The Blair Witch Project and The Witch (I swear I have nothing against witches in general)

I didn’t watch any horror films growing up, and Blair Witch was one the first horror movies I saw. I was 16 and we watched it in a college media class. It scared the fuck out of me. Slept with a nightlight on for a week afterward.

You're not alone; one of my besties went to see it in the second week it was released knowing very little about it and literally called me in the middle of the night completely freaked out. Fortunately one of those celeb tab shows was on that showed the cast at the opening was on and I was like "turn on channel 7 to this show, they're still alive, see?" even with that it still took him a bit to calm down, lol.

I grew up watching horror movies but somehow never watched Blair Witch. I decided to watch it a few months ago and thought it was very meh.

I hated the VVitch so much. I remember coming home from the theatre and coming into ONTD to read a post about it, ready to join the bitching. To my surprise everyone loved it here and I was so confused

I always feel you have to watch Blair Witch in the dark with no distractions (but then found footage always scares me more than glossier horror)
