I've never seen this movie, remember when it came out but never got around to it. I'll just watch it this way with Cassie

Uncle Phoenix

That’s a great picture. (Idk what to call it.)

Celeste McAllister🍓

Love that thumbnail!!👌😍 what has to be one of the least scariest movies of the 90s,'The Mist' is a Stephen King nightmare....

Mark Vaderr

One of the best thumbnails you've ever posted!🤣🤣🤣

Edgar Gonzalez

Oh boy, here we go LOL Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

Rosario Cicero

This movie gets a surprising amount of hate. It’s baffling I tell you

William Brownlee

I know horror is big for a lot of fans, but I will be glad when we hit November. I don't watch horror. I would love to see someone react to mire of the classic monster movies. But the ones that show blood and savage death are a hard pass for me. Know Blair Witch isn't quite that type, but still a pass. Maybe, something like the Blob with Steve McQueen.

Above Average Dave

She’s wearing a toque, eh? +1 for THE MIST, Celeste!

This was one of the most brilliant marketing campaigns of the time. This film was really ground zero for the term "going viral". It was sold to the public as an actual documentary. They had all kinds of "evidence" and extras that was posted on the website before it came out. It pretty much launched the found-footage genre of films that led to movies like Cloverfield and Chronicle. It also utilized the Hitchcockian-style of filmmaking where you don't really see anything. You're left to use your imagination and that can be even more terrifying.

MGCR

I saw this as a teenager. I found it very spooky.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I know I've mentioned this before, but thought I'd mention this again. Here is a couple of retrospective documentaries on it that were made just a year or two after it's release. The first is a UK Channel 4 documentary hosted by British critic, Mark Kermode, that includes interviews with the cast and directors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nsdofj9H-8 The 2nd one is a BBC documentary series, I Love 1999, hosted by Heather Donohue herself, talking about major cultural events that happened in 1999. They discuss The Blair Witch Project (1999) at 7:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kcxsrQVVvo

I grew up in this kind of rural locale where this movie takes place and we had our share of mysterious wonderings especially about the Knupe's property which was way off this backroad and had two old cabins with two old gravestones out front. We used to go there to party and chat after school because it was abandoned and one time we went there, about seven of us, and a third gravestone had appeared next to the other teo. It was new but the date of passing on it matched the other two but the birth date was much younger, a teenager. And once we went inside one of the cabins and found a homemade poster that said Welcome Home! at the top and underneath was a drawn family of fyet holding up the Welcome Home! part like a banner but they only had eyes and noses, but no mouths. It was so creepy looking my brother dropped his beer and said, "Let's get out of here! Let's get out of here!"

Celeste McAllister🍓

The Blob is a dated low budget film,but,it's a scary movie with a 25 year old teenage McQueen and a monster no one would want to meet up with in a grocery store or a theater.🔴

Anthony Carlson

Off topic: RIP Spaceman aka Ace Frehley, cofounder and lead guitarist of KISS.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

1:36 You're the best movie reactor there is, Cassie! The movie hasn't even started and you make yourself jump!

Randy

This was passed around in VHS (part of the campaign) on campus almost six months before the movie came out. It scared a boatload of people 😂

Ria Grix

I remember seeing this at the cinema at the time and because the internet was still in its infancy the talk about this film was mostly word of mouth. I remember not being entirely sure if it was actual discovered found footage re-cut into the movie, or if it was a film in the found footage style discovered at a film festival and re-cut (better sound etc) into a movie. I like that they had to set the period in the earlier 90s due to the proliferation of mobile phones by the late 90s. The thought that three students wouldn’t have a mobile phone in 1999 was already unbelievable.

Growing up in Ireland, I really relate to the folklore aspect, even simple things like a menhir (standing stone) in your field is surrounded by folklore, and history here. My dad used to tell me not to touch it because the fairies would come out and kidnap me, which, of course, made me stay well away from the stone. So I imagine some Americans underestimate just how much folklore exists in their own country, even though the United States itself has only been around for 249 years. You’ve got Native American legends that go back thousands of years, European settler stories that mixed with local traditions, and African and Caribbean folklore, the list goes on. Every region and state has its own tales: Appalachian witches, New England ghosts, Skinwalkers in Navajo culture, and the La Llorona stories of the Southwest from Latin American folklore to name a few examples. It's one of the reasons I adore The X-Files, because it highlights so much of the folklore of the United States. The same applies to the Men in Black comics, which deal with everything supernatural and paranormal, not just aliens as the films suggest. And it’s not something a lot of people think of when they hear “the United States,” because they don’t expect a country so young to have these types of stories and folklore. Or maybe it’s because UFOs and Bigfoot overshadow everything else, people forget that there's more beyond these two. Folklore is just really interesting :)

In Middle Tennessee, we have our own folklore witch/legend, The Bell Witch. Dating from 1817, the ghost of the Bell Witch was said to haunt an Adams, TN, farmer’s family (the Bell family), particularly his young daughter. Growing up, the legend was that, if you looked in a mirror and said the Bell Witch’s name 3 times, she would appear and spirit you away. As kids, my cousin and I tried it in the bathroom mirror at his home. Not surprisingly, nothing happened. But it is one of the most well documented “hauntings” in North America and several books have been written about it. Here’s a link to a guided tour of the (in)famous Bell Witch Cave. https://www.bellwitchcave.com

I saw this movie in the theater in the middle of the day and was STILL freaked the hell out afterwards. This movie is so good at making you feel uneasy, and the way they marketed this movie, we were all half convinced this was real footage, which made it even more terrifying. It's all made up, though, no worries.

