20 Things You Didn't Know About The Blair Witch Project

7. The Trail Of Breadcrumbs

Blair Witch Project
Artisan Entertainment

While Heather, Mike and Josh were largely left to their own devices as they made their way through Seneca Creek State Park, there were still a few pointers given by filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez.

Throughout the woods, Myrick and Sanchez left individual instructions for each of the film’s core trio.

These instructions were left inside 35mm film cans in milk crates that were located via a GPS system. Inside these film cans were loose details on what the writers and directors wanted their stars to do and where they encouraged them to visit.

Still, it was then down to the actors to put their own spin on all of this as they looked to add to the unique feature that became The Blair Witch Project.

Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics. As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010.

Between his main dayjob, his role as the lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Adrienne Barbeau, Rob Zombie, Katharine Isabelle, Leigh Whannell, Bruce Campbell, and Tony Todd, to Kevin Smith, Ron Perlman, Elijah Wood, Giancarlo Esposito, Simon Pegg, Charlie Cox, the Russo Brothers, and Brian Blessed, to Kevin Conroy, Paul Dini, Tara Strong, Will Friedle, Burt Ward, Andrea Romano, Frank Miller, and Rob Liefeld, to Bret Hart, Sting, Mick Foley, Ricky Starks, Jamie Hayer, Britt Baker, Eric Bischoff, and William Regal, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, Brian Flynn, Denis Smith, Gary Bennett, Karl Connolly, and Bryan Robson - and that's just the tip of an ever-expanding iceberg.
