Will Sigourney Weaver EVER stop being so damn cool?

"In October of 19994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland while shooting a documentary... A year later, their footage was found." Guerrilla filmmaking, Russian ballet, traumatic camping, Snake Oil Salesmen, medieval swingers, Orson Welles, pre-internet Hollywood, Rumpelstiltskin, cannibalism, witchcraft, mass hysteria, and the little film that would change everything... It's finally here, folks! The Blair Witch Project.

Hi there, my name is Sarah Ruthless and I’m launching a podcast where I share all my thoughts and feelings about film & television! The premiere episode is now available: every Saturday I’ll be featuring a new episode on one of 31 spooky, Halloween-related films that I’ve never seen before. Join me as I break down the cultural impacts of the genre, including its history with folklore, religion, feminism, and more. And just 24 hours after the release of the trailer for The Witches (2020) remake, I dive into the 1990 original based on Roald Dahl's legendary classic.