Gray

Bet that was fun making the ad, some acting roles in the future then. I wonder what the other shoppers were thinking though haha

kaiielle

I saw this comment and had to watch the ad. Very enjoyable.

Collar City Guy

And it's based on true events having been inspired by a real 1950 police report about two Philadelphia officers who saw a mysterious object fall from the sky and raced to where it came to earth and subsequently found a strange, pulsating, gelatinous mass on the ground

Collar City Guy

You 're spot on, Cassie's commercial for Thrive Market over on You Tube was quite good!

Tim Brown

Read the Wikipedia entry about this movie .

Chris Thom

Think they're called thumbnail but not sure if it applies to the bigger photos.

Chris Thom

Vaguely remember some people being pissed when they showed up at the MTV Movie Awards and revealed it was an ad campaign.

Uncle Phoenix

Thank you. I think that’s what they call them.

Big Lazy Dragon

When this movie came out, it became quite the phenomenon, with people coming out with their own parodies of the movie, such as The Dorothy Gale Project (a Wizard of Oz version) & an adult series of films called the Bare Wench Project, starring late adult film star Julie Strain in the title role as the Bare Wench. I'm fairly certain that Cassie would have zero interest in watching that parody version of this film, but there might be a few who would be interested.

🏁 🎥 🎸 💔

The YT edit didnt show the guy standing in the corner. Nice thrive market project. The list was doing nothing for no one.

Chris Thom

The p*rn parody sounded waaaay too likely. And there it is. Lol

Richard Maurer

Good reaction Cassie. And I literally lol’d during the faux Blair Witch part of the Thrive ad. And considering I rarely lol at anything, that was a major accomplishment.

Chris Thom

Looks like it was closed. Maybe she knows the manager? Actually really curious how that went down and how difficult it would be to get permission for that.

Chris Thom

Washington Irving was from the Northeast. Would imagine early settlers were maybe more superstitious and magical-thinking than many in Europe at the time (Salem Witch Trials). That Skinwalker Ranch show is pretty wild. The amalgamation of legends and supernatural and UFOs is a lot for one property. I can't stop watching that dumb a-- show but it's so addictive. Lol

Story Archer

Tossing in yet again for those who might not have seen it yet - this film is IMMEASURABLY better if you watch the companion documentary that was originally made to air with the film but later used for promotional purposes. It explains so much and adds a great deal to the viewing experience. https://www.shoots.video/video/curse-of-the-blair-witch-1999/

Chris Thom

She's been debuting some hilarious facial expressions this October. Not sure how to even describe some of them. Lol. I know you're not a fan of Scream series but there's an incredible Cassie jump scare in that vid if you haven't seen it yet.

Richard Maurer

Bob - have a local legend where I live too called the Witch’s Graveyard, which was a real place (I’ve been there 4 or 5 times). It’s a little yard with just 3 graves in the woods that surround the local reservoir. The weirdest thing about it is it’s completely surrounded by a low stone wall, with no openings, to go in you have to climb over the stone wall. And the 3 graves only have bases - no headstones. This is where the legend comes in. The story goes a group of teens drove out there one Halloween night and stole one of the headstones. On the way home they supposedly went off the road and crashed for no apparent reason, killing them all. The headstone was said to have been in the car but mysteriously disappeared later. Cool story, no verification though.

Chris Thom

Sleeping in jeans is indeed terrifying. So true, Cassie.

Richard Maurer

I’ll catch it at the poppies. I couldn’t stand wading through Scream 2 to find it.

G

Omg PLEEEEEAAASSE tell me where this top is from? I love the scalloped neckline! I will be eternally grateful! <3 Also, amazing reaction as always!

Jayson Phillips

I rem pranking my teen son that Paranormal Nightmare was actual found footage and it scared the crap out of him lol

Ignis Rændl

saw this in cinema and laughed. a lot. my gf was not amused. 🤭 blair witch is why i hated cloverfield in cinema. looking up someone's nose while something sounds scary off camera is not why i got to the movies. 😂

Clarence Newman

37:58 of the Full Reaction, Richard (the YT version is somewhat edited). Treat yourself.

Clarence Newman

Opinion seems to be split in two. Those who fell for the marketing (me, sir) love and applaud it, those who went in knowing it was fake feel contempt and think it's crap. I almost feel sorry for those who had the experience spoiled for them, because if you think it's real, it really is a trip.

