British label Second Sight is preparing a Limited Edition Blu-ray of Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s The Blair Witch Project (1999). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 11.

A standard edition will be available for purchase on the same date as well.

Three film students head into the woodlands of Maryland in search of the Blair Witch, a local legend that has haunted the town of Burkittsville for centuries, as part of a documentary project. They were never seen again. This footage is all that remains of that fateful excursion.
