Listen "The Blair Witch Project with Kit Whitfield"
Episode Synopsis
Joel and Chris are delighted to be joined by author and folk horror enthusiast Kit Whitfield to put The Thing into the 1999 found footage movie, The Blair Witch Project.Overrated? Underrated? Just about accurately rated? Our extensive discussion covers the film's creation and aftermath, as well as its impact on horror films and the rise and fall of fake found footage. Also...the plot?We also discuss folk horror and the crossover between folk stories and urban legends. And whether aliens are the modern faeries. And also puppets, low budgets and the real world impact of fake documentaries. We get a little...lost in the woods.Kit Whitfield's latest book All The Hollow Of The Sky is now available in paperback and you should definitely read it.Kit Whitfield | Hachette UKSign up to our Patreon for monthly bonus episodes patreon.com/JustTheThingPodcast Find us on social media https://linktr.ee/justthethingpod Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio
