At the time you werent sure if it would, but thought maybe an art-house theatre might screen it. Well, it sure did show in Hawaii, and everywhere else. I watched it the weekend before I was going on a camping trip, off grid style. We arrived at Kalalau, Kauai on a friday after a 11 mile hike. We arrived exhausted at around 5 pm. Kalalau is a valley that where ancient Hawaiians once settled. There are burial sites made of up of rock piles here and there. I thought it'd be funny to build BW stick-men and hang them outside our tent to freak out a friend who'd also seen the movie. I built a mini rock pile at the entry of the tent too. We both got a good laugh outta it. Yup, pretty funny when the sun is still up. Wasn't quite as funny at midnight. We ditched the tents, sure that 'something' was in the woods, and slept on the beach, in a cave actually. That sleepless weekend confirmed for me that The Blair Witch Project was the scariest movie I'd ever seen, hands down. It left an indelible impression on anyone who saw it. To wrap my rambling, I just wanted to say that someone capable of making a horror movie like Blair Witch, definitely has the talent and insight to scare the hell out of us again. Best of luck, Warren Hello Ed,
