About this episode
This week we're grabbing our video cameras and heading into the woods of Burkittsville for the groundbreaking found-footage horror film, The Blair Witch Project!
We'll talk about how this low-budget 1999 chiller terrified a generation, the genius of its minimalist marketing, and the sheer, raw panic of watching three film students slowly lose their grip in the face of an unseen terror. Get ready for close-ups, snot, and terrifying sounds in the dark.
And to steady our nerves before that infamous ending, we're mixing up The Black Eyed Stickman, a chilling cocktail riff from our friends at Geeks Who Eat! This drink features a potent blend of Vodka and Bourbon shaken with Lemon Juice, St. Germain, and a dash of Simple Syrup and bitters. It's a complex, boozy mix that's as disorienting as a night lost in the woods
So, settle in, dim the lights, and try not to think about that terrifying corner as we raise a glass to The Blair Witch Project!
