Factual error: In the beginning of the movie when they are in the hotel room they are drinking Killian's beer. However, the label on the Killian's bottle was a new style label. When the movie was supposedly shot the Killlian's would have had the old style label.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Plot summary
Starring: Joshua Leonard, Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams, Bob Griffin
Three college students go away for a weekend to make a documentary about the myth of the Blair Witch which has haunted some woods in Birkettsville and supposedly killed children many years ago. They interview Birkettsville residents and collect different accounts of the Blair Witch. Eventually they go into the woods themselves armed with a map, a tent and a couple of camcorders, (all the action is filmed on camcorder). After spending a night in the woods, the next day they all report hearing strange things during the previous night but put it down to animals etc. As the day progresses they find strange objects hanging in the trees, and weird rock formations.They eventually lose the map and are lost so set up camp again. Eventually after many strange, unnerving goings on, one of the three disappears. Eventually after scaring themselves shitless they come across a house which appears to be derelict, on going inside looking for the lost group member, they discover childrens hand prints all over. After realising they are not alone they get killed and the footage of their weekend is found a year later (which is the film you have just watched or about to watch)
More mistakes in The Blair Witch Project
Heather Donahue: I tell you guys, two more hours max.
Trivia: The first time they filmed the part with Josh's teeth and flannel in the sticks, the directors had left it outside the tent, not telling Heather. When she got up in the morning, she picked up the bundle of sticks and threw them off to the side without looking at it. They had to contact her and re-shoot it.
Question: Why is Mike standing in the corner? Is he kept alive to be standing?

Chosen answer: During the beginning interviews with the townspeople, the one guy tells how the killer, Parr, would make his victims stand in the corner as he killed the other kids. He didn't like the way they would look at him, so he made them stand in the corner.
