Actors and characters
What's left behind the scenes
- During preparation for filming the next installment of the 'Blair Witch' franchise, almost all the road signs reading 'Welcome to Burkittsville' were pre-emptively removed at the entrances to the town. After the release of the first and second films, many of these signs were stolen by fans of the franchise.
- To prevent leaks to the press about the film, some episodes were filmed in complete secrecy in Vancouver, while the first film was shot in Patapsco Valley State Park in Maryland, USA. Initially, the film was advertised under the title 'The Woods', and it wasn't until the first trailer was shown at the annual Comic Con international festival in San Diego in 2016, two months before the premiere, that the public learned it would be the third film in the 'Blair Witch' franchise.
- The footage of the first 25 seconds of the film's trailer is structured in the same way as the footage at the very beginning of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (1980), which director Adam Wingard calls his favorite film.
- To scare the actors and thus prepare them for filming, director Adam Wingard used a megaphone with a diaphragm.
- The film contains no references whatsoever to the events depicted in Joe Berlinger's "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" (2000).
- Unlike "The Blair Witch Project" (Daniel Myrick, 1999), a script was written for the third installment of the franchise.
- The events depicted in the film take place in 2014.
- Sixteen years passed between the release of Joe Berlinger's "The Blair Witch 2: The Book of Shadows" (2000) and the appearance of the third installment of the franchise.
- Director Adam Wingard stated that in "The Blair Witch" (2016), the characters use the very same camera that he used to film "You're Next" (2010), the screenplay for which (as well as the screenplays for many other works by Wingard) was written by Simon Barrett.
- The fictional corporation KPG is mentioned or present in almost all films by the creative duo of Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett. In "V/H/S 2" (2013), one of the characters has a computer eye manufactured by this corporation implanted. In "The Guest" (2013), the father of a family is fired from a position at this corporation. The logo of KPG corporation consists of three triangles forming a fourth. It can be seen in "The Blair Witch Project" (Daniel Myrick, 1999).
- Throughout the film, when the camera is turned on and off, a fleeting frame from Daniel Myrick's "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) briefly flashes on the screen. One can discern, in particular, either a hanged figure or Michael.
- According to Simon Barrett, the creature with long limbs is one of the victims of the Blair Witch, not the witch herself.
