Summary

In 1994, three filmmakers disappeared. THEY’RE BACK! Lionsgate and Blumhouse are teaming up for a new BLAIR WITCH movie, but Heather, Mike, and Josh have some unfinished business. Literal business. It’s complicated, but we’ll make it real simple, and then do one FINAL* dive into some lesser-known franchise releases: Shadow of the Blair Witch, Blair Witch Files, Graveyard Sift…and some weird toys!
