‘The Blair Witch Project’ Is Getting a Snazzy New Blu-Ray and VHS Release
A new Blair Witch Project is coming in 2027, which we’re definitely curious about. But no matter what that movie ends up being like, we’ll always be most partial to the 1999 original. The VHS is more of a collector’s item, but what a cool thing to have on display; the “horror” video-store sticker is a nice touch.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
A new Blair Witch Project is coming in 2027, which we’re definitely curious about. But no matter what that movie ends up being like, we’ll always be most partial to the 1999 original. Lionsgate understands that many horror fans feel this way and are leaning into those lost-in-the-woods-with-a-camcorder frights by releasing a new VHS edition of the film. (In case you don’t have a functional VCR in 2026, and you want a bunch of special features not included on the VHS, there’s also a Blu-ray version coming too.) Pre-orders are open now for both versions, which release October 13. The VHS is more of a collector’s item, but what a cool thing to have on display; the “horror” video-store sticker is a nice touch.
