Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) - full transcript
To cash in on all of the "real world" hype of the events in the first film, a man from Burkitsville, Maryland opens a "Blair Witch Hunt" tour, which shows patrons various locations from the original film. A bunch of college students decide to take the tour, and wind up in Rustin Parr's house. There, they decide to camp for the evening, but in the morning, they realize they didn't sleep and they don't remember anything that happened the previous night. From there, they go back to town, and discover that something...or someone has come with them.
( Screaming )
Josh!
Hi, I'm Kurt Loder
with MTV news.
The film is "The Blair Witch
Project"...
Critics have called it one of the
scariest films of all time...
I was terrified.
Oh, it scared me to death...
It all starts out lighthearted
as three documentary filmmakers
armed with a 16mm camera
and a video camcorder
head into the black hills
forests of Maryland
to make a movie
about a legendary witch.
And they're never
heard from again.
There's no doubt
about the box office success
of "The Blair Witch Project,"
what's not clear, though,
is whether the "Blair Witch"
legend is true.
"Blair Witch" fans are not only
flocking to the multiplex,
they're flooding the little
town of Burkittsville, Md.
People have started coming
to Burkittsville
as if it were
Charles Manson's Spahn ranch,
or ed the serial killer's
house to visit. A haunted place.
And Burkittsville
isn't a haunted place.
It's a place that a fictional
movie was set in.
I wasn't able to see the movie
when it first came out,
because I was...
In the hospital,
but as soon as they let me out,
I was at the movie theater
17 times in a row.
- The web site really sold me.
- Yeah.
The web site... you know,
has all these police photos,
and official police things,
and all this information,
and you really believe it.
Our stick men sold so well
on the Internet,
that we started selling them
in the front yard,
them somebody came by
to buy them, and wanted rocks.
So we went out back and got
rocks out of my rock garden,
I didn't want to get rid of them
so the guy offered me $10
after he started
booting it up more.
His wife really wanted them,
so we sold them to him.
We sold some rocks on the
Internet, but not as much,
because it costs too much
to ship a rock.
Everybody that comes to town
just goes by like this...
I'm so used to being videoed.
I make sure, if I go to my car,
or out to get the paper,
that I at least
have full makeup on,
you know, and a great nightgown.
I wish that they'd used
a fictitious town.
And possibly thought ahead
toward what type
of repercussions
could come from using
the word, "documentary"
in their advertising,
and on their web site.
Get out of these woods,
and go home!
There was no
goddamn Blair Witch!
You know, there are
a lot of naysayers
who come and say nay,
but then, there are
a lot of supporters
who come up to my town,
and come up to me...
Do you know what they do?
They run up, they stop...
Hey, Selena... they come over
to me, and they hug me,
and say, "dude, I know
it's real,"
and they squeeze me,
and I squeeze them back,
and I say, "I know
it's real, too, man,"
and we have a bond, you know?
We have a connection.
So, I say, "I know,
and they go, "I know, man."
And I go, "I know."
( Screaming )
You thinking you're a wise ass?
I didn't do anything wrong!
Enough!

They found blood in the van.
Woman: Could you turn
that down just a hair?
Man: I'm just trying to set
the mood for the mission.
I know, and that's
awfully sweet,
but I feel like I'm gonna toss.
She's been feeling
a little queasy.
No need to explain,
concern. Fort is my
ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
for Mr. Stephen
Ryan Parker
who has three names,
so he must be from Boston.
Apparently he's here
researching a book,
with his girlfriend.
The book's title is...
"The Blair Witch...
History, or hysteria?"
"Hysteria,
or history?"
Why is it you guys can't get
on the same page
about the witch, anyway?
We've always been misunderstood.
We embrace nature, not evil.
Thank you, Erica.
( Erica laughing )
Not only a hottie,
but a real witch.
Blessed be.
Wiccan...
Wicc it good.
( Laughing )
Stephen: Wait... why
are we slowing down?
Jeff: This is where your other
tourmate asked us to meet her.
She's a little weird.
She thinks she's psychic
or some shit.
When's the last time
you talked to her?
E-mail,
two days ago.
Are you sure she didn't
change her mind?
Yeah...
Kim!
- Kim? Kim!
- Yo.
Is that her?
Kim?
- Yeah.
- I'm Jeff.
I figured.
What are you doing there?
Trying to find the energy.
Inside the grave?
To stand up.
I'm exhausted. I've been
on the road for two days.
- Want a hand?
- I want amphetamines.
Weed is what I've got,
beer I'm gonna get.
Both... now.
Jeff:
That's right, friends,
for two luxurious
days and nights,
my friends, you will walk
the same path
the witch herself once walked.
Sleep on the same soil
where her victims' blood
was spilled.
Possibly losing your own souls
in the process.
And I want to thank you all
for coming
on the inaugural tour
of "The Blair Witch Hunt."
"Inaugural"?
You mean you've never
done this before?
- Never.
- That's not what your web site said.
"Over 10,000
satisfied customers."
No, that's my web store.
Stick me, t-shirts,
official Blair dirt.
Tours...
We're all virgins on this bus!
Here?
You drove by a Safeway
two Miles back.
That was in Burkittsville.
I don't shop in Burkittsville
I don't even piss there.
Kim:
Hell of a town you got here.
What century are they living in?
Yeah, the gene pool
is a little shallow here.
Dive in, you'll crack your skull open.
Jeff:
Okay.
So, where are we going first?
The ruins
if Rustin Parr's house.
Erica: That guy who heard
the voices to kill, right?
Jeff:
Yeah, seven little kids were.
Kim:
Man, I hear voices all the time.
( Cracking )
Do we need all this shit
for a walk in the woods?
"The Blair Witch Hunt"
provides all amenities
while you risk certain death
and dismemberment.
- Give it up.
- What's with this camera?
To record all occult phenomena
that may manifest itself
in the course of the tour.
Damn... you're really running
"bullshit central," aren't you?
If you don't believe
in the Blair Witch,
then why the hell
did you bother to come?
I thought the movie was cool.
- How much further?
- A couple more Miles.
Jesus.
- How far along are you?
- What do you mean?
The baby.
How many weeks?
Six.
You don't want
to keep it, do you?
No.
But Stephen wants the baby.
Yes.
How did you know?
I don't know.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Jeff: Welcome to the Parr
ruins, ladies and gentlemen.
It's supposed to be where
they found Heather's footage.
These markings are incredible.
Erica: Ancient
witches' alphabet.
Stephen: Looks like
recent graffiti to me.
Tristen: They're so realistic.
It's a little scary.
Actually, some of these
symbols are quite positive.
Only those who don't
understand witchcraft
would be afraid of them.
And remember, fear...
Is the forerunner of failure.
Okay.
What's the story with this tree?
What tree?
Look behind you.
Jeff: Where the fuck
did this come from?
This was never here before.
- Nice try, dude.
- What does that mean?
Maybe you should
drop the tree bit
from your next tour.
No, no, I'm not making this up.
- I need a beer.
- Me, too.
Hey, geniuses, explain to me...
Why a house built in 1826
was built around a tree.
This would have been
sticking straight up
through the living room.
Jeff, nobody's scared.
( Screaming )
"Evil intent in the ground,"
may a release soon be found.
"In peace, release the energy
that be through my magic."
Are you casting some kind
of evil spell?
Reversing the evil.
The first law of Wicca
is, "harm none,"
'cause whatever you do,
is going to come back
at you threefold.
The karma's a bitch.
What are you really doing?
- Communing with Elly Kedward.
- The Blair Witch?
I thought you embraced
nature, not evil.
You don't understand.
Elly...
Was a good witch.
She was an earth child, like me.
She's gonna be my mentor.
- You've spoken with her?
- Not yet...
But I will.
That's why I'm here.
To shed my mortal coil...
And commune with Elly.
Tristen: Have you ever
seen her picture?
I don't think there are any.
Stephen and I found one.
Check it out.
We think it was drawn before
they banished her from Blair.
"Banished," my ass.
They dragged her into the woods
in the middle of winter,
and tied her to a tree to die.
You make her sound helpless.
I thought witches
could summon powerful energy.
We can...
But we still have to eat, shit,
and die like the rest of you.
We just look good doing it.
What do you need
all these cameras for?
I'm personally hoping
for an Elly Kedward sighting.
I've got a big beta
for a quality master,
I got a night vision,
I got an infrared,
a cute little mini dv,
handhelds for everyone...
This baby can even do
frame-a-second time lapse.
If anything comes in for
a visit, we'll catch it.
May I have permission
to take this leaf?
Thank you.
Erica: "Evil intent
in the ground",
"may your release soon be found."
"And peace release the energy
that be from my magic."
"Evil intent in the ground,"
"may your release soon be found."
"And peace release the energy
that be for my magic."
Stephen:
Okay, wait...
How many Heather Donahues
does it take
- to screw in a light bulb?
- How many?
( Screaming )
Just one!
( Laughter )
Just one of them!
Do you know what I could
never figure out?
What's that?
"Blair Witch Project"...
Two guys and a girl,
sleeping in the same tent...
Night after night, and no sex?
- It makes no sense.
- You're so right.
I mean, they were scared
out of their minds,
and the greatest stress reliever
right at their fingertips...
And nothing.
I'm a little stressed.
Try some more weed.
Okay.
The Bermuda triangle.
It's a place in the world
that's been created
by hysteria.
By people's own psychology,
by their own ideas of the place.
We were already
a persecuted minority.
This whole "Blair Witch" thing
set us back 300 years.
It's like we're back
in the burning times.
Just totally
fucked up our image.
Erica, people fear
what they don't understand.
- You've gotta realize that.
- No shit. People think...
That I drink blood,
that I sacrifice children.
That I worship the devil
just because I'm a wiccan.
Where I come from, people think
because I dress in black,
I'm some kind of sick
killer or something.
I don't even believe
in the devil.
That's a Christian concept.
I believe in nature.
I hate nature.
Myth... for me, right?
Is just myth.
It's not history,
it's not even metaphor,
and it's definitely
not the truth...
Stephen, stories
like this happen
because they exist
in a place of truth.
There's historical evidence,
there's fact.
That's what you
don't understand.
Jeff:
I want to make a film.
"Wicca...
A way of life."
- Nice.
- Yeah.
Wait, wait...
Check this out.
Look at everyone.
Everyone is obsessed
with the Blair Witch...
For their own reasons,
including us.
"Goth...
A way of life."
A documentary on you.
All real, all video.
Video never lies, Kim.
Film does, though.
Everyone wants to see something.
I'm telling ya,
hysteria and delusions,
they breed in situations
like this.
Why are you applying rational
thought to mythology?
