When The Blair Witch Project came out in the Summer of 1999, I was working in a movie theater as a concessionist. I started in the summer after graduating high school as the theater was new plus they realized how understaffed they were when they opened with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I remember the year pretty damn distinctly. There was one film that I kept my eye on, being the horror fan that I was, I knew that a film that was being touted as “scary as hell” was coming out late summer. I expressed my interest of horror films to my co-workers upon meeting them so by the time the hype train for The Blair Witch Project started rolling into the station, people were asking me about it. All I could tell them was the information that I had read from Entertainment Weekly, message boards and IRC chats I frequented.
