(Screaming) Josh!
:00:43
I'm Kurt Loderwith MTV news.
The film is The Blair Witch Project.
:00:47
One of the scariest films
of all time...
:00:50
I was terrified.
Oh, it scared me to death...
:00:53
It all started with light heart
and the there documentary filmmakers...
:00:56
...armed with a 16mm camera
and a video camcorder...
:00:59
...head into the Black Hills forests
of Maryland...
:01:02
...to make a movie
about a legendary witch...
:01:04
...and they're never heard from again.
:01:06
There's no doubt about of the box-office
success on The Blair Witch Project.
:01:09
Whas not clear
is whether the legend is true.
:01:13
So far the fans are not only flocking
to the multiplex...
:01:15
...they are flowing the little town
Burkittsville, Maryland.
:01:18
People have started coming
to Burkittsville...
:01:22
...as if itwere Charles Manson's
The Spahn Ranch...
:01:26
...or Ed Gein the serial Killer's house,
to visit a haunted place.
:01:30
"Burkittsville isn't a haunted place."
:01:33
"Is a place that a fictional movie
was set in."
:01:35
I wasn't able to see the movie...
:01:37
...when it came out, because I was...
:01:39
...in the hospital.
:01:41
But as soon as they let me out...
:01:43
I was at the movie theatre
seventeen times in a row.
:01:47
The web-site sold me.
The web-site, you know...
:01:50
...has all these police photos...
:01:53
...and official police things...
:01:56
...all this information...
:01:57
...you really believe it.
:01:58
Our stick men sold so well
on the internet...
