Alternate versions for
The Blair Witch Project (1999) More at IMDbPro »

• In October 2001, the FX Network aired this with "never-before-seen footage". This turned out to be a few segments spliced into the closing credits of Heather videotaping Mike saying goodbye to his friends and family, and Heather admitting culpability for the week's occurrences. Mike firmly states that it is not her fault, which is referenced in Heather's later confession to the camera in the theatrical version. Also, all profanities are overdubbed, especially a really bad "let's go" over Heather saying "f**k you" to Josh as he berates her about being lost and hunted on the dusk before he is taken away.
  
  
• "Newly discovered footage" was shown online on Amazon.com. It's basically Heather and Michael arguing more about the project. Amazon.com says the footage won't be available on the DVD or anywhere else.
  
  
• More "Newly Discovered Footage" was included on the video/DVD release. It's basically the trio recollecting on the noises they heard, and their feelings about the project altogether. This scene was supposed to take place right before the scene where the "Blair Witch" attacks their tent.
  
  
• The film's CD soundtrack includes an enhanced CD-ROM portion which includes a scene not shown in the film, more of the three arguing about which direction to go, in which Heather and Mike nearly leave Josh behind.
  
  
• The scene at the motel features a line only shown on a TV ad for the film where Josh says "I ain't gonna die, Pa!"
  
  
• The VHS cassette Sticks And Stones features another scene with Heather and Mike that takes place after Josh's disappearance, and also includes an extra witness interview segment.
  
  
• Heather's "I'm so scared..." is only featured in some TV ads.
  
  
• The VHS cassette Sticks and Stones features not only an extra interview segment but also an outtake featuring Heather and Mike that takes place after the disappearance of Josh.
  
  
• As part of the settlement of a lawsuit brought by Sam Barber, who helped finance preproduction on the film, against his former partner (director Daniel Myrick), all theatrical, TV and homevideo versions of the film distributed after December 2000 will display an extra credit, listing Barber as "preproduction supervisor".
  
  
• In early versions, the interviews with Mark Mason (Man In Yellow Hat) are not present -thereby excluding the scene that explains the ending. And the interview with Mary Brown is slightly extended. The drinking scene in the hotel room is also extended.