Because if people believe
something enough, isn't it real?
If people believe something
enough, isn't it real?
"Perception
is reality."
You're not listening to me.
Babe, I know what you're saying,
I just think it's bullshit.
I think you're being
a monomaniacal reductionist.
( Eerie shrieking )
What the hell was that?
I heard that, too.
"Burkittsville's
funniest home videos!"
You scared the shit
out of me, man!
It answered every single one
of your wet dreams.
What the hell are you
guys doing here?
We've got a tour group,
"The Blair Witch Walk."
What's your excuse?
Tour group...
"The Blair Witch Hunt"!
I don't believe this.
You're supposed to look out
for stuff like this.
This is so not happening!
We have jurisdiction here.
We have permits.
Oh, yeah?
From cravens?
Bullshit.
Let me see 'em.
- Bullshit!
- They're in the car.
Bullshit!
Rival:
Let's put it this way...
One of us is staying tonight...
It's gonna be us or you,
and it looks like us,
you little bitch!
It's gonna come back at you
threefold, man.
- What's she saying?
- In the wiccan tradition...
Shut up!
Your balls will fall off
in three days!
Yo, guys...
I think I can settle this.
Just give us till dawn,
and then we're out of here.
We're cold, we're tired...
And we're a little shook up.
We saw something
up at coffin rock today.
Yeah...
Yeah, up at coffin rock.
It scared the shit out of us.
Guys, stop talking about it,
because I am gonna freak.
I just want to go home.
Can we see this thing...
"coffin rock"?
Whatever.
It's your money, Greta.
Next time, you guys take
the "Blair Witch Walk."
Next time, take "The Blair
Witch Hunt." Here's my card.
Call me.
I'm on the web.
( Giggling )
"They were never seen again."
Their footage was found
a year later...
Underexposed, and useless.
I don't trust that these
assholes aren't coming back.
They're going to be pissed
that we took the foundation.
I don't think it's
anything to worry about.
Besides...
We're gonna be up
all night, baby!
( Howling )
Giddy-up!
We'll just keep our eyes open.
They're not coming back.
Why do you think that?
I just do.
Kim:
Back in a minute.
Up all night!
How do your parents feel...
About having a witch
for a daughter?
My father is...
An episcopal minister,
in a one church town
back in Munnsville, Illinois.
Yeah.
That's a bummer.
How many beers is that for you?
I'm serious! You're drinking
like a freakin' fish!
I just think you should
take care of yourself.
Jesus! We've already
gone through this today.
( Man screaming )
( Baby crying )
What's going on?
What the fuck...?
This is my work.
This is all my research.
Our work.
Every word.
Where the fuck are my cameras?
Stephen: This is all
of our goddamn work!
How the hell are we
gonna make the deadline?
We backed it up on the computer.
No, Tristen,
the computer's just notes.
Half this shit
is original documents.
Where the hell was everybody?
We were all supposed
to be awake.
Guys, where's Erica?
I'm right here.
We must have fallen asleep.
"Asleep"?
It's like we must have
blacked out!
The last thing I remember
was that other tour group.
Yeah...
Those fucking dickweeds!
Who else could it
have been, huh?
They came back from coffin rock,
and ripped us off!
Kim:
"Ripped"?
These things look
like they were bit off!
I... what am I
gonna do?
At least the tapes
are still here.
What?
The tapes...
They're here.
But where?
Do you see them?
In my mind, I see them.
Oh, Jesus.
You fucker.
They're there!
Where they "found"
the "Blair Witch" tapes?
You've got to be kidding me.
Come on. Why would
they be in there?
News flash, everybody...
That was just a movie.
I don't know why, Stephen.
They're under the rocks.
There's nothing in there.
Reach inside.
Well...?
I don't feel so hot.
Jeff, is there
anything in there?
Erica:
Jesus Christ.
How did those get in there?
Are they yours?
I think we should leave.
How did you know?
- I don't know.
- Are they yours?
Did you put them
in there? Did you?!
- Jeff, are they your tapes?
- Yeah, they're my tapes!
Then, why are they still here?
Why is the equipment trashed,
the cameras are gone,
but the tapes are still here?
Stephen:
She's right, Jeff.
Wouldn't those guys want
to fuck up your tour footage?
Stephen, I want to leave.
How did this happen?
Oh, fuck...!
Jesus Christ, the baby.
We found blood in the van.
Tristen had a miscarriage.
You know that, cravens.
She bled in the van
on the way to the hospital.
This girl's hypothermic.
Get me heating blankets
and a lamp.
How did she get so cold?
It's like she's been
sitting in ice water.
No, we were just camping.
Cravens: The doctor
thinks it's hypothermia.
Of course, the way I see it...
You're the one
that brought her out here.
You took her into those woods.
She's your responsibility.
Are you charging me
with something?
You have been...
A pain in this town's ass
since you were 10.
You need to learn
to stay out of trouble, boy.
It makes you defensive...
Anxious.
Last thing you need
is to end up
back in the looney bin.
How is she?
She lost the baby.
Nurse: The doctor wants
to keep you here
until your temperature
stabilizes.
You lost a lot of blood.
More than usual.
It's for the best.
Your body was telling you
something was wrong.
Something was wrong.
( Screaming )
How are you feeling?
I'm not staying here.
Stephen: Five hours of our
lives are unaccounted for.
I want to see those tapes.
I want to know what
happened last night.
I've got some cool editing
equipment at my house.
We should be able
to come up with some answers.
We're still in the black
hills, aren't we?
Yeah, right up there.
Let's get Tristen inside.
Take care of the bags later.
I thought we were going
to your house.
Yeah.
R.F.D. 431...
Jericho mills, home.
Stephen: What did it used to be?
It was an old factory
after the civil war.
They were going to tear it down,
but I talked them into
selling it to me for a buck.
Erica:
Cool.
Sorry about the bridge...
It's the only way in or out.
It's pretty safe...
Don't lean on the railings.
Cravens:
I am not...
A gambling man.
But...
I would bet my entire...
Retirement pension...
That the blood in the van...
Is going to match
those tourists.
You've been looking
to pin something on me
since I was a kid.
( Dogs barking )
Come on, get in, quick.
Before they eat you.
Come on.
Quick, quick.
Let's go.
( Barking )
( Barking stops )
( Resumes )
Burkitt county's
cheapest burglar alarm.
And what's that do?
Squirt water?
Oh, no...
That actually works.
Wave.
It's recording you right now.
I got 'em hooked up
through the whole building.
What can I say?
I'm a little paranoid.
Hah!
"A little"?
I heard that.
But with good reason.
I got a lot
of valuable stuff here.
Oh, my God.
Kim:
Yeah.
You wouldn't want
somebody to come in here,
and steal a bunch of stuff
that you've already stolen.
Where it comes from originally
is none of my business,
nor should it be yours.
I just like to pass
the savings on to others.
Really?
And how do you do that?
E-bay.
Buying, selling, trading,
swapping.
I'm a major player.
Thought all your cameras
got trashed, Jeff.
Well...
You can never have too many.
Jeff, I think we've had
enough videotaping
for one weekend.
Yeah, dude.
Tour's over.
Jeff: Maybe the tour
has just begun, Erica.
Because you're walking
into the official Blair store.
Come in, everybody.
This is where it all begins.
This is the epicenter
of the "Blair Witch Hunt"
web site.
Let's see now,
I got my sticks...
You can touch these,
they're for the stick men,
don't touch those,
those are drying.
What else...?
Jeff, did you collect these
all in the black hills?
Yeah, every single twig.
Over here we got
a rock formation...
Oh, my God, who made that?!
Oh... I did,
earlier.
We've got Parr ruins
foundation dirt,
that's a big item.
I sell that.
T-shirts
and sweat shirts,
and hats.
Here you go, Tristen.
That's for you. Gratis.
I feel better.
You're as big an asshole
as the rest of them.
What are you
talking about, Erica?
This stuff is hot.
This is what the wiccan
religion really needs, Jeff.
More capitalism
based on fear and lies.
Do you really think it's fair
to exploit our culture...
Just to sell stick figure
key chains?
I think this place
is cool, Jeff.
Thanks.
Jeff, we're tired
I should get her to bed.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Let's see...
The stairs by the kitchen
lead to my editing loft,
the bedroom on the
right is mine,
it's got the biggest bed
and it's own John,
but you guys can take it.
- Thanks, brother.
- Sure.
Sleep well.
The rest of the bedrooms
are down the hallway.
Hey...
I really appreciate
the hospitality,
but, take me off
your mailing list.
Okay.
They should have
never let you out.
You're a long way from sane.
Tristen:
I saw something
at the hospital.
What?
It was just like
the picture you showed me
in the Blair Witch black Bible.
The same clothes,
that same face,
like...
She'd been drowned.
Who?
The little girl.
Eileen treacle.
Sweetie...
Why don't we talk about this
after you get some sleep?
I want to talk about it now.
You need to sleep.
You're in shock.
This is so...
Intense.
Chill out, Erica. We've
watched half of one tape.
We've got four angles,
we've got our handhelds,
we've got hours of tapes
we haven't seen.
Last night...
When we were camping...
I dreamt I hurt the baby.
That's just because
we've been fighting
about it so much.
You've been through a lot.
I know how much
you wanted that baby.
I'm sorry I didn't want it.
I'm sorry that I lost it.
Guys, something
just occurred to me.
Where's that tree?
Kim:
What?
That big tree that was
in the middle of the foundation.
Now there's just this tiny twig.
See, guys, I told you there was
something up with that tree.
Hand me another
of those dv cassettes.
Maybe there's another angle.
Whoa, whoa...
What is up with that?
I don't know.
I think it's chafing
- from the backpack.
- Does it hurt?
Not really.
It just kind of itches.
It's nothing.
Here.
- What was that?
- What?
Rewind it.
What did you see?
I'm not sure.
A flash, or something.
Coffin rock.
What?
Coffin rock.
How the hell
do you see coffin rock?
Can you see in other dimensions?
I don't know.
That's what it reminds me of.
Those guys that were
murdered there...
In 1886, after they were gutted,
their heads were arranged
in the shape of a pentagram...
Like that.
The great American pastime,
blame it on a witch.
Jeff: Let me see if I can
get that image back.
Tristen:
Stephen!
Erica: Is she gonna be okay?
I don't know.
Stephen!
Tristen?
Tristen?
( Sobbing outside )
( Barking alarm )
Shut up.
Girl's voice: You brought
it back with you!
( Shriek )
Tristen:
What was all that?
That was Jeff's
stupid dog alarm.
The crying.
You heard that, too?
In my dreams.
I though I was having
this horrible nightmare.
About what?
Children...
