the woods with a 1970,s vid cam screaming about nothing at all seen some terrible films in my time but that was one of the worse ever the only thing that I thought was spooky about the film was how did they manage to keep the vid cam battery charged ? did not see any power points in the woods !

Answer 6

I've actually GONE to a city called Blair and watched it in the forest. (we have a camper though not a tent) The movie, initially, didn't creep me out or anything but watching it THERE at night did.

Answer 7

No I havent and I doubt that even such elaborate preparations would make the film scary at all. I think the Blair Prime Minister is more scary than the Blair witch.

Answer 8

No, but back, in Borneo, where I first lived, we lived in a gated community but every road was pitch black. Well ok not that dark, they were lights but not as bright...but everytime my friends and I pass this empty lot (filled with trees and plants) in our street, riding a tricycle, we would always hear this rattling noise and cracking stick sound. We hear it averytime we pass it at night. Even the other people who lives in our street calims that they hear it. Even the driver of the tricycle would start paddling faster. Some say before the community was constructed, there were people who practiced magic in the empty lot. My parents said that there was like a dark priestess that killed people because she needed their ears for her potion or something....

But now that we've moved here to the States,...I don't really care anymore. lol

Answer 9

that movie was the biggest hoax that i have seen since the bigfoot video.

I live in Western maryland about 25 minutes from Burketsville.
there is nothing in thoes woods. i have been fishing at twilight off of the so called "Coffin rock". and there is Nowhere and i do mean Nowhere in this area where you can walk for 3 days and not find something that will lead you back to civilization. from every mountain top you can see a town,city, farm, or road.

Answer 10

I agree with PiperJoe...it was merely a horror movie...a horror movie that broke records. I distinctly remember the watercooler chat and the people that all thought it was real, until the clever actors appeared on the Tonight Show. There was a mass tourism influx to the Burkettsville area, with all kinds of crazy on lookers, and locals selling stick figures. I believe this movie holds the record for the highest grossing movie with the lowest production cost. Next in line is Halloween (the first one). Yeah...it's easy to scoff in the aftermath. But if you were honest, most of you would admit, we were duped. lol.

Answer 11

Why? I spend a lot of time alone in the Canadian north woods, camping. I've seen Blair Wtich and was deeply unimpressed. For a work of fiction, they really let the viewers down at the end. Great ad campaign though.

Hardly a scary movie.
