For the record, I am able to rewatch Blair Witch and recapture what I felt when I first watched it. But, as I said, I have a Heather Donahue thing going. And local lore, as well. Burkittsville remains a neat place... Especially if you go up old US 40 and then cut over towards it using back roads from the Reno Monument area. The entire ride is this forlorn Stephen King sort of thing. And, with the movie in mind, you can go tromp around in the woods.
Also, there's a Gravity Hill there. They call it Spook Hill, just out on Gapland Rd. Supposedly Union soldiers forever cursed to push a cannon up the hill, and they'll do the same for your car. Gravity hills tend to be just as much pish-posh, but Spook Hill is fun.
In terms of hating Blair Witch, I will say that it ruined the joy of the little-known Spook Hill. I've never seen a movie piss off a town as bad as that one did. Those retarded hillbillies can't take a joke. So now you can't go sit at Spook Hill without some yokel storming out at you. Shame, as most gravity hills are either commercialized or tough to work around in terms of traffic and locals.
