"As the Millennium approached, horror was becoming an unusual commodity. Low budget horror films flooded the home video market while their big budget counterparts took hold at the box office. It seemed that a balance could not be found that would please everyone. In the final months of 1999, horror was saved by a film that became a turning point in many aspects including film production, film marketing and film distribution. One film was a revelation of cinema which shook the world at the time and created such panic and fear that the effects of the film can still be felt today. Film-maker Russ Gomm takes a look at the phenomena of The Blair Witch Project through the eyes of a fan who was captivated by the unusual promotional strategy that led up to the release. This book takes a trip back in time to the 1990s to uncover the history of the production of the film including a unique making of and its path to success. Through conversations with fellow fans, filmmakers and other industry professionals, the book also examines the lasting effect that this seminal film had on not only the audiences, but the film industry itself and indeed the future of the horror genre" www.amazon.com/Blair-Witch-Project-Russell-Gomm/dp/0993306039/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497609471&sr=8-1&keywords=blair+witch+project+book |

Its all thoughts and anecdotes of people about the film. |

My copy arrived yesterday! It’s a really interesting read into the production of the movie and the people behind it but it’s a pretty tiny book - I was surprised just how short it was, took about 45mins to read the thing  |

Nice one dude, really liked your segment -very reminiscent of my first time watching Blair witch at the cinema!
I ordered it direct from Arrow about I guess nearly a year ago-ish, then all mention of it and the preorder just vanished from their site.
Messaged them a few months ago to see what the deal was and they told me it was still on, and out of the blue it appeared on my doormat yesterday.
I hope you’re getting a copy sent through for contributing - feels a bit rude getting mine first lol.

I've seen that artwork on a t-shirt. Or something very close.

i think the design was fan made and i'm sure the amazon listing is a shirt lifted from someone's artwork and stolen and for sale. I see it a lot and it sucks, especially because thats great artwork and I hope the listing is by the original artist.

Finally managed to grab this book. Despite Amazon UK trying to sell it for £24 and saying it's only 40 pages, I saw it a DVD chain store here for £8 and it's an easy 100 pages. I'd say it's a great little read as Russ Gomm really portrays himself as a pure Blair fan so it should resonate with all us.
