OK, here's your motivation. You're lost, you're angry in the woods, and no one is here to help you. There's a fucking witch and she keeps leaving shit outside your door. There's no one here to help you! She left little trinkets, you fucking took one of them, she ran after us. There's no one here to help you! We walked for 15 hours today, we ended up in the same place! There's no one here to help you, THAT'S your motivation! THAT'S YOUR MOTIVATION!

Welcome back to another episode of the Monstrous Flesh podcast. This week, Clelia and Meg journey into the eerie forests of Maryland to dissect the groundbreaking found-footage horror film, "The Blair Witch Project" (1999).

Join us as we recount the harrowing experiences of the film's characters, Heather, Mike, and Josh, and analyse the psychological dynamics that drive the story to its nerve-wracking conclusion. From the unsettling atmosphere created by the raw, handheld camera work to the haunting final scene that left audiences reeling, stick with us and we just might get you out of the woods...