Looking up my skirt...
As I twirled 'round
and 'round...
So I hurt them.
Stephen, what the hell
is wrong with me?
Nothing.
Nothing.
You're just...
Look, there are...
Rational explanations
behind this.
Behind everything
that's going on.
I think we need to go home.
I'll get someone
to drive us to the airport...
Not yet.
Why?
Just not yet.
I need to understand
what happened.
You can understand it
on the plane ride home.
Here.
Take these.
Take them.
They'll help you sleep.
Come on, take them!
You're not making
a believer out of me, son.
It was an accident.
I swear to Christ,
it was an accident.
- Jesus.
- Whoa.
What the hell was that?
I'm not sure.
See that?
Whoa, wait. Look.
Time code goes
from 1:32 A.M...
To 3:57 A.M...
Back to 1:32 A.M.
In the middle of the footage?
How does that happen?
I don't know...
But those were the hours
that we fell asleep.
Can you make it bigger,
or slow it down?
Let me try slowing it down.
Ladies and gentlemen,
that is a naked woman.
What is a naked woman doing
swinging around a tree?
Are we sure these are our tapes?
I'm not sure of anything
in the last 24 hours.
Let me try re-digitizing
this footage
at a higher resolution
so I can blow it up.
This will take a few minutes.
I need alcohol.
Caffeine.
Caffeine?
Sure.
I live to serve.
Ugh... great.
Stale coffee,
no beer,
some old take-out
chicken...
But plenty of batteries.
Hey...
What's going on?
We're leaving in the morning.
Really?
It's...
Tristen.
She's in bad shape.
This whole thing
has really fucked her up.
How come you're the one
who looks like
he's having a breakdown?
Look... I'm a little tense,
all right?
Sorry.
No, I am...
Sorry.
I just feel like my whole life's
been turned upside down
the past two days.
I know.
It's been really crazy for you,
but it's gonna be okay.
I promise.
- That feels good.
- You are tense.
- Like that?
- Yeah.
Lower?
Yeah, lower.
How does that feel?
Good.
Lower...?
How does that feel?
( Ripping, scraping )
Do they hurt?
No.
They're just a little warm.
Don't worry.
I have them, too.
Kim:
Guys...
Want to come up here?
You're out of beer,
if that's what you want to know.
No...
Jeff found a better angle
on this naked chick.
- What naked chick?
- Cool. How'd you do it?
I took the image
and I blew it up.
Kim: It's a little
weird to watch...
Like watching a hold up
on bank security cameras.
You get the gist.
Where is this?
Jeff:
The foundation.
This was last night?
Yeah.
During the big blackout.
Stephen: Can you make it
so we can see her face?
Sure can.
If this is a joke...
It ain't funny.
No joke.
It's serious, Erica.
While I was gone,
you messed with things.
No.
It doesn't make any sense.
I know.
We were hoping
you could explain.
I don't have a clue.
You have no memory
of doing this?
No.
Jeff: If it's some "Wicca"
thing, that's okay,
you can tell us.
Kim: Try and help us understand.
All we're trying to do...
Is put together the pieces
of what happened last night.
Find out who trashed
my equipment.
That wasn't me.
I didn't do that.
Erica, that's you
there on the screen.
Leave me the hell alone,
all of you!
Believe her?
I don't know.
Jeff, give me
your keys to the van.
- Where are you going?
- I have to get out of here.
I need a beer.
Hey, see if we need more coffee.
( Erica chanting )
"earth and fire,
water and smoke..."
I am going to the store.
You want to come?
Erica...?
Erica!
We brought something
back with us.
What are you talking about?
I can sense it...
Like someone's choking me...
And squeezing the air out of me.
Look, we're just tired, okay?
We're all really tired.
That is it.
I want to show you something.
I have got the same thing.
It's nothing.
It's like poison oak,
or something.
But, Kim...
They're growing.
Erica: Ancient pagan alphabet.
They say it means
you've been touched by a witch.
( Sobbing ) That you're
next chosen to die...!
There's something here!
There's something here!
Sweet.
Yo, Morticia.
Hey, Elvira, I got something
you can suck the blood out of.
Oh, yeah?
Whip it out.
Excuse me, sorry.
I'm finished now.
What the...?!
What is your problem?
You're with the witch people.
Lady...
I'm just here to buy groceries.
Witch!
Freak.
Am I gonna have
a problem with you, too?
No problem.
Good.
Let's go.
Okay, look...
Either you ring this stuff up...
Or I call your manager.
I am the manager.
Really?
Well, then, Peggy...
Could you tell the bitch
at the front register
to do her goddamn job?
Get the hell out of here!
Not until I've
completed my purchase.
We don't want people
like you around here.
You know what?
I am gonna make this
so easy on you, Peggy.
I told you to get the
hell out of here!
You touch me again...
And I will rip out
your goddamn throat!
Keep your motherfucking change!
( Chanting continues )
"Persephone do I invoke..."
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone do I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone do I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Rapidly ) By earth and
fire, and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Sobbing ) By earth and
fire, and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Continues )
( Crying )
( Increases music volume )
- Stone the witch!
- Stone the bitch!
Fucking rednecks!
( Distant crying )
Ow!
Jeff:
Kim...?
Make me a pot of coffee
on your way up.
You're welcome.
Look, I fucked up
your front Fender.
I had to swerve to avoid
hitting these little kids.
They were dressed funny,
like from another time.
Seven of them.
Jeff!
Look, I know this is crazy,
but I know those are the kids
that Rustin Parr killed!
Coffee.
Next to your arm.
Morning.
Hey, did you sleep okay?
Yeah, I slept okay.
You?
Yeah.
You ready to go?
Yeah.
Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
I... appreciate
your driving us.
Yeah.
I'll get the keys from Jeff.
Come on, Tristen, wake up.
Come on, let's go.
Not yet...
Tristen, we're going home.
Erica?
Erica!
Erica?
Erica!
Jeff:
Not up here.
Not up there? You sure?
She was just here.
Didn't you hear me?
I just said she's not up here.
Why don't you go
check out the v...
What the hell happened
to the van?
Stephen:
Jesus Christ.
We are never gonna
get out of here...
Kim, what the hell
did you do to my van?
You said you just busted up
the front end a little!
I mean, how the hell
did you drive it back?
I swear it was just
the front Fender.
What the fuck is going on?!
They dip their hands
in your blood
and then they press them
on your body.
What are you talking about?
The children.
Something I dreamt.
Jeff dreamt it, too.
Look.
Look!
Oh, Jesus!
What the hell is this?
Something from the woods.
We've all got them.
Me, her, Erica...
Where is Erica?
Erica?
Erica?
Erica!
What the...?
Erica!
( Dog barking )
Erica!
Erica!!
We would've heard the dog alarm
when she went outside.
It's like she fucking vanished.
Evaporated is more like it.
Yeah, right, Kim.
You were the one who
found her clothes...
And those candles.
Kim: And what the hell is
that supposed to mean?
A prank.
Two little bitches
trying to freak us out.
- You paranoid fuck!
- Come on!
I would never do something like
that, and neither would she!
Where is she, Kim?
Where is she?
Why are all her clothes
and all her shit still here?
How am I supposed to know?
Can't you see her, Kimmy?
In your mind's eye?
Very funny, asshole!
Look, I think
something really bad
has happened to her.
Maybe she called somebody.
Jeff: I'd like to speak to
Minister Geerson, please.
Woman: The minister
is at a meeting.
Could I have him
return your call?
No.
It's urgent.
Could I tell him
what it's regarding?
Yeah.
His daughter, Erica.
We wanna know
if he's heard from her.
The minister and Mrs. Geerson
have no daughter.
No, I know, like,
they disowned her
or something because
she's a witch, but...
They've never had any children.
( Dial tone )
So she made up a story.
She gave us a fake name.
It doesn't have to mean
any more than that.
She lied to us.
Why are we seeing
all this shit, okay?
Why is all this happening?
I don't know.
Collective delusion.
Group hysteria.
It's what I'm writing
my book about.
You get a bunch
of people together,
you get them scared enough...
Dude, spare us the bullshit.
Please.
It's real.
"Dude."
It happens.
They teach it at junior colleges
I bet that even you
could get into.
Oh, yeah? And how did
you get into yours?
Do you have to brush your teeth?
Kim:
Jeff, the screen.
Roll it back, rewind it.
No, more.
Jeff:
Oh, shit.
I knew they'd come back
and mess with my stuff.
( Telephone rings )
( Keystroking )
( Ring )
Fuck off.
No one's home.
It's cravens.
Sheriff?
Ha! It's funny.
I just found out
who trashed my cameras.
I was just about to call you.
Turn on your TV.
I don't give a shit
about the TV.
I want you to see something.
Me too.
News at 11:00.
Shit. Will you
just turn that on?
Humor him?
- You watching?
- Yeah, yeah...
Like a hawk. Listen,
I'm trying to tell you
what I found out
on Friday night.
This is a special report.
A brutal murder in the black
hills discovered today.
The bodies of five hikers
found dead
atop the landmark
known as coffin rock.
Disemboweled, Jeffrey.
A grisly re-creation
of the infamous
coffin rock massacre
popularized by the movie
"The Blair Witch Project"...
Bodies were laid out
in the shape of a pentagram.
Sound familiar?
We have received word
that the victims include
two tourists from China
and one from Germany,
as well as two
unidentified white males.
In the past year,
the black hills area
has been overrun with movie fans
wanting to get a glimpse
of where
the Blair Witch Project
was filmed.
Cravens: You looking
at me, little man?
What?
Over here.
There.
Jeff:
Yeah?
I didn't find your cameras.
Don't guess that surprises
either one of us, does it?
What do you want from me?
I got five corpses here!
Look, I had nothing
to do with that.
You might not have been
in charge here,
but I know you had something
to do with this,
so you and your little friends
had best just sit tight.
And that means...
You don't leave this county
till I say it's okay.
( Owl hooting )
I don't know you, Stephen.
I don't know a thing about you.
I don't know how much to believe
about any of you people,
but from now on...
Know this:
You are not leaving me here
to take the fall for this shit.
Nobody is going out of my sight.
We brought something
back with us.
For Christ's sake, Kim...
I'll tell you
what's going on here.
It's Erica...
Or whoever the fuck she is.
Erica has got nothing
to do with this!
She's a witch, man!
She's one big
pissed-off witch!
She's been casting
fucking spells,
and then she's making
herself appear,
then she makes herself
fucking disappear!
I mean, it's been her
since day one!
Smoke it up,
'cause you're not
totally psycho yet!
Where you going?
The fuck away from you!
You're a dick.
Kim!
