It’s a Found Footage Documentary Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey get into really heated arguments in the middle of the woods!

The Classic Film: The Blair Witch Project (1999)
"Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind” (IMDb.com). This film got strong reactions from audiences (and our hosts), and changed the landscape of horror cinema for over a decade, whether we like it or not.

The Modern Film: Hell House LLC (2015)
"Five years after an unexplained malfunction causes the death of 15 tour-goers and staff on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour (Hell House), a documentary film crew visits the scene of the tragedy to investigate what really happened that night” (IMDb.com). Despite coming towards the end of the glut of found footage films over the past two decades, this small, independent project has been the darling of some horror fan circles. We can see why, even if it does make Chris irrationally angry.
