Remember how just recently there were rumors stirring that Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard’s newest film, titled The Woods, might actually be a Blair Witch sequel in disguise? We even picked apart the poster, and tried to manipulate it into revealing the iconic stick figure from the original film. Though, we didn’t exactly nail the image (we were damn close) it turns out- WE WERE RIGHT!

Lionsgate did indeed get very sneaky on this one, and lucky San Diego Comic-Con attendees were the first to be let in on the secret during the first public screening of the film.  So, while the rest of us have to wait for September 16th to check out the long anticipated sequel in theaters, we’ll have to make do with the newest trailer and poster for the newly re-dubbed Blair Witch.

Color me impressed. Are you just as excited for Blair Witch as I am?

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.
