Xbox Game Passengers 016 – ‘Blair Witch’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

After John’s disappointing reaction (read: not being that scared) to Alien: Isolation in Episode 14, with the release of Bloober Team’s Blair Witch we simply had to break the rules, actually choose a game for the very first time, and bring him back to hopefully scare the shit out of him.

We think that breaking the rules was worth it. Listen below to find out how things went.

It’s 1996. A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods…

Get Claustrophobic With The Latest ‘Blair Witch’ TV Spot!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just ten. more. days.

Lionsgate has just debuted a freaky, claustrophobic as hell new TV Spot for it’s upcoming Blair Witch film.

In the movie, a group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

Blair Witch hits theatres on September 16th, and we can’t wait to check it out. Watch the spot below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited!

Watch Two TV Spots For Next Month’s ‘Blair Witch’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Anyone else weirdly excited for this one and have no idea why? No? Just me?

Lionsgate has just debuted two new TV spots for next month’s Blair Witch, and they’re freaky as hell. One of the videos even has a cool 360-degree option, which is certainly a feature that I hope more promotional videos utilize in the future.

SDCC 2016: Adam Wingard’s ‘The Woods’ Is Actually A New ‘Blair Witch’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’ve all been punked.

Adam Wingard’s The Woods, which has been garnering major (positive) buzz all around the internet, is not the film that it’s been pretending to be.

It’s actually a new Blair Witch film.

Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

It’s tough to know just why Lionsgate would have kept this under wraps for so long, but the internet is absolutely blowing up about it, which is like a huge, probably inexpensive way to market the film. In any case, it’s interesting as hell reveal, and I can’t wait to hear more about it.