Jeff, come on, you've
got to have friends,
somebody with a car...
What did I tell you?!
You're not going anywhere!
Wipe that shit off your face.
You think that your makeup
and black clothes
give you power,
but you're just a scared,
cowardly little girl
underneath all that.
You don't understand.
Something happened to us
in the woods.
Something evil.
Why are you so mad at me?
( Slurping )
Calm down.
I'm not that pissed.
Just stop badmouthing Erica.
She's outside.
Where?
Right there.
There's nothing out there.
Tristen, let's get
you back to bed.
You just got to look, Stephen.
Let's go to the bedroom.
Look again.
She's out there!
( Dogs barking excitedly )
Erica.
What happened to you?
Don't be afraid.
You know who it is.
- What?
- And you know...
What you have to do.
Erica!
You know who it is.
Erica?
Tristen, help me.
Help me!
Tristen!
Aw, Tristen...
Stephen, I got you.
Quick, pull my hand.
Come on, pull up.
They did it,
the little Buster boys.
They did it!
They hanged her!
The little Buster boys!
Tristen! Shh! Shh!
It's only a dream.
It's only a dream!
They're not mine.
They're Elly Kedward's dreams!
I don't know why
I'm having them.
Why do you think
they're Elly Kedward's?
'Cause I was seeing them
through her eyes!
Tied to the tree
where they banished her to
and the bad little boys
from Blair village
sneaking out to the woods
to see if she was still alive...
And... and they let their
big dogs bite at her,
and they poked her
with sticks and then...
When the blood came out of her,
they put their palms in it
and pressed it on her flesh!
Then, when they found
she was still alive...
They tied her...
And they put the ropes
around her neck
and they hanged her
from the big tree!
Stephen, I think
I'm going fucking crazy.
No!
No, you are not going crazy.
Do you hear me?
You are not going crazy.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
( Footsteps approaching )
Jeff?
Listen, I'm really
worried about Tristen.
Do you know the name
of the doctor she was with?
No, no, I don't.
Then I think you need
to call the hospital.
Okay. I think
there's a phone book
in the desk drawer there.
What is this?
What the fuck is this?
What?
These!
I don't know.
Where did you get 'em?
In your desk! What,
are you spying on us?
What the hell are you
talking about?
I'm not doing that!
I've no idea
where this shit came from!
Where'd you get this?
Jeff has been investigating us!
- Answer me.
- I don't know!
She found 'em.
Maybe she put 'em there!
I wanna know
where you got these!
I've no idea
where these came from!
We've been looking into
your background, Stephen.
You've been such a good
little boy all your life.
How did you get mixed up
in all this?
( Telephone rings )
( Ring )
What?
It's cravens, you little shit!
Sheriff, I'm a little
preoccupied right now.
I have something
to talk to you about.
Get your butt down here.
That's going to be impossible
because my van is trashed.
And you know mommy
doesn't let me out after dark.
I'm right
at your front doorstep,
you little twerp!
Get down here!
How can he be out there?
The bridge is gone.
This is too weird.
( Bang )
Cravens:
Here!
( Bang )
Jeffrey!
( Bang )
It's cravens!
( Bang )
( Bang )
We got a few things
to talk about, boy!
( Banging )
You were a punk as a kid,
and you're still a punk!
Open up, Jeff!
( Banging )
Open the goddamn door!
( Banging )
If you know what's good for you,
you'll open the damn door!
You open up
this goddamn door right now!
I told you to stay out
of those woods!
They're not gonna
just send you back
to the loony bin this time.
Open the goddamn door!
( Barking )
( Barking continues )
Jeff!
What the fuck, dude?
Put the gun down.
Put the gun down!
Erica.
What are you doing?
Erica.
Aaah!
Kim: That's gross! She...
she's crippled!
Oh, God!
You were the last one
to see her still alive.
The last time I saw her...
She was heading up here
to see you.
I didn't kill her, Stephen.
Don't even think it.
Kim was up here with me!
Well, let me clue you
in to something!
All right?
She didn't commit
fucking suicide!
One of you...
Oh, wait, wait, wait!
What about you, huh?
What gets you off
the goddamn hook?
My word!
Which is worth
exactly shit to me!
Where was your little girlfriend
this whole time?
Oh, for Christ's sake!
She can barely get out of bed...
It's backwards.
Go back to bed, Tristen.
The little girl backwards.
Erica dancing...
Backwards.
Everything backwards.
What are you talking about?
Widdershins.
Undo the evil.
What the fuck is a widdershin?
( Speaking gibberish )
All right, she's lost
her fucking mind.
That's it.
Backwards.
- Backwards!
- What?
We need to take the tapes,
we need to run them backwards.
- Why?
- I don't know.
I think it's
gonna help us find out
what happened to Erica.
Look, this makes no sense!
I know it doesn't.
Just please do it!
( Tristen murmuring )
( Keystroking )
See? Nothing.
Try the... the...
The keystrokes backwards.
You know, the fucking command.
( Keystroking )
You see?
You guys happy?
There's nothing.
There's your missing hours.
Jeff: This must be
when we blacked out.
Tristen...
Well, she's just...
What did you make us do?
You're leading us, aren't you?
Weren't you watching
the fucking screen?
No.
Get back here!
Grab her!
Get your hands off me.
What did you do, Tristen?
Stephen, please
tell them to stop.
Why aren't you
marked like this...
Like the rest of us, like Erica?
What did you do to Erica?
Stephen, why are you
letting them do this to me?
Why, you killed Erica,
didn't you...
- Let go of her!
- Crazy!
Shh, shh, shh!
Listen.
Just admit it to the camera.
We're not gonna take
the fall for Erica.
Okay?
Just admit it.
Don't worry, sweetie.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Not like you hurt the baby.
What are you saying?
I didn't have anything
to do with the baby!
The witch kills children!
I...
Haven't
killed anybody!
Kim:
Bullshit!
Look out, Stephen.
Tristen, Tristen,
just say the words!
Just say the words...
Aaah!
( Gasps )
Psh!
You're all gonna fucking die.
You wanna kill me?
No.
No, I just want to understand.
But you can't understand
because you're so afraid!
Just like the pathetic
little children
of Blair village, so frightened!
Aren't you, little girl?
Who are you?
She's the witch, man!
Ha!
Is that what you think...
Crazy boy?
Tristen!
Tristen, talk to me!
Stephen...
What is it, baby, what is it?
Tristen's gone.
Get away from him!
That's not...
How you do it.
This is what you want.
Tristen, whatever you're doing,
don't!
I'm not doing anything, honey.
It's all up to you!
Witch bitch.
Why did you kill Erica?
( Sniffs )
( Sniffing )
I can smell the fear on you.
Stay
away from me.
You wanna kill me?
You can't, can you,
Kimmy?
I will rip
your fucking head off!
Then fucking do it!
Stop it!
Stop it.
Aw, isn't that what your
book's about, Stephen?
People just want
to see something?
You have no balls.
You can't do it, can you?
You can't do it,
you weak, pathetic...
Oh, you were
the last fucking one
with the balls,
you little bitch.
No!
Aaah! No!
Aah!
( Choking )
( Rope creaking )
Aaah!
Aah!
( Screaming )
Reporter 1: I'm standing in front
of an abandoned broom factory
in the tiny Hamlet
of Jericho mills
just a few Miles
from the town of Burkittsville
where, just hours ago,
police arrested
three obsessed movie fans
who allegedly committed
a series of ritualistic murders
after watching last summer's
blockbuster movie,
"The Blair Witch Project."
Reporter 2:
That this vehicle...
The vehicle you see
right behind me...
Is owned by one of the suspects,
and there is blood evidence
linking the suspects
to these murders.
Reporter 2:
Sadly, as has happened
so many times before
in this country,
violent "art" has inspired
real-life violence.
In this case, it's
"The Blair Witch Project."
Cravens: I ain't no
documentary filmmaker,
but I had your videotapes
slapped together
over at Montgomery college.
Sorta tells the whole story.
Great.
Let's see how fucking
insane Tristen was.
She practically begged
Stephen to push her.
Gutting those tourists...
How'd you have
the stomach for that?
Yeah...
I don't remember
doing that.
Let's talk
about... Peggy.
What?
Reporter 4: Apparently
one woman was hanged,
and the other victim,
the cause of death
has yet to be determined.
Ironically, both women
were murdered by their friends.
After allegedly participating
in a vicious killing spree
in the black hills.
Reporter 5: The police
have not offered a motive,
but we're hearing
the two slain female killers
were apparently involved
in witchcraft.
And, um...
What about the redhead?
She was a real pretty girl.
She wouldn't put out
or something?
No, we just found her
in the closet.
( Snorts )
It was Tristen.
The witch got into her...
Fucked with her mind
or something.
And your girlfriend?
Killing her because
she had a miscarriage?
Whoo-whee!
Now, that's harsh.
She wrapped the rope
around her neck.
She was taunting me...
Begging me to push her.
You're not making
a believer out of me, son.
It was an accident!
( Sobbing )
I swear to Christ
it was an accident!
Reporter: Local officials
are urging calm
and trying to keep
curiosity seekers at bay.
And as has happened in the past,
rumors about a...
"Supernatural presence"
causing these murders
are spreading like wildfire
over the Internet.
Stephen:
W-wait... wait.
Wait a... wait a second.
Jeff...
Jeff...
He... he videotaped
the whole thing.
Watch the tapes.
You'll see.
Look at the goddamn tapes!
Yes, sir.
Too much trouble
to pay for your beer?
I didn't do that.
Oh, yeah?
Then, um...
Who's this?
I didn't do that.
I didn't do that.
That's not how it happened.
I didn't do that.
That's not how it happened.
Stop it.
Jeff: Just... just do it!
Just admit it
to the camera.
We're not gonna
take the fall for Erica's...
Don't worry,
we're not gonna hurt you...
Not like you hurt the baby.
What are you saying?
I didn't have anything
to do with the baby!
The witch kills children!
I...
Haven't
killed anybody!
- Bullshit!
- No!
Tell us the truth.
Tell us the truth.
Confess.
God!
Stephen, this is me.
What are you talking about?
Aah!
- Tristen!
- Stop it!
No! No!
Stop! Oh...
Jeff:
She's the witch, man!
Jeff, what are you saying?
I'm not the witch, you...
Yeah, you are.
- What are you saying?
- You're the witch.
You know what I'm
saying, God damn it!
Kim:
Did you kill Erica?
Tristen:
Stephen, please...
Stephen:
You killed Erica.
- Confess.
- Stephen, stop...
- Confess!
- Stop it...
Say the words.
Oh, God, Stephen,
don't! Please!
No!
Fucking witch!
