10 Horror Franchises You Didn’t Realise Were Returning In 2024
8. The Blair Witch Project
With 2016's Blair Witch sadly proving to be quite the disappointment, a new franchise entry has been badgering away for a supposed 2024 release.
Chatter of a new Blair Witch film first surfaced in the first half of 2022, but things really took a major step forward in May 2023 when Lionsgate and Haxan Films quietly brought in The Offering's Oliver Park to direct. Interestingly, Haxan is the production company of a certain Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez - as in, the minds behind the original, revolutionary, game-changing Blair Witch Project back in 1999.
Neither Myrick nor Sanchez had any notable creative input in Joe Berlinger's Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 or Adam Wingard's 2016 Blair Witch, so this should absolutely be seen as a positive step for the property.
Like certain other projects featured on this list, details on this new Blair Witch movie have been kept extremely hush-hush so far, with there at one point plans to shoot the film in the second half of last year. Whether that filming - or any filming - took place, we'll have to wait and see.
