The cast had to walk away from the "set" and find a local cabin to make a phone call back to the directors (Donahue was assigned the task, as the other actors felt she was the least intimidating to a stranger). Donahue felt that actors shouldn't have to deal with such conditions, and radioed the safe word to the directors. They set up their own tents and found they were filling with water. It was raining on the day in question, and the actors were cold and miserable. If the actors ever felt that they were in danger, or were uncomfortable to the point of wanting to stop filming, the cast merely needed to say "Bulldozer." The actors also had to play some incredibly intense scenes of fear and anger, and if the scene got too intense, or the yelling perhaps began to feel a little bit too real, they could use the safe word " taco."ĭonahue, however, recalls the one time the safe word was used didn't work. "The Blair Witch Project" was a prank of the highest order, and an amazing horror film to boot.īut everyone played safe, even to the point of having a safe word. There were also tie-in mockmentaries, meant to grow the myth of the Blair Witch, leading some visitors of the website to conclude that it was actually real. On it, the filmmakers perpetuated rumors that "The Blair Witch Project" was real, that the subjects of the film had really died, and that the footage had indeed been found and edited together after the fact. well, that should remain hidden for those who haven't yet seen it.Ī big reason for the film's success can be attributed to its marketing, most notably, the then-novel use of its website,. They heard eerie noises at night, and a mysterious unseen figure hung effigies around their tents, and left them little bundles that contained. Directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, "The Blair Witch Project" was shot in a documentary style, and purported to be the real footage of real people who actually got lost in the woods and who perhaps encountered the bizarre supernatural leavings of a real witch.