This is wrong.
This is wrong.
Somebody fucked with this tape!
Somebody fucked with that tape!
That tape is wrong!
That's fucking bullshit!
( Sobbing )
That's fucking shit!

Josh!
Hi, I'm Kurt Loder
with MTV news.
The film is "The Blair Witch
Project"...
Critics have called it one of the
scariest films of all time...
I was terrified.
Oh, it scared me to death...
It all starts out lighthearted
as three documentary filmmakers
armed with a 16mm camera
and a video camcorder
head into the black hills
forests of Maryland
to make a movie
about a legendary witch.
And they're never
heard from again.
There's no doubt
about the box office success
of "The Blair Witch Project,"
what's not clear, though,
is whether the "Blair Witch"
legend is true.
"Blair Witch" fans are not only
flocking to the multiplex,
they're flooding the little
town of Burkittsville, Md.
People have started coming
to Burkittsville
as if it were
Charles Manson's Spahn ranch,
or ed the serial killer's
house to visit. A haunted place.
And Burkittsville
isn't a haunted place.
It's a place that a fictional
movie was set in.
I wasn't able to see the movie
when it first came out,
because I was...
In the hospital,
but as soon as they let me out,
I was at the movie theater
17 times in a row.
- The web site really sold me.
- Yeah.
The web site... you know,
has all these police photos,
and official police things,
and all this information,
and you really believe it.
Our stick men sold so well
on the Internet,
that we started selling them
in the front yard,
them somebody came by
to buy them, and wanted rocks.
So we went out back and got
rocks out of my rock garden,
I didn't want to get rid of them
so the guy offered me $10
after he started
booting it up more.
His wife really wanted them,
so we sold them to him.
We sold some rocks on the
Internet, but not as much,
because it costs too much
to ship a rock.
Everybody that comes to town
just goes by like this...
I'm so used to being videoed.
I make sure, if I go to my car,
or out to get the paper,
that I at least
have full makeup on,
you know, and a great nightgown.
I wish that they'd used
a fictitious town.
And possibly thought ahead
toward what type
of repercussions
could come from using
the word, "documentary"
in their advertising,
and on their web site.
Get out of these woods,
and go home!
There was no
goddamn Blair Witch!
You know, there are
a lot of naysayers
who come and say nay,
but then, there are
a lot of supporters
who come up to my town,
and come up to me...
Do you know what they do?
They run up, they stop...
Hey, Selena... they come over
to me, and they hug me,
and say, "dude, I know
it's real,"
and they squeeze me,
and I squeeze them back,
and I say, "I know
it's real, too, man,"
and we have a bond, you know?
We have a connection.
So, I say, "I know,
and they go, "I know, man."
And I go, "I know."
( Screaming )
You thinking you're a wise ass?
I didn't do anything wrong!
Enough!

They found blood in the van.
Woman: Could you turn
that down just a hair?
Man: I'm just trying to set
the mood for the mission.
I know, and that's
awfully sweet,
but I feel like I'm gonna toss.
She's been feeling
a little queasy.
No need to explain,
concern. Fort is my
ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
for Mr. Stephen
Ryan Parker
who has three names,
so he must be from Boston.
Apparently he's here
researching a book,
with his girlfriend.
The book's title is...
"The Blair Witch...
History, or hysteria?"
"Hysteria,
or history?"
Why is it you guys can't get
on the same page
about the witch, anyway?
We've always been misunderstood.
We embrace nature, not evil.
Thank you, Erica.
( Erica laughing )
Not only a hottie,
but a real witch.
Blessed be.
Wiccan...
Wicc it good.
( Laughing )
Stephen: Wait... why
are we slowing down?
Jeff: This is where your other
tourmate asked us to meet her.
She's a little weird.
She thinks she's psychic
or some shit.
When's the last time
you talked to her?
E-mail,
two days ago.
Are you sure she didn't
change her mind?
Yeah...
Kim!
- Kim? Kim!
- Yo.
Is that her?
Kim?
- Yeah.
- I'm Jeff.
I figured.
What are you doing there?
Trying to find the energy.
Inside the grave?
To stand up.
I'm exhausted. I've been
on the road for two days.
- Want a hand?
- I want amphetamines.
Weed is what I've got,
beer I'm gonna get.
Both... now.
Jeff:
That's right, friends,
for two luxurious
days and nights,
my friends, you will walk
the same path
the witch herself once walked.
Sleep on the same soil
where her victims' blood
was spilled.
Possibly losing your own souls
in the process.
And I want to thank you all
for coming
on the inaugural tour
of "The Blair Witch Hunt."
"Inaugural"?
You mean you've never
done this before?
- Never.
- That's not what your web site said.
"Over 10,000
satisfied customers."
No, that's my web store.
Stick me, t-shirts,
official Blair dirt.
Tours...
We're all virgins on this bus!
Here?
You drove by a Safeway
two Miles back.
That was in Burkittsville.
I don't shop in Burkittsville
I don't even piss there.
Kim:
Hell of a town you got here.
What century are they living in?
Yeah, the gene pool
is a little shallow here.
Dive in, you'll crack your skull open.
Jeff:
Okay.
So, where are we going first?
The ruins
if Rustin Parr's house.
Erica: That guy who heard
the voices to kill, right?
Jeff:
Yeah, seven little kids were.
Kim:
Man, I hear voices all the time.
( Cracking )
Do we need all this shit
for a walk in the woods?
"The Blair Witch Hunt"
provides all amenities
while you risk certain death
and dismemberment.
- Give it up.
- What's with this camera?
To record all occult phenomena
that may manifest itself
in the course of the tour.
Damn... you're really running
"bullshit central," aren't you?
If you don't believe
in the Blair Witch,
then why the hell
did you bother to come?
I thought the movie was cool.
- How much further?
- A couple more Miles.
Jesus.
- How far along are you?
- What do you mean?
The baby.
How many weeks?
Six.
You don't want
to keep it, do you?
No.
But Stephen wants the baby.
Yes.
How did you know?
I don't know.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Jeff: Welcome to the Parr
ruins, ladies and gentlemen.
It's supposed to be where
they found Heather's footage.
These markings are incredible.
Erica: Ancient
witches' alphabet.
Stephen: Looks like
recent graffiti to me.
Tristen: They're so realistic.
It's a little scary.
Actually, some of these
symbols are quite positive.
Only those who don't
understand witchcraft
would be afraid of them.
And remember, fear...
Is the forerunner of failure.
Okay.
What's the story with this tree?
What tree?
Look behind you.
Jeff: Where the fuck
did this come from?
This was never here before.
- Nice try, dude.
- What does that mean?
Maybe you should
drop the tree bit
from your next tour.
No, no, I'm not making this up.
- I need a beer.
- Me, too.
Hey, geniuses, explain to me...
Why a house built in 1826
was built around a tree.
This would have been
sticking straight up
through the living room.
Jeff, nobody's scared.
( Screaming )
"Evil intent in the ground,"
may a release soon be found.
"In peace, release the energy
that be through my magic."
Are you casting some kind
of evil spell?
Reversing the evil.
The first law of Wicca
is, "harm none,"
'cause whatever you do,
is going to come back
at you threefold.
The karma's a bitch.
What are you really doing?
- Communing with Elly Kedward.
- The Blair Witch?
I thought you embraced
nature, not evil.
You don't understand.
Elly...
Was a good witch.
She was an earth child, like me.
She's gonna be my mentor.
- You've spoken with her?
- Not yet...
But I will.
That's why I'm here.
To shed my mortal coil...
And commune with Elly.
Tristen: Have you ever
seen her picture?
I don't think there are any.
Stephen and I found one.
Check it out.
We think it was drawn before
they banished her from Blair.
"Banished," my ass.
They dragged her into the woods
in the middle of winter,
and tied her to a tree to die.
You make her sound helpless.
I thought witches
could summon powerful energy.
We can...
But we still have to eat, shit,
and die like the rest of you.
We just look good doing it.
What do you need
all these cameras for?
I'm personally hoping
for an Elly Kedward sighting.
I've got a big beta
for a quality master,
I got a night vision,
I got an infrared,
a cute little mini dv,
handhelds for everyone...
This baby can even do
frame-a-second time lapse.
If anything comes in for
a visit, we'll catch it.
May I have permission
to take this leaf?
Thank you.
Erica: "Evil intent
in the ground",
"may your release soon be found."
"And peace release the energy
that be from my magic."
"Evil intent in the ground,"
"may your release soon be found."
"And peace release the energy
that be for my magic."
Stephen:
Okay, wait...
How many Heather Donahues
does it take
- to screw in a light bulb?
- How many?
( Screaming )
Just one!
( Laughter )
Just one of them!
Do you know what I could
never figure out?
What's that?
"Blair Witch Project"...
Two guys and a girl,
sleeping in the same tent...
Night after night, and no sex?
- It makes no sense.
- You're so right.
I mean, they were scared
out of their minds,
and the greatest stress reliever
right at their fingertips...
And nothing.
I'm a little stressed.
Try some more weed.
Okay.
The Bermuda triangle.
It's a place in the world
that's been created
by hysteria.
By people's own psychology,
by their own ideas of the place.
We were already
a persecuted minority.
This whole "Blair Witch" thing
set us back 300 years.
It's like we're back
in the burning times.
Just totally
fucked up our image.
Erica, people fear
what they don't understand.
- You've gotta realize that.
- No shit. People think...
That I drink blood,
that I sacrifice children.
That I worship the devil
just because I'm a wiccan.
Where I come from, people think
because I dress in black,
I'm some kind of sick
killer or something.
I don't even believe
in the devil.
That's a Christian concept.
I believe in nature.
I hate nature.
Myth... for me, right?
Is just myth.
It's not history,
it's not even metaphor,
and it's definitely
not the truth...
Stephen, stories
like this happen
because they exist
in a place of truth.
There's historical evidence,
there's fact.
That's what you
don't understand.
Jeff:
I want to make a film.
"Wicca...
A way of life."
- Nice.
- Yeah.
Wait, wait...
Check this out.
Look at everyone.
Everyone is obsessed
with the Blair Witch...
For their own reasons,
including us.
"Goth...
A way of life."
A documentary on you.
All real, all video.
Video never lies, Kim.
Film does, though.
Everyone wants to see something.
I'm telling ya,
hysteria and delusions,
they breed in situations
like this.
Why are you applying rational
thought to mythology?
Because if people believe
something enough, isn't it real?
If people believe something
enough, isn't it real?
"Perception
is reality."
You're not listening to me.
Babe, I know what you're saying,
I just think it's bullshit.
I think you're being
a monomaniacal reductionist.
( Eerie shrieking )
What the hell was that?
