"Sticks" is a short story written by Karl Edward Wagner that was first published in March 1974 in a monthly horror / fantasy magazine called 'Whispers.' The story is said to be similar to The Blair Witch Project.

I'm not sure if the cover of the magazine has anything to do with the story itself, but it's certainly similar to the movie's stick figures:

If so, I'd never heard of that before. And even if it's true, no one would ever admit to it.
