The link in the first post doesn't work anymore. But the actual magazine can be found on eBay if anyone wants it.

I always thought that they came up with "shadow" and the dossier and then decided to reedit bw2 to more fit with the added material, to make the whole package work so to speak. Now it shows that it was more straight forward. Artisan, "This doesn't work! We have to make changes to the film!" Then they marketed the hell out of it, just like with bwp, and probably thought that they would - just like before - make a lot of money.
It's so funny, "curse" and "shadow" I see as huge parts of the overall story (just like the dossiers) but in the end they where just marketing for the movie(s).

There isn't even a darn book in the whole movie? What book of shadows?

"Book of Shadows" - kind of like a really messed up and confusing "story of shadows" .. if you will.
or .. "experience of shadows".
..
There is no literal Book of Shadows, except in the original teaser trailer where Erica was looking through Jeff's mental history, Burkittsville's history, and Jeff's new tour group.
Also, Jeff had written a screenplay for what he wanted a BWP sequel to be,
and named it "The Book of Shadows".

Also, Jeff had written a screenplay for what he wanted a BWP sequel to be, and named it "The Book of Shadows". Though it should be noted that that piece of Jeff's history was not exactly created until after the movie had been made, so it is still a revisionist addendum (in relation to there being no Book of Shadows in Book of Shadows, at least). |

It's from Shadow of the Blair Witch, which I believe was released on television just prior to Book of Shadows hitting theaters. But even then it doesn't matter because the two don't exist in the same reality (the movie and the mocumentary) That Book of Shadows dossier is a companion to Shadow of the Blair Witch, while the movie stands alone. so confusing ..  |

It's from Shadow of the Blair Witch, which I believe was released on television just prior to Book of Shadows hitting theaters. But even then it doesn't matter because the two don't exist in the same reality (the movie and the mocumentary) Yes, but even then, it was not created until after the movie had been mostly fleshed out (if not already shot), and outside of the dossier and the mocumentary, there is no mention of a book even from cast and crew who talked of the film, hence why I called it revisionist in relation to said movie. That Book of Shadows dossier is a companion to Shadow of the Blair Witch, while the movie stands alone. so confusing .. Interestingly enough, I think the dossier is a companion piece to the movie moreso than the mockumentary. It references characters and directly from the movie, taking different paths than the Sci Fi TV special that went with a more 'realistic' approach in the the families of those involved wished not to be shown and a different actor was used to portray Jeff since it is going with the 'reenactment' angle for the movie. If the dossier was more linked with the mockumentary, I would think it would have used the actor from the TV special in images of Jeff his image was not blurred, while almost everyone else's was), and not used nearly as many images of the movie actors (think of the headshots of Tristen and Stephen used in the book) if it was not linked to that more. |

Ok then.
That dossier is a companion and expansion to the movie and mocumentary.
But how can they all be in the same exact universe? The dossier screwed everything up then. Because the movie is specifically a reenactment.
Whatever. None of it makes any real sense.

Whatever. None of it makes any real sense. Unfortunately, that is it exactly. Too many cooks in the kitchen. While the movie comes with a 'reenactment' warning at the beginning (something I was never fond of, even if it was at the behest of the director), the dossier ignores this little tidbit entirely and presents everything to us as if the movie we watched and the characters we experienced it with were all real (which I really liked). Aside from that, the dossier can exist in the exact same universe as the movie because it treats itself as an extension of it. The mocumentary, though, is another matter entirety. |

Ok then (again)
From now on it's official: we will all forever ignore the reenactment intro title thing. Yaay!

But now that means that Shadow of the Blair Witch is the odd man out.  |
