Format:mockumentary Release date:07.11.99 With the pre-release buzz of The Blair Witch Projectreaching record highs (thanks in part to the expertly-crafted website, and in part to the bootleg VHS tapes that were floating around the horror convention circuit), Artisan struck a deal with the Sci-Fi Channel (now branded as Syfy) to do a promotional ti...
Format:theatrical film Release date:07.30.99 Yes, the film that spawned the entire expanded universe comes second in the chronology; to watch it otherwise is to do a grave disservice to the overarching flow of the mythology.
Format:website Release date:April 1999 (final form) Unlike the standard movie website (including that, ironically enough, for this year’s Blair Witch), The Blair Witch Project’s online home eschewed simply listing release dates and trailers for being a repository of the movie’s mythology, containing references to the historical incidents that would...
Format:book Release date:09.01.99 When a tie-in book was called for by Artisan and publisher Onyx, author Dave Stern came up with a brilliant idea: rather than doing the standard novelization, they would further the deceitful marketing premise by providing a collection of every last bit of information out there on the student filmmakers, on the cit...

Format:novel Release date:08.01.00 Here’s just how in-depth the Blair Witch EU can get: real-life author Dave Stern created a fictitious persona for himself using his real name (just like the actors from the first film) when writing the Blair Witch dossier, sketching out a backstory of how he became an expert on the occult and how he got into conta...
Format:mockumentary Release date:07.16.00 When Showtime acquired the premium cable rights to The Blair Witch Project, both the channel and Artisan wanted to craft another mockumentary in order to generate fresh excitement (and, of course, to replicate the phenomenal success of Curse of the Blair Witch, which ended up being one of Syfy’s highest-rat...
Format:one-shot comic book Release date:October 2000 The final installment of the Rustin Parr trilogy once again provides a different perspective on the character from a different source (this time, retired teacher Davis Crane, a classmate of Rustin’s), but it also looks to cement him as the Blair Witch’s plaything rather than continue the revision...
When Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 was released on October 27, 2000, Artisan and its various licensing partners thought that not only would the film be the continuation of the nascent Blairmovie franchise, it would also serve as the launching pad for the next round of expanded universe materials. Piggybacking off of its release was a heavily expan...

People thought "The Blair Witch Project" was real because that's what they were told. The massive influence of the film's Internet marketing campaign cannot be underestimated. There were fake police reports, interviews, "missing" posters -- you name it.
The Blair Witch is said to be, according to legend, the ghost of Elly Kedward, a woman banished from the Blair Township (latter-day Burkittsville) for witchcraft in 1785. The directors incorporated that part of the legend, along with allusions to the Salem witch trials and Arthur Miller 's 1953 play The Crucible , to play on the themes of ...
