Blair Witch: Book of Shadows
IN OCTOBER 1994, THREE STUDENT FILMMAKERS DISAPPEARED
IN THE WOODS NEAR BURKITTSVILLE, MARYLAND,
WHILE SHOOTING A DOCUMENTARY... FIVE YEARS LATER, THE FILM THEY SHOT BECAME
ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE MOTION PICTURES IN HISTORY.
People across America were stunned by the runaway success of "The Blair Witch Project(TM) " -- none more so than the residents of Burkittsville. Suddenly the little western Maryland farming village was flooded with tourists seeking mementos of the fabled Blair Witch. Road signs disappeared, backpackers clogged local hiking trails, graveyards filled with enthusiasts trying for a firsthand glimpse of the supernatural.
While most Burkittsville residents -- in particular Sheriff Ron Cravens -- were angered by this wave of visitors, others took a more pragmatic approach. Like Jeff Patterson, who started up a business called the Blair Witch Hunt. At first, Patterson simply sold caps, T-shirts, and coffee mugs over the Internet. Then he decided to lead a group of four tourists into the Black Hills himself.
If you saw the film "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, " you know what happened to Jeff Patterson, Kim Diamond, Stephen Ryan Parker, Tristen Ryler, and Erica Geerson.
BUT YOU ONLY KNOW HALF THE STORY UNTIL YOU READ THIS BOOK.
Compiled with the aid of noted paranormal journalist D.A. Stern, the material gathered herein reveals:
The secrets hidden in Jeff Patterson's troubled past The research Stephen and Tristen conducted for their book "The Blair Witch: Hysteria or History?" The eerie similarity between the Blair Witch and the little-known seventheenth-century legend of Bloody Sam Caine The genesis of the Blair Witch HuntPhotos and news reports relating to the case

Despite Blair Witch 2:Book of shadows being one of the, if not the worst horror movie I've ever seen, I love this type of book (The Blair Witch Dossier and Shadows in the Abyss are a couple of my favorites). It's a fun book to read and not to take seriously but I can see why there aren't more books in this style.

This is the first Blair Witch tie-in I've read and it was seriously creepy. Lots of back story on the characters in the sequel, and much eerie "evidence" of something evil living in those woods. Definitely interesting for anyone interested in learning more about the very detailed Blair Witch mythology. Man, those guys really went all out in creating the back story. Makes re-watching the films even more fulfilling and scary.
