The Blair Witch Project’s core trio of Heather, Mike and Josh spent the majority of the picture deep in the woods, stranded from the real world and from civilisation. As the movie went on, the three only got more and more lost as their fate became eerily clear.

In reality, the three were never really all that far from the normality of civilisation.

A large portion of The Blair Witch Project was filmed in Montgomery County, Maryland’s Seneca Creek State Park – and some of the terror-laced scenes of despair were actually shot only yards away from the safety of the wood’s edge.
