The Blair Witch Project (1999)Love all those found footage horror movies like the 'Paranormal Activity', 'Unfriended', and even 'Cloverfield'? You can thank this super low budget 1999 classic! Made in 1998 for about $60,000, this home-video style film generated $140 million and kicked off a whole new film trend. What made it extra terrifying was its marketing: the studio put up "Missing" posters of the actors, all of whom used their real names in the film. They also reportedly showed early versions of the movie on unmarked VHS tapes, tricking the public into thinking this disturbing woodland tale really happened. Ah, the days before IMDB...
