Summary:

"Have you ever heard of the Blair Witch? This simple question captivated moviegoers in the summer of 1999. From the start, The Blair Witch Project was an unconventional idea that evolved into a theatrical experience never seen before. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, Haxan Films carefully crafted a mythology that immersed the viewer in a world of mysterious occurrences and unexplained phenomenon. Now, for the first time, the complete story behind the making of The Blair Witch Project will be told. From conceptualization, to the world wide phenomenon, 8 Days in the Woods tells the story of how first time filmmakers from UCF revolutionized a sub-genre of horror films that is still felt today. Containing interviews from cast and crew, including over 20 individuals who helped bring The Blair Witch Project to life--many who have never been interviewed before. With over 150 photographs and documents, 8 Days in the Woods is the definitive history about a film that is still terrifying audiences to this day."--Page 4 of cover
