Even before its high-profile sale to Artisan Entertainment at Sundance this year, the buzz about The Blair Witch Project had been growing steadily. But unlike so many movies that have attracted wide pre-release hype—and especially unlike so many modern, irony-driven horror movies—it actually delivers what it promises. The less said (and read) about the film the better, as The Blair Witch Project —marketed as the found footage of three fledgling (and missing) filmmakers who travel into the Maryland woods in search of the (possibly) fictional Blair Witch—plays more powerfully the greater the mystery surrounding it. With that in mind, you may want to wait to read this interview until after you've seen the film, though it gives away less than most reviews have. That said, co-writers, co-directors, and co-editors Dan Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez talked to The Onion about the novel nature of their film, the problem with today's horror movies, and the recipe for pure terror.

Bell Witch
Sissy Spacek In the spirit of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, here comes another PG-13 horror flick about a girl getting possessed by demons. Sporting Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek in the cast and supposedly based on "true events validated by the State of Tennessee as the only case in US history where a spirit has caused the death of a human being," this is a well-packaged film that arrives like a nicely wrapped Christmas present, full of promise and potential.

Paranormal Activity Story - The haunted history of 'Paranormal Activity'
Steven Spielberg was certain his copy of "Paranormal Activity" was haunted. It was early 2008, and the director's DreamWorks studio was trying to decide whether it wanted to be a part of the micro-budgeted supernatural thriller. As the story goes, Spielberg had taken a "Paranormal Activity" DVD to his Pacific Palisades estate, and not long after he watched it, the door to his empty bedroom inexplicably locked from the inside, forcing him to summon a locksmith. For The Record Los Angeles Times Sunday, September 20, 2009 Home Edition Main News Part A Page 4 National Desk 1 inches; 24 words Type of Material: Correction 'Paranormal Activity': An article in today's Calendar about the film "Paranormal Activity" misspelled the last name of DreamWorks production executive Ashley Brucks as Brooks.

US President Andrew Jackson is also reported to have challenged Kate and to have retreated out of fear.

Origins: What is seen as an unusually large number of deaths have occurred among the former cast of the Poltergeist trilogy. This occurrence has given rise to the rumor that the productions were in some way "cursed" due to the nature of the films themselves, as if the evil spirits conjured up in the make-believe world of the cinema have since reached out into the real world to claim what they might see as their rightful victims.
