The town of Burkittsville was founded on the site in 1824, and over the next two hundred years a series of strange disappearances plagued the town: Nevertheless, in 1809 a book titled The Blair Witch Cult was published about the incident, though conveniently enough, only a single, badly-damaged copy still exists, in the hands of a private collector. Over the next two years, half of the town's children, including all of Kedward's accusers, vanished, and by the end of 1786 the remaining townsfolk, deciding that Kedward had cursed the town, abandoned it and vowed never to speak her name again. She was found guilty of witchcraft and banished from the town of Blair, presumably dying of exposure in the harsh winter.

Williams, and Joshua Leonard, ventured to the town of Burkittsville, Maryland (formerly known as Blair) to produce a documentary about a local legend, the Blair Witch.

While it doesn't currently have a ton of epic genre classics-like The Shining or Halloween-it more than makes up for it with an absolute plethora of underrated, lesser seen, indie-leaning horror flicks. When it comes to horror movies, Hulu may just be the best streaming platforms for real fans of the genre.
