The Blair Witch Project
In October of 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary called "The Blair Witch Project".
A year later their footage was found.
Man off camera: You look a little blurry. Let me zoom out okay?
Heather: Okay. Huh.
Man: Okay got you.
Heather: This is my home. Which I am leaving the comforts of, for the weekend. To explore the Blair Witch.
(Close up of pile of books)
Heather: Some essential reading. How To Stay Alive in the Woods, cause you never know what's going to happen.
(Picks up book)
Heather: And this is a very important book, because it has the article about what happened at Coffin Rock.
Man: That's pretty old.
Heather: Yeah it's totally old.
Heather: And this is my field notebook.
(Cuts to Joshes car)
Heather: Hey it's Mister Punctuality! How the hell are you this morning?
Josh: Tired. So I got the CP up.
Heather: Good. It's important, cause that's what were shooting on.
Josh: No one knows I have it, but I got it.
Heather: Alright, come on. Into the house.
(Circling each other with cameras.)
Heather: (laughing) I'm not going to bump into shit from the directors' chair. I don't want to fuck up the cameras before we leave. Hey! Nice camera man! All right I know I'm hitting the steps.
(Inside Heaters house, Josh looking tired with head down on table)
Josh: So where's Mikey at?
Heather: I have to go get him.
Josh: Okay.
Heather: Supposed to be there at 8:30.
Josh: Okay.
Heather: Which means we are already going to be behind schedule, but it's important to have juice.
Josh: That's cool.
Cut to outside Mike's house inside car.
Heather: I guess your Mike!
Josh starts to back away leaving mike on the doorstep.
Heather: (whisper) stop, stop, stop, stop.
Will we get to meet your Mamma?
Inside car.
Heather: How are you Mike? It's nice to meet you.
Mike: I'm doing good, and I'm very excited about this. Thank you for the opportunity.
Heather: Well thank you for getting the equipment together.

Girl: I guess. That actually sounds kind of familiar. My older sister went to Blair High School.
Heather: I wanna, I wanna get a little bit into here...
Josh: I want to go set this camera up over here.
Sets camera on nearby table shooting towards the crew
Heather: We are relatively tightly scheduled. So try to keep us moving. First we are going to area five. I cannot stress enough the importance of being on time.
Josh: First is the cemetery?
Heather: First is the cemetery.
Cut to cemetery Mike fiddling with gear
Josh: You guys wanna get the uh...ceremonial first slate?
Heather fixes makeup in cars rear view mirror
Heather: Absolutely.
Heather zooms around Josh
Heather: Here he is, filling out our first slate for our first shot.
Josh: Should we all like cut our fingers open and bleed on it? A little bloodletting on the slate?
Heather: No we'll save that for later. (Laughs nervously)
Josh: Kiss the slate. It's first slate.
Heather: First slate, marked by my lipstick.
Josh carries slate over to Mike
Josh: First slate, kiss it.
Mike bites down onto clacker part of slate
Heather: Awe he licked it, god bless him. Your not supposed to eat it, we need that for the rest of the shoot.
Cut to Welcome sign outside of Burkittsville
Heather: This is Burkittsville, formerly Blair. It is a small, quiet Maryland town.
Cuts to heather in cemetery
Much like a small town anywhere. No more then twenty families laid their roots here over two hundred years ago. Many of whom remain, either on this hill or in the town below.
There are an unusually high number of children laid to rest here.
Shots of various headstones
Most of whom passed in the 1940's. Yet no one in the town seems to recall anything unusual about this time. To us anyway. Yet legend tells a different story. One whose evidence is all around us, etched in stone.
In joshes car
Heather: Yeah! Yeehaww! Well we have shot the first scene! The cemetery scene, the opening is shot!
Josh shows a handful of ruined and crumpled 16mm film to camera.
Heather: Ahh this is our salad.
Josh: This is our souvenir.
Heather: Yes this is our souvenir from our very first shot, of our very first scene on 16 millimeter. And we are proud of this salad.
Cut to man in general store
Heather: We are making a documentary, about the Blair Witch.
Man: (smiles) Oh?
Heather: Oh, have you heard of the Blair Witch?
Man: Oh yeah, that's an old, old, old story.