I heard that, too.
"Burkittsville's
funniest home videos!"
You scared the shit
out of me, man!
It answered every single one
of your wet dreams.
What the hell are you
guys doing here?
We've got a tour group,
"The Blair Witch Walk."
What's your excuse?
Tour group...
"The Blair Witch Hunt"!
I don't believe this.
You're supposed to look out
for stuff like this.
This is so not happening!
We have jurisdiction here.
We have permits.
Oh, yeah?
From cravens?
Bullshit.
Let me see 'em.
- Bullshit!
- They're in the car.
Bullshit!
Rival:
Let's put it this way...
One of us is staying tonight...
It's gonna be us or you,
and it looks like us,
you little bitch!
It's gonna come back at you
threefold, man.
- What's she saying?
- In the wiccan tradition...
Shut up!
Your balls will fall off
in three days!
Yo, guys...
I think I can settle this.
Just give us till dawn,
and then we're out of here.
We're cold, we're tired...
And we're a little shook up.
We saw something
up at coffin rock today.
Yeah...
Yeah, up at coffin rock.
It scared the shit out of us.
Guys, stop talking about it,
because I am gonna freak.
I just want to go home.
Can we see this thing...
"coffin rock"?
Whatever.
It's your money, Greta.
Next time, you guys take
the "Blair Witch Walk."
Next time, take "The Blair
Witch Hunt." Here's my card.
Call me.
I'm on the web.
( Giggling )
"They were never seen again."
Their footage was found
a year later...
Underexposed, and useless.
I don't trust that these
assholes aren't coming back.
They're going to be pissed
that we took the foundation.
I don't think it's
anything to worry about.
Besides...
We're gonna be up
all night, baby!
( Howling )
Giddy-up!
We'll just keep our eyes open.
They're not coming back.
Why do you think that?
I just do.
Kim:
Back in a minute.
Up all night!
How do your parents feel...
About having a witch
for a daughter?
My father is...
An episcopal minister,
in a one church town
back in Munnsville, Illinois.
Yeah.
That's a bummer.
How many beers is that for you?
I'm serious! You're drinking
like a freakin' fish!
I just think you should
take care of yourself.
Jesus! We've already
gone through this today.
( Man screaming )
( Baby crying )
What's going on?
What the fuck...?
This is my work.
This is all my research.
Our work.
Every word.
Where the fuck are my cameras?
Stephen: This is all
of our goddamn work!
How the hell are we
gonna make the deadline?
We backed it up on the computer.
No, Tristen,
the computer's just notes.
Half this shit
is original documents.
Where the hell was everybody?
We were all supposed
to be awake.
Guys, where's Erica?
I'm right here.
We must have fallen asleep.
"Asleep"?
It's like we must have
blacked out!
The last thing I remember
was that other tour group.
Yeah...
Those fucking dickweeds!
Who else could it
have been, huh?
They came back from coffin rock,
and ripped us off!
Kim:
"Ripped"?
These things look
like they were bit off!
I... what am I
gonna do?
At least the tapes
are still here.
What?
The tapes...
They're here.
But where?
Do you see them?
In my mind, I see them.
Oh, Jesus.
You fucker.
They're there!
Where they "found"
the "Blair Witch" tapes?
You've got to be kidding me.
Come on. Why would
they be in there?
News flash, everybody...
That was just a movie.
I don't know why, Stephen.
They're under the rocks.
There's nothing in there.
Reach inside.
Well...?
I don't feel so hot.
Jeff, is there
anything in there?
Erica:
Jesus Christ.
How did those get in there?
Are they yours?
I think we should leave.
How did you know?
- I don't know.
- Are they yours?
Did you put them
in there? Did you?!
- Jeff, are they your tapes?
- Yeah, they're my tapes!
Then, why are they still here?
Why is the equipment trashed,
the cameras are gone,
but the tapes are still here?
Stephen:
She's right, Jeff.
Wouldn't those guys want
to fuck up your tour footage?
Stephen, I want to leave.
How did this happen?
Oh, fuck...!
Jesus Christ, the baby.
We found blood in the van.
Tristen had a miscarriage.
You know that, cravens.
She bled in the van
on the way to the hospital.
This girl's hypothermic.
Get me heating blankets
and a lamp.
How did she get so cold?
It's like she's been
sitting in ice water.
No, we were just camping.
Cravens: The doctor
thinks it's hypothermia.
Of course, the way I see it...
You're the one
that brought her out here.
You took her into those woods.
She's your responsibility.
Are you charging me
with something?
You have been...
A pain in this town's ass
since you were 10.
You need to learn
to stay out of trouble, boy.
It makes you defensive...
Anxious.
Last thing you need
is to end up
back in the looney bin.
How is she?
She lost the baby.
Nurse: The doctor wants
to keep you here
until your temperature
stabilizes.
You lost a lot of blood.
More than usual.
It's for the best.
Your body was telling you
something was wrong.
Something was wrong.
( Screaming )
How are you feeling?
I'm not staying here.
Stephen: Five hours of our
lives are unaccounted for.
I want to see those tapes.
I want to know what
happened last night.
I've got some cool editing
equipment at my house.
We should be able
to come up with some answers.
We're still in the black
hills, aren't we?
Yeah, right up there.
Let's get Tristen inside.
Take care of the bags later.
I thought we were going
to your house.
Yeah.
R.F.D. 431...
Jericho mills, home.
Stephen: What did it used to be?
It was an old factory
after the civil war.
They were going to tear it down,
but I talked them into
selling it to me for a buck.
Erica:
Cool.
Sorry about the bridge...
It's the only way in or out.
It's pretty safe...
Don't lean on the railings.
Cravens:
I am not...
A gambling man.
But...
I would bet my entire...
Retirement pension...
That the blood in the van...
Is going to match
those tourists.
You've been looking
to pin something on me
since I was a kid.
( Dogs barking )
Come on, get in, quick.
Before they eat you.
Come on.
Quick, quick.
Let's go.
( Barking )
( Barking stops )
( Resumes )
Burkitt county's
cheapest burglar alarm.
And what's that do?
Squirt water?
Oh, no...
That actually works.
Wave.
It's recording you right now.
I got 'em hooked up
through the whole building.
What can I say?
I'm a little paranoid.
Hah!
"A little"?
I heard that.
But with good reason.
I got a lot
of valuable stuff here.
Oh, my God.
Kim:
Yeah.
You wouldn't want
somebody to come in here,
and steal a bunch of stuff
that you've already stolen.
Where it comes from originally
is none of my business,
nor should it be yours.
I just like to pass
the savings on to others.
Really?
And how do you do that?
E-bay.
Buying, selling, trading,
swapping.
I'm a major player.
Thought all your cameras
got trashed, Jeff.
Well...
You can never have too many.
Jeff, I think we've had
enough videotaping
for one weekend.
Yeah, dude.
Tour's over.
Jeff: Maybe the tour
has just begun, Erica.
Because you're walking
into the official Blair store.
Come in, everybody.
This is where it all begins.
This is the epicenter
of the "Blair Witch Hunt"
web site.
Let's see now,
I got my sticks...
You can touch these,
they're for the stick men,
don't touch those,
those are drying.
What else...?
Jeff, did you collect these
all in the black hills?
Yeah, every single twig.
Over here we got
a rock formation...
Oh, my God, who made that?!
Oh... I did,
earlier.
We've got Parr ruins
foundation dirt,
that's a big item.
I sell that.
T-shirts
and sweat shirts,
and hats.
Here you go, Tristen.
That's for you. Gratis.
I feel better.
You're as big an asshole
as the rest of them.
What are you
talking about, Erica?
This stuff is hot.
This is what the wiccan
religion really needs, Jeff.
More capitalism
based on fear and lies.
Do you really think it's fair
to exploit our culture...
Just to sell stick figure
key chains?
I think this place
is cool, Jeff.
Thanks.
Jeff, we're tired
I should get her to bed.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
Let's see...
The stairs by the kitchen
lead to my editing loft,
the bedroom on the
right is mine,
it's got the biggest bed
and it's own John,
but you guys can take it.
- Thanks, brother.
- Sure.
Sleep well.
The rest of the bedrooms
are down the hallway.
Hey...
I really appreciate
the hospitality,
but, take me off
your mailing list.
Okay.
They should have
never let you out.
You're a long way from sane.
Tristen:
I saw something
at the hospital.
What?
It was just like
the picture you showed me
in the Blair Witch black Bible.
The same clothes,
that same face,
like...
She'd been drowned.
Who?
The little girl.
Eileen treacle.
Sweetie...
Why don't we talk about this
after you get some sleep?
I want to talk about it now.
You need to sleep.
You're in shock.
This is so...
Intense.
Chill out, Erica. We've
watched half of one tape.
We've got four angles,
we've got our handhelds,
we've got hours of tapes
we haven't seen.
Last night...
When we were camping...
I dreamt I hurt the baby.
That's just because
we've been fighting
about it so much.
You've been through a lot.
I know how much
you wanted that baby.
I'm sorry I didn't want it.
I'm sorry that I lost it.
Guys, something
just occurred to me.
Where's that tree?
Kim:
What?
That big tree that was
in the middle of the foundation.
Now there's just this tiny twig.
See, guys, I told you there was
something up with that tree.
Hand me another
of those dv cassettes.
Maybe there's another angle.
Whoa, whoa...
What is up with that?
I don't know.
I think it's chafing
- from the backpack.
- Does it hurt?
Not really.
It just kind of itches.
It's nothing.
Here.
- What was that?
- What?
Rewind it.
What did you see?
I'm not sure.
A flash, or something.
Coffin rock.
What?
Coffin rock.
How the hell
do you see coffin rock?
Can you see in other dimensions?
I don't know.
That's what it reminds me of.
Those guys that were
murdered there...
In 1886, after they were gutted,
their heads were arranged
in the shape of a pentagram...
Like that.
The great American pastime,
blame it on a witch.
Jeff: Let me see if I can
get that image back.
Tristen:
Stephen!
Erica: Is she gonna be okay?
I don't know.
Stephen!
Tristen?
Tristen?
( Sobbing outside )
( Barking alarm )
Shut up.
Girl's voice: You brought
it back with you!
( Shriek )
Tristen:
What was all that?
That was Jeff's
stupid dog alarm.
The crying.
You heard that, too?
In my dreams.
I though I was having
this horrible nightmare.
About what?
Children...
Looking up my skirt...
As I twirled 'round
and 'round...
So I hurt them.
Stephen, what the hell
is wrong with me?
Nothing.
Nothing.
You're just...
Look, there are...
Rational explanations
behind this.
Behind everything
that's going on.
