However, village officials later apologized to the film makers for the lack of hospitality. As the movie moved from theaters to home video to memory, the torrent of visitors slowed to a trickle. But the Blair Witch saga has hardly ended. And once again, Burkittsville is portrayed in a blurring of fact and fiction. They go out in the woods with cameras.
Bad stuff happens.
Actors portray Burkittsville citizens talking about the troublesome visitors and chasing off Blair Witch fanatics. This time, though, there is a stand-in Burkittsville cemetery with an iron gate that doesn't exist in the real graveyard. The sequel was shot elsewhere. But Burkittsville and Blair Witch are still entwined in the imaginations of movie-goers and an online community of followers. We don't discourage them from coming.