Man: I remember Mister Parr was an old hermit.
Heather: Right.
Man: He lived up on the mountain, he had a place up there and had been up there for a long, long time.
Cut to woman with baby.
Heather: You've heard of the Blair Witch?
Woman: Several times.
Heather: Several times, and what was the first incidence?
Woman: Well I'd heard stories about her from people and neighbors and stuff like that. But also I saw a documentary on the Discovery Channel or something like that once, about her, about ghosts and legends in Maryland.
Cut back to man
Man: Sorta in the winter I guess that followed. In the winter of 1940. Ahh some of the young kids started disappearing. Nobody, nobody knew anything about why they were disappearing.
Cut back to woman
Woman: But the creepy
Woman is cut off by baby putting hand over woman's mouth
Heather: Uh oh that's an omen.
Woman: Haha, the creepiest story I'd heard about her, was that two men were out hunting near the uh, cabin or something that she's supposed to haunt. And they dissapeard off the face of the earth.
Baby grows more agitated
Baby: No! No! No!
Woman: It's all right Ingrid, I'm just telling a scary story, but it's not true.
Woman: (mouths) It's true.
Cut back to man
Man: Finally one day, old Mister Parr comes down into the market and said "I'm finally finished."
Heather: And what did he mean by that?
Man: Well I guess nobody knew at first but the police finely went up on the mountain and they searched his house and they found the bodies of seven kids from the area, and those were the seven kids who were missing. And then they brought them out of the woods one at a time. And it was just a terrible thing, just tore the whole community up.
Back to woman
Woman: Well their wives apparently went looking for them and they found their campsite. The fire was still burning. The deer that they had hunted that was being in the process of being gutted. It looked like someone was still working there and camping there and all that. The men were no where to be found. Their clothes were there. Everything was there.
Heather: But they never found them?
Woman: They never found them there.
Cut to girl in Diner
Girl: All my life I've believed in witches or ghosts and stuff.
Heather: But you believe there are some in this area?
Girl: Oh defiantly.
Cut to old man on street
Heather: Do you believe in witchcraft?
Old Man: Nope!
Heather: No?
Old Man: No sir.
Heather: Are you a religious man?
Old Man: Yep.
Heather: Alrighty.
Back to woman with baby -put in other parts
Woman: Pretty creepy stuff. I believe there is something happening with her.
Heather: Do you think its possible that she is still up there now?
Woman: I don't go up there.
Heather: You don't go up there?
Woman: Yeah I believe enough to not go up there. (Laughs)
Cut back to first man
Man: They say that the woods are all haunted up there and stuff like that.
Heather: What do they say? How are they haunted?
Man: Well there really isn't many people that say it's haunted, but there was this old woman by the name of Mary Brown.
Heather: Mary Brown? Hmm.
Man: Yeah and she was kinda crazy.
Heather: How was she seen by the community?
Man: Crazy.

I was lying down on the leaves, upon the leaves, kinda watching the pool and looking up at the sky. And all of the sudden it felt like somthin was near me. You know kinda a eerie feeling. It was like a woman! Only on her arms and on her hands it was like a hair. It was real dark almost black hair. Almost like a horse.
Heather: Like fur?
Mary: Yeah like a fur, like a horse fur. And her arms, she had like a shawl, a wool shawl over her.
Heather: And she scared you? She threatened you?
Mary: And um...she didn't' say anything, but she kept staring and then she opened up her shawl. And under it there was hair on her body like a horse.
Heather: So she was hairy from head to toe?

Heather: There it is. See?
Cuts to Heather on top of coffin rock.
Heather: (clacks slate picks up "The Blair Witch Cult" book struggles to find her place and begins reading)
Heather: They went into the woods prepared to find death, what they found was a desecration to humanity. At the site which trappers have often refereed to as Coffin Rock. On top of the rock formation, the story of the torture inflicted upon these brave five men unfolded. Each was bound to the other. Each mans hands bound to the next mans feet, forming a solid structure out of the men. Blood at the edge of the hedges had indicated that this act had been committed while each was alive and able bodied enough to struggle. In the torso of each man the intestines had been torn out crudely. On each mans sun bleached face was inscribed with indecipherable writing cut into their flesh with an eerie precision. The men still entranced by the horror of what had happened, left the scene to tell the sheriff what had happened and did not sketch the writing and did not remove the bodies from the rock. Upon return vultures were seen at the rock, but upon inspection the bodies had been removed by persons unknown. The search party clamed that the stench of death was still thick. And whom ever took the bodies had done so in a matter of hours.
That happened here, at Coffin Rock.
Cuts to Heather looking at watch
Heather: I felt really rushed, cause I really want to get to camp and its 4:52. We're going to be loosing light soon.

