3/3. It’s entirely likely that someone else came along later and unwittlingly purchased the same camera The Blair Witch Project was filmed on and never had any idea. It’s probably sitting in some suburban dad’s closet right now. I think that’s wild!

2/3. While this is an extremely cool story about low-budget indie filmmaking, lost in that story is something I think is way cooler…

1/3. One of the infamous stories about the making of The Blair Witch Project is that one of the cameras used by the actors was bought at Circuit City and they returned it after filming for a refund to help lower their overall budget.

Don’t miss the moment on this week’s episode (31m50s) where @Merrigunz claims that he would let @ScareAlex and @necromandrea choose any version of an embarrassing mustache for him if @FacultyofHorror would do a guest spot on the pod. #facultyofhorror podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fil…

@salemhorrorfest Yeah, but which one is the clown?

🤡🎈

That thing where @itismitchell gets mentioned on the recent @WHMPodcast episode and I exclaim “hell yeah!” at top volume while alone in my car. #letterboxd #WHM

@samvanhallgren FKTDUDE

Tell me a favorite movie using license plate format. Seven digits. The catch? No movie titles, only movie quotes. 4GTITJK

@GiantsTodd @samvanhallgren Sam Van dropping truth bombs, as always.

Spot on, @samvanhallgren

@filmspotting @LarsenOnFilm I saw THE PEOPLE’S JOKER at the incredible @salemhorrorfest last weekend and it Does. Not. Disappoint. I’m thrilled to see @thepeoplesjoker get Golden Brick consideration!

Hey, I wrote this!

@_biancajean_ @BillyRayBrewton When they invent a time machine, you can forget the Gettysburg Address or whatever, I’m going back to ‘99 and going to see The Blair Witch Project with Bianca!

@BillyRayBrewton I remember going opening weekend by myself because no one else I knew wanted to go. Except I didn’t know it was fake and fell for the marketing hook, line & sinker. What a time!

Getting to chat with @SuzanneCRomero about The Amusement Park was such a delight! Just one of the many reasons @salemhorrorfest is the best horror

@kinky_horror @NoKimOnlyZuul 💯

@NoKimOnlyZuul I did, too!!!

It’s baffling to me how many people don’t get that Joe Bob and I are literally besties. He tells me to pick on him on the show bc he thinks it’s funny. If you think I’m “mean” to him take it up w him and tell him to change his format. (Goodness knows I’ve tried to 20 Ducktrillion times… 😜) @therealjoebob

Howdy friends! Give a listen.

Hey @LarsenOnFilm @filmspotting! Friendly neighborhood brain nerd here! Josh’s bit about musical nostalgia in ep 961 is spot on. We process music in the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that handles emotional memory. It’s why music is so powerful for those with dementia.

@TrippBurton13 Might go Hitchcock: Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho. Rob Reiner might have 4: Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery.

Bogdanovich: Last Picture Show, What’s Up Doc, Paper Moon

@filmspotting You’re doing the lord’s work, sir.

Single-handedly raised ROAD HOUSE ‘89’s RT score from 41% to 43%. So I guess I can call it a week.