I think we need to go home.
I'll get someone
to drive us to the airport...
Not yet.
Why?
Just not yet.
I need to understand
what happened.
You can understand it
on the plane ride home.
Here.
Take these.
Take them.
They'll help you sleep.
Come on, take them!
You're not making
a believer out of me, son.
It was an accident.
I swear to Christ,
it was an accident.
- Jesus.
- Whoa.
What the hell was that?
I'm not sure.
See that?
Whoa, wait. Look.
Time code goes
from 1:32 A.M...
To 3:57 A.M...
Back to 1:32 A.M.
In the middle of the footage?
How does that happen?
I don't know...
But those were the hours
that we fell asleep.
Can you make it bigger,
or slow it down?
Let me try slowing it down.
Ladies and gentlemen,
that is a naked woman.
What is a naked woman doing
swinging around a tree?
Are we sure these are our tapes?
I'm not sure of anything
in the last 24 hours.
Let me try re-digitizing
this footage
at a higher resolution
so I can blow it up.
This will take a few minutes.
I need alcohol.
Caffeine.
Caffeine?
Sure.
I live to serve.
Ugh... great.
Stale coffee,
no beer,
some old take-out
chicken...
But plenty of batteries.
Hey...
What's going on?
We're leaving in the morning.
Really?
It's...
Tristen.
She's in bad shape.
This whole thing
has really fucked her up.
How come you're the one
who looks like
he's having a breakdown?
Look... I'm a little tense,
all right?
Sorry.
No, I am...
Sorry.
I just feel like my whole life's
been turned upside down
the past two days.
I know.
It's been really crazy for you,
but it's gonna be okay.
I promise.
- That feels good.
- You are tense.
- Like that?
- Yeah.
Lower?
Yeah, lower.
How does that feel?
Good.
Lower...?
How does that feel?
( Ripping, scraping )
Do they hurt?
No.
They're just a little warm.
Don't worry.
I have them, too.
Kim:
Guys...
Want to come up here?
You're out of beer,
if that's what you want to know.
No...
Jeff found a better angle
on this naked chick.
- What naked chick?
- Cool. How'd you do it?
I took the image
and I blew it up.
Kim: It's a little
weird to watch...
Like watching a hold up
on bank security cameras.
You get the gist.
Where is this?
Jeff:
The foundation.
This was last night?
Yeah.
During the big blackout.
Stephen: Can you make it
so we can see her face?
Sure can.
If this is a joke...
It ain't funny.
No joke.
It's serious, Erica.
While I was gone,
you messed with things.
No.
It doesn't make any sense.
I know.
We were hoping
you could explain.
I don't have a clue.
You have no memory
of doing this?
No.
Jeff: If it's some "Wicca"
thing, that's okay,
you can tell us.
Kim: Try and help us understand.
All we're trying to do...
Is put together the pieces
of what happened last night.
Find out who trashed
my equipment.
That wasn't me.
I didn't do that.
Erica, that's you
there on the screen.
Leave me the hell alone,
all of you!
Believe her?
I don't know.
Jeff, give me
your keys to the van.
- Where are you going?
- I have to get out of here.
I need a beer.
Hey, see if we need more coffee.
( Erica chanting )
"earth and fire,
water and smoke..."
I am going to the store.
You want to come?
Erica...?
Erica!
We brought something
back with us.
What are you talking about?
I can sense it...
Like someone's choking me...
And squeezing the air out of me.
Look, we're just tired, okay?
We're all really tired.
That is it.
I want to show you something.
I have got the same thing.
It's nothing.
It's like poison oak,
or something.
But, Kim...
They're growing.
Erica: Ancient pagan alphabet.
They say it means
you've been touched by a witch.
( Sobbing ) That you're
next chosen to die...!
There's something here!
There's something here!
Sweet.
Yo, Morticia.
Hey, Elvira, I got something
you can suck the blood out of.
Oh, yeah?
Whip it out.
Excuse me, sorry.
I'm finished now.
What the...?!
What is your problem?
You're with the witch people.
Lady...
I'm just here to buy groceries.
Witch!
Freak.
Am I gonna have
a problem with you, too?
No problem.
Good.
Let's go.
Okay, look...
Either you ring this stuff up...
Or I call your manager.
I am the manager.
Really?
Well, then, Peggy...
Could you tell the bitch
at the front register
to do her goddamn job?
Get the hell out of here!
Not until I've
completed my purchase.
We don't want people
like you around here.
You know what?
I am gonna make this
so easy on you, Peggy.
I told you to get the
hell out of here!
You touch me again...
And I will rip out
your goddamn throat!
Keep your motherfucking change!
( Chanting continues )
"Persephone do I invoke..."
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone do I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone do I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Rapidly ) By earth and
fire, and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
By earth and fire,
and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Sobbing ) By earth and
fire, and water and smoke,
Persephone I invoke...
( Continues )
( Crying )
( Increases music volume )
- Stone the witch!
- Stone the bitch!
Fucking rednecks!
( Distant crying )
Ow!
Jeff:
Kim...?
Make me a pot of coffee
on your way up.
You're welcome.
Look, I fucked up
your front Fender.
I had to swerve to avoid
hitting these little kids.
They were dressed funny,
like from another time.
Seven of them.
Jeff!
Look, I know this is crazy,
but I know those are the kids
that Rustin Parr killed!
Coffee.
Next to your arm.
Morning.
Hey, did you sleep okay?
Yeah, I slept okay.
You?
Yeah.
You ready to go?
Yeah.
Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
I... appreciate
your driving us.
Yeah.
I'll get the keys from Jeff.
Come on, Tristen, wake up.
Come on, let's go.
Not yet...
Tristen, we're going home.
Erica?
Erica!
Erica?
Erica!
Jeff:
Not up here.
Not up there? You sure?
She was just here.
Didn't you hear me?
I just said she's not up here.
Why don't you go
check out the v...
What the hell happened
to the van?
Stephen:
Jesus Christ.
We are never gonna
get out of here...
Kim, what the hell
did you do to my van?
You said you just busted up
the front end a little!
I mean, how the hell
did you drive it back?
I swear it was just
the front Fender.
What the fuck is going on?!
They dip their hands
in your blood
and then they press them
on your body.
What are you talking about?
The children.
Something I dreamt.
Jeff dreamt it, too.
Look.
Look!
Oh, Jesus!
What the hell is this?
Something from the woods.
We've all got them.
Me, her, Erica...
Where is Erica?
Erica?
Erica?
Erica!
What the...?
Erica!
( Dog barking )
Erica!
Erica!!
We would've heard the dog alarm
when she went outside.
It's like she fucking vanished.
Evaporated is more like it.
Yeah, right, Kim.
You were the one who
found her clothes...
And those candles.
Kim: And what the hell is
that supposed to mean?
A prank.
Two little bitches
trying to freak us out.
- You paranoid fuck!
- Come on!
I would never do something like
that, and neither would she!
Where is she, Kim?
Where is she?
Why are all her clothes
and all her shit still here?
How am I supposed to know?
Can't you see her, Kimmy?
In your mind's eye?
Very funny, asshole!
Look, I think
something really bad
has happened to her.
Maybe she called somebody.
Jeff: I'd like to speak to
Minister Geerson, please.
Woman: The minister
is at a meeting.
Could I have him
return your call?
No.
It's urgent.
Could I tell him
what it's regarding?
Yeah.
His daughter, Erica.
We wanna know
if he's heard from her.
The minister and Mrs. Geerson
have no daughter.
No, I know, like,
they disowned her
or something because
she's a witch, but...
They've never had any children.
( Dial tone )
So she made up a story.
She gave us a fake name.
It doesn't have to mean
any more than that.
She lied to us.
Why are we seeing
all this shit, okay?
Why is all this happening?
I don't know.
Collective delusion.
Group hysteria.
It's what I'm writing
my book about.
You get a bunch
of people together,
you get them scared enough...
Dude, spare us the bullshit.
Please.
It's real.
"Dude."
It happens.
They teach it at junior colleges
I bet that even you
could get into.
Oh, yeah? And how did
you get into yours?
Do you have to brush your teeth?
Kim:
Jeff, the screen.
Roll it back, rewind it.
No, more.
Jeff:
Oh, shit.
I knew they'd come back
and mess with my stuff.
( Telephone rings )
( Keystroking )
( Ring )
Fuck off.
No one's home.
It's cravens.
Sheriff?
Ha! It's funny.
I just found out
who trashed my cameras.
I was just about to call you.
Turn on your TV.
I don't give a shit
about the TV.
I want you to see something.
Me too.
News at 11:00.
Shit. Will you
just turn that on?
Humor him?
- You watching?
- Yeah, yeah...
Like a hawk. Listen,
I'm trying to tell you
what I found out
on Friday night.
This is a special report.
A brutal murder in the black
hills discovered today.
The bodies of five hikers
found dead
atop the landmark
known as coffin rock.
Disemboweled, Jeffrey.
A grisly re-creation
of the infamous
coffin rock massacre
popularized by the movie
"The Blair Witch Project"...
Bodies were laid out
in the shape of a pentagram.
Sound familiar?
We have received word
that the victims include
two tourists from China
and one from Germany,
as well as two
unidentified white males.
In the past year,
the black hills area
has been overrun with movie fans
wanting to get a glimpse
of where
the Blair Witch Project
was filmed.
Cravens: You looking
at me, little man?
What?
Over here.
There.
Jeff:
Yeah?
I didn't find your cameras.
Don't guess that surprises
either one of us, does it?
What do you want from me?
I got five corpses here!
Look, I had nothing
to do with that.
You might not have been
in charge here,
but I know you had something
to do with this,
so you and your little friends
had best just sit tight.
And that means...
You don't leave this county
till I say it's okay.
( Owl hooting )
I don't know you, Stephen.
I don't know a thing about you.
I don't know how much to believe
about any of you people,
but from now on...
Know this:
You are not leaving me here
to take the fall for this shit.
Nobody is going out of my sight.
We brought something
back with us.
For Christ's sake, Kim...
I'll tell you
what's going on here.
It's Erica...
Or whoever the fuck she is.
Erica has got nothing
to do with this!
She's a witch, man!
She's one big
pissed-off witch!
She's been casting
fucking spells,
and then she's making
herself appear,
then she makes herself
fucking disappear!
I mean, it's been her
since day one!
Smoke it up,
'cause you're not
totally psycho yet!
Where you going?
The fuck away from you!
You're a dick.
Kim!
Jeff, come on, you've
got to have friends,
somebody with a car...
What did I tell you?!
You're not going anywhere!
Wipe that shit off your face.
You think that your makeup
and black clothes
give you power,
but you're just a scared,
cowardly little girl
underneath all that.