Clarence Newman

In the lead up to October, when it was suggested that Blair Witch might be watched, I was so hoping that Cassie would be able to go in blind without having the truth of it spoiled for her. There were quite a few comments that did that, but the camerawork and ad-libbed dialogue was so ingenious, it put enough doubt in her mind early, that she was able to experience it the right way. If I'd known ahead of time that the whole thing was fake, I would probably have scoffed at it too, but for the unique cinematic experience it gave me, I'm real glad I didn't.

Clarence Newman

I'm up for any Steve McQueen film. We should ease in with Bullitt, Papillon, The Cincinnati Kid and Towering Inferno, then see how we go from there.

Clarence Newman

Vaguely on-topic, my favourite book about haunting when I was a kid was "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" by Dennis Wheatley. He wrote "The Devil Rides Out" and "To The Devil a Daughter", both of which were made into films.

Clarence Newman

She's a very natural actress and has good comedic timing. She can also dance because she's done some little bits on videos now and then (she did clog dancing for 4 years). Carly can dance too. As for persuading the supermarket manager to let her do the bit in there, who could resist that face? I remember her saying that she used to get pulled over by the cops a lot and was *very good* at talking her way out of a ticket.

Clarence Newman

I remember having conversations last October that labelled The Mist as "too much" for Cassie. 12 months later, it's well within her range.

Clarence Newman

You're only hurting yourself now. We're talking epic double whammy jumpscare that will be talked about for years.

Clay F

Creative, especially at the time. Admittedly, I didn't really give it a chance back then. Her reaction to True Detective S1 is excellent.

Clay F

I went to watch the ad when I saw this thread. Good and funny. She is good at performing.

Richard Maurer

Now you’ve over-hyped it. If I watch it now I’ll be like “This is what all the fuss is about?”.

Clarence Newman

Not at all! Ali knocking Foreman out in Zaire. Will Smith slapping the shit out of Chris Rock at the Oscars. Evel Knieval wiping out on the landing ramp in Las Vegas. This is merely the reaction jumpscare equivalent.

Richard Maurer

Too late, now you’ve ruined it for me. Cassie Jump scare spoiler alert.

CJ Holden

When I saw the movie back in the days on VHS, therefore when the "Is it real?" mystery had been long spoiled, it did not work for me at all. I thought it was boring and ridiculous. HOWEVER, when I went to bed that night, I was suddenly really scared when I started to think of all that stuff, like the story of that creepy woman covered in hair,all those noises at night and of course the ending. Also completely random: The first time that I had ever heard of it was in an interview with director Vincenzo Natali, who was just making a name for himself with CUBE, who seemed to be aware that it was fake, but still called it one of the scariest things he saw in a while, after he caught it at a festival.

Joe J

At least Cassie entertained us with a funny Ad, the movie sucked so bad.

Joe J

Whoa...has she been faking reactions all this time? Is she that good?😆

Richard Maurer

Watching the YouTube edit with Cassie made in seem more effective as a horror film to me than it would were I watching the whole movie myself. I think editing out a lot of the more boring early parts helped. And Cassie’s obvious fear helped too, made it seem scarier than it actually was to me in the past.

Jens Kristensen

Great reaction! The ending is still eerie as heck...

Mark Vaderr

"The Mist" is great. It would be a tough one for Cassie.

Mark Vaderr

I knew that it was just a movie when it was released in theaters, and I loved it.

Mark Vaderr

I'm all for more classic monster movies, and Cassie has said that she wants to see more movies like that. All the Universal classic monster movies. The Val Lewton thrillers of the 1940's. The creature features of the 1950's.

Rosario Cicero

Yeah I don’t see how liking this film hinges on the viewer being unsure if it’s real or not

Celeste McAllister🍓

She's had some hard watches this year,'The Passion of the Christ' being the most emotional reaction I've seen her get through,'The Shining' a couple of years ago was rough,'The Mist' that's Stephen King playing on some major phobias,we got her six! Something special for Cassie the next live unboxing if she watches it....

Rick Moreno

Thanks for this reaction, Cassie. I saw this movie on opening night in the theater, and the internet hype around it was huge, and made it seem very real. It's nice to see that even without all that viral marketing, it still remains an effective scary movie without ever once showing us the "monster" and instead letting us gradually become terrified with the protagonists. Hopefully you've had a chance to look into the making of this one, as you'll have found that a lot of the film was ad-libbed, and in some cases, the actors' reactions to things happening around them were totally genuine.

Clay F

Yeah, that ending.

Tim C

I seen this at the Thearter with my 15 yr old nephew. It was marketed as real footage found.And real.Later found out it was cheap movie to make and made millions but not real ! It was more intense when you thought it was real. After it was like Lam ! Was promoted well .

Chris Thom

Think it was the most profitable movie in history for a decade or so.

Clay F

Cole Jennett

Blair Witch has about 8k more views than The Fly at the same stage. So far Carrie is about half way in between the 2. None of which are on the pace of even the least viewed GOT reaction. I think that may change soon with Train to Busan and Final Destination though.

Joe J

Views are just down overall in 2025. Many reactor channels living with much smaller views now.

Clay F

Good point. Comparing views today to views 1-2 years ago is apples and oranges. The views I posted above for comparison to each other are all in 2025. So, apples and apples.
