When a tie-in book to The Blair Witch Project to was called for by Artisan and publisher Onyx, author Dave Stern came up with a brilliant idea: rather than doing a standard novelization, they would further the deceitful marketing premise stating that the film's events actually happened by providing a collection of every last bit of information out there on the student filmmakers, on the city of Burkittsville, and, of course, on the Blair Witch herself.

  • When a tie-in book to The Blair Witch Project to was called for by Artisan and publisher Onyx, author Dave Stern came up with a brilliant idea: rather than doing a standard novelization, they would further the deceitful marketing premise stating that the film's events actually happened by providing a collection of every last bit of information out there on the student filmmakers, on the city of Burkittsville, and, of course, on the Blair Witch herself. The result was The Blair Witch Project: A Dossier, which takes all of the information from the website BlairWitch.com, combines it with a number of the personalities from the documentary Curse of the Blair Witch (along with a smorgasbord of new info), and cements it in print form. The comprehensiveness of this book cannot be overstated – it is more of an encyclopedia, indexing progress reports from private investigator Buck Buchanan to Angie Donahue (Heather’s mother, and his client) and collecting photographs of the various crime scenes. It’s like having a Blair Witch-specific Wikipedia (such as this one) right there on your book shelf. The real treat here, however, is the reproduction of Heather’s journal from the website, a running commentary actually written by the actress herself during the film shoot that contains the aforementioned bombshell twist not mentioned in the film itself: Heather was sending energy out to the Blair Witch well before she and her student colleagues set foot in the woods, hoping to coax the ghost out in order to document her on film. This not only adds an extra dimension to the film, it also turns the now-iconic “I’m sorry” scene on its head.