You don't understand.
Something happened to us
in the woods.
Something evil.
Why are you so mad at me?
( Slurping )
Calm down.
I'm not that pissed.
Just stop badmouthing Erica.
She's outside.
Where?
Right there.
There's nothing out there.
Tristen, let's get
you back to bed.
You just got to look, Stephen.
Let's go to the bedroom.
Look again.
She's out there!
( Dogs barking excitedly )
Erica.
What happened to you?
Don't be afraid.
You know who it is.
- What?
- And you know...
What you have to do.
Erica!
You know who it is.
Erica?
Tristen, help me.
Help me!
Tristen!
Aw, Tristen...
Stephen, I got you.
Quick, pull my hand.
Come on, pull up.
They did it,
the little Buster boys.
They did it!
They hanged her!
The little Buster boys!
Tristen! Shh! Shh!
It's only a dream.
It's only a dream!
They're not mine.
They're Elly Kedward's dreams!
I don't know why
I'm having them.
Why do you think
they're Elly Kedward's?
'Cause I was seeing them
through her eyes!
Tied to the tree
where they banished her to
and the bad little boys
from Blair village
sneaking out to the woods
to see if she was still alive...
And... and they let their
big dogs bite at her,
and they poked her
with sticks and then...
When the blood came out of her,
they put their palms in it
and pressed it on her flesh!
Then, when they found
she was still alive...
They tied her...
And they put the ropes
around her neck
and they hanged her
from the big tree!
Stephen, I think
I'm going fucking crazy.
No!
No, you are not going crazy.
Do you hear me?
You are not going crazy.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
( Footsteps approaching )
Jeff?
Listen, I'm really
worried about Tristen.
Do you know the name
of the doctor she was with?
No, no, I don't.
Then I think you need
to call the hospital.
Okay. I think
there's a phone book
in the desk drawer there.
What is this?
What the fuck is this?
What?
These!
I don't know.
Where did you get 'em?
In your desk! What,
are you spying on us?
What the hell are you
talking about?
I'm not doing that!
I've no idea
where this shit came from!
Where'd you get this?
Jeff has been investigating us!
- Answer me.
- I don't know!
She found 'em.
Maybe she put 'em there!
I wanna know
where you got these!
I've no idea
where these came from!
We've been looking into
your background, Stephen.
You've been such a good
little boy all your life.
How did you get mixed up
in all this?
( Telephone rings )
( Ring )
What?
It's cravens, you little shit!
Sheriff, I'm a little
preoccupied right now.
I have something
to talk to you about.
Get your butt down here.
That's going to be impossible
because my van is trashed.
And you know mommy
doesn't let me out after dark.
I'm right
at your front doorstep,
you little twerp!
Get down here!
How can he be out there?
The bridge is gone.
This is too weird.
( Bang )
Cravens:
Here!
( Bang )
Jeffrey!
( Bang )
It's cravens!
( Bang )
( Bang )
We got a few things
to talk about, boy!
( Banging )
You were a punk as a kid,
and you're still a punk!
Open up, Jeff!
( Banging )
Open the goddamn door!
( Banging )
If you know what's good for you,
you'll open the damn door!
You open up
this goddamn door right now!
I told you to stay out
of those woods!
They're not gonna
just send you back
to the loony bin this time.
Open the goddamn door!
( Barking )
( Barking continues )
Jeff!
What the fuck, dude?
Put the gun down.
Put the gun down!
Erica.
What are you doing?
Erica.
Aaah!
Kim: That's gross! She...
she's crippled!
Oh, God!
You were the last one
to see her still alive.
The last time I saw her...
She was heading up here
to see you.
I didn't kill her, Stephen.
Don't even think it.
Kim was up here with me!
Well, let me clue you
in to something!
All right?
She didn't commit
fucking suicide!
One of you...
Oh, wait, wait, wait!
What about you, huh?
What gets you off
the goddamn hook?
My word!
Which is worth
exactly shit to me!
Where was your little girlfriend
this whole time?
Oh, for Christ's sake!
She can barely get out of bed...
It's backwards.
Go back to bed, Tristen.
The little girl backwards.
Erica dancing...
Backwards.
Everything backwards.
What are you talking about?
Widdershins.
Undo the evil.
What the fuck is a widdershin?
( Speaking gibberish )
All right, she's lost
her fucking mind.
That's it.
Backwards.
- Backwards!
- What?
We need to take the tapes,
we need to run them backwards.
- Why?
- I don't know.
I think it's
gonna help us find out
what happened to Erica.
Look, this makes no sense!
I know it doesn't.
Just please do it!
( Tristen murmuring )
( Keystroking )
See? Nothing.
Try the... the...
The keystrokes backwards.
You know, the fucking command.
( Keystroking )
You see?
You guys happy?
There's nothing.
There's your missing hours.
Jeff: This must be
when we blacked out.
Tristen...
Well, she's just...
What did you make us do?
You're leading us, aren't you?
Weren't you watching
the fucking screen?
No.
Get back here!
Grab her!
Get your hands off me.
What did you do, Tristen?
Stephen, please
tell them to stop.
Why aren't you
marked like this...
Like the rest of us, like Erica?
What did you do to Erica?
Stephen, why are you
letting them do this to me?
Why, you killed Erica,
didn't you...
- Let go of her!
- Crazy!
Shh, shh, shh!
Listen.
Just admit it to the camera.
We're not gonna take
the fall for Erica.
Okay?
Just admit it.
Don't worry, sweetie.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Not like you hurt the baby.
What are you saying?
I didn't have anything
to do with the baby!
The witch kills children!
I...
Haven't
killed anybody!
Kim:
Bullshit!
Look out, Stephen.
Tristen, Tristen,
just say the words!
Just say the words...
Aaah!
( Gasps )
Psh!
You're all gonna fucking die.
You wanna kill me?
No.
No, I just want to understand.
But you can't understand
because you're so afraid!
Just like the pathetic
little children
of Blair village, so frightened!
Aren't you, little girl?
Who are you?
She's the witch, man!
Ha!
Is that what you think...
Crazy boy?
Tristen!
Tristen, talk to me!
Stephen...
What is it, baby, what is it?
Tristen's gone.
Get away from him!
That's not...
How you do it.
This is what you want.
Tristen, whatever you're doing,
don't!
I'm not doing anything, honey.
It's all up to you!
Witch bitch.
Why did you kill Erica?
( Sniffs )
( Sniffing )
I can smell the fear on you.
Stay
away from me.
You wanna kill me?
You can't, can you,
Kimmy?
I will rip
your fucking head off!
Then fucking do it!
Stop it!
Stop it.
Aw, isn't that what your
book's about, Stephen?
People just want
to see something?
You have no balls.
You can't do it, can you?
You can't do it,
you weak, pathetic...
Oh, you were
the last fucking one
with the balls,
you little bitch.
No!
Aaah! No!
Aah!
( Choking )
( Rope creaking )
Aaah!
Aah!
( Screaming )
Reporter 1: I'm standing in front
of an abandoned broom factory
in the tiny Hamlet
of Jericho mills
just a few Miles
from the town of Burkittsville
where, just hours ago,
police arrested
three obsessed movie fans
who allegedly committed
a series of ritualistic murders
after watching last summer's
blockbuster movie,
"The Blair Witch Project."
Reporter 2:
That this vehicle...
The vehicle you see
right behind me...
Is owned by one of the suspects,
and there is blood evidence
linking the suspects
to these murders.
Reporter 2:
Sadly, as has happened
so many times before
in this country,
violent "art" has inspired
real-life violence.
In this case, it's
"The Blair Witch Project."
Cravens: I ain't no
documentary filmmaker,
but I had your videotapes
slapped together
over at Montgomery college.
Sorta tells the whole story.
Great.
Let's see how fucking
insane Tristen was.
She practically begged
Stephen to push her.
Gutting those tourists...
How'd you have
the stomach for that?
Yeah...
I don't remember
doing that.
Let's talk
about... Peggy.
What?
Reporter 4: Apparently
one woman was hanged,
and the other victim,
the cause of death
has yet to be determined.
Ironically, both women
were murdered by their friends.
After allegedly participating
in a vicious killing spree
in the black hills.
Reporter 5: The police
have not offered a motive,
but we're hearing
the two slain female killers
were apparently involved
in witchcraft.
And, um...
What about the redhead?
She was a real pretty girl.
She wouldn't put out
or something?
No, we just found her
in the closet.
( Snorts )
It was Tristen.
The witch got into her...
Fucked with her mind
or something.
And your girlfriend?
Killing her because
she had a miscarriage?
Whoo-whee!
Now, that's harsh.
She wrapped the rope
around her neck.
She was taunting me...
Begging me to push her.
You're not making
a believer out of me, son.
It was an accident!
( Sobbing )
I swear to Christ
it was an accident!
Reporter: Local officials
are urging calm
and trying to keep
curiosity seekers at bay.
And as has happened in the past,
rumors about a...
"Supernatural presence"
causing these murders
are spreading like wildfire
over the Internet.
Stephen:
W-wait... wait.
Wait a... wait a second.
Jeff...
Jeff...
He... he videotaped
the whole thing.
Watch the tapes.
You'll see.
Look at the goddamn tapes!
Yes, sir.
Too much trouble
to pay for your beer?
I didn't do that.
Oh, yeah?
Then, um...
Who's this?
I didn't do that.
I didn't do that.
That's not how it happened.
I didn't do that.
That's not how it happened.
Stop it.
Jeff: Just... just do it!
Just admit it
to the camera.
We're not gonna
take the fall for Erica's...
Don't worry,
we're not gonna hurt you...
Not like you hurt the baby.
What are you saying?
I didn't have anything
to do with the baby!
The witch kills children!
I...
Haven't
killed anybody!
- Bullshit!
- No!
Tell us the truth.
Tell us the truth.
Confess.
God!
Stephen, this is me.
What are you talking about?
Aah!
- Tristen!
- Stop it!
No! No!
Stop! Oh...
Jeff:
She's the witch, man!
Jeff, what are you saying?
I'm not the witch, you...
Yeah, you are.
- What are you saying?
- You're the witch.
You know what I'm
saying, God damn it!
Kim:
Did you kill Erica?
Tristen:
Stephen, please...
Stephen:
You killed Erica.
- Confess.
- Stephen, stop...
- Confess!
- Stop it...
Say the words.
Oh, God, Stephen,
don't! Please!
No!
Fucking witch!
This is wrong.
This is wrong.
Somebody fucked with this tape!
Somebody fucked with that tape!
That tape is wrong!
That's fucking bullshit!
( Sobbing )
That's fucking shit!
