Happy Halloween, (Blair) Witches!

Do you like scary movies? 

This week, we're talking about the next chapter in the Blair Witch saga and the next phases of its evolution (the witch is back!) 

But before we go into the lasting impact of the 1999 film and its marketing strategy, we want to share some of the LEAST successful movie marketing stunts of all time with you.

The original Blair Witch episode starts at around 15:12 and ends at roughly 72:54

Have a BOO-tiful HAlloween, Gisteners!