Cuts to Mike playing with stick stuck in the ground
Heather: ...video camera, what a lie! It's poring rain right now; we can't even get a fire going.
Heather: Show the kids at home what the stick is for!
Mike shifts, leans tall and rests his arm on the stick
Heather: Look at that.
Cuts to night inside tent
Josh: You get too much ass smell just...
Heather: Okay, who wouldn't let me have a cigarette in the tent but he's aloud to fart as much as he wants?
Josh: I never gave Mike any fart allowance.
(Laughs)
Cuts to morning
Heather: So you heard noises last night? See the problem is I sleep like a fucking rock.
Josh: (yawns) there were two separate noises coming from two layers of spacer over here. And one of them was like. One of them possibly could have been an owl, but the other one was like a cackling.
Heather: No way.
Josh: It was a total cackle.
Mike: If I heard a cackling I would have shit in my pants.
Cuts to crew looking at map, Josh filming

Josh points camera at Mike
Josh: Would that be a full of shit statement?
Mike nods

Heather: I don't know.
Josh: Do you think she exists?
Heather: I don't know.
Cuts to crew hiking

Mike: We like level shortcuts, we don't' like mountiness short cuts.
Cuts to close up of Mike's naked chest
Heather: It's a little warmer today. This is the first time we've seen Mike's chest. All right it's really hard to pick up on video actually. Mike has really spuratic hair patterns on his chest. It's like blank, harry, blank harry.

Mike: What?
Heather: 90 minutes. Can you hang...?
Josh: As long as you know where were going.
Heather: I know exactly where were going.
Cuts to Josh looking at map
Heather: I suppose its necessary to look at the map, even though I know where were going. And were going straight ahead up there.
Mike: If you know where were going we wouldn't be hiking like...
Josh: Were in the middle of the fucking woods.
Heather: Some of it is off trail hiking!
Mike: Because people told you, oh yeah there's a cemetery back there!
Mike: Were lost. Admit that first!
Heather: I know were not lost!
Mike: Oh and you knew that yesterday too, and you know that twice today!
Heather: Look! No! Bullshit! And we have not been lost at all today! Not once, I know where were going!
Mike: Let me tell you what you told us. "Its like two hours away." Then it's like, three hours, maybe four hours away.
Heather: Did you agree to do this project?
Mike: I did! I agreed to a scouted out project! I didn't think we'd be running around in the woods...
Heather: It is scouted out!
Mike: I've got fifteen hundred dollars worth of equipment on me!
Josh: Guys! Guys! It's cool, it's cool. Please, your being a smart-ass and your being a smart-ass. Were, were just looking at the map using it the best we can. I can totally find this. This is where we were and we are going more or less this way.
Cuts to Mike holding map
Josh: Okay, what's your call. Where do you think we're going?
Mike: I'll tell you the truth. This is like; this is Greek to me. It's useless.
Heather: Right. Exactly.
Mike: So I am putting my ah trust in you that you know where it is.
Heather: Good.
Mike: Although I, I gotta tell you I don't fully trust you. And I....ah I'm not going to say it.
Heather: What?
Mike: Nothing, I don't understand why you have to have every conversation on video?
Heather: Because I'm making a documentary.
Mike: Not about us getting lost! We're making a documentary about a Witch!
Heather: I have a camera. It doesn't hurt, because I'm sure we'll look back at this and laugh heartily.
Cuts to Josh crossing stream on fallen log
Mike: Baby steps man, baby steps.
Heather: Just breathe and don't look down maybe? No you gotta look down.
Mike: You gonna have to crawl?
Josh: I'm going to crawl.
Mike: Cool.
Heather: Think about how fucking cool the cemetery is going to be when we get there. Think of the joy of being in a really good film!
Josh: Please be quiet!
Heather: Okay I'm quiet. Shit how am I going to do this?
Josh finishes crossing and stands up
Josh: Okay, Mikey?
Mike: Yeah.
Josh: There's no way your coming across. You'll have to get down on your belly.
Mike: No way man.
Josh: There's no chance. It's too fucking hard.
Heather: How are we going to get the DAT across then?
Josh: With the moss it's slippery as shit.
Heather: How will we get the DAT across?
Josh: I don't know, lemme get off here and get my pack off.
