Blair Witch Trivia Quiz

Answer: Memory cards

The footage found in this movie was assembled using memory cards and DV tapes, both of which were found near Burkittsville, Maryland on May 15, 2014, dropped in the woods of the Black Hills Forest. This, of course, is a bit more futuristic than some of the previous footage obtained from the region; in 1994, a trio of documentary film students went into the region to make a film about a local fable, that of the Blair Witch, and all of them disappeared. Only their cassettes were found. This film begins with James Donahue viewing footage on Youtube allegedly containing an image of his sister, Heather, who was one of the three students to perish back in 1994, twenty years earlier.

He decides to investigate.

Answer: The Absence of Closure

Fortunately, James' friend Lisa needs to film a documentary project herself, so she outfits James and a couple other friends, Peter and Ashley, and they decide to head out to Maryland to investigate Heather's disappearance. According to Lisa's chronicling of the movie's backstory, James has been hunting for the truth for twenty years-- since he was four years old. James has been in contact with the guy who posted the YouTube video; they plan to meet up and find the house seen in the footage. Said guy, Lane, and his girlfriend, Talia, round out the search party.

Answer: Blair

It's alleged that settlers who first build up a town in Burkittsville, Maryland named it Blair but went missing before they could be visited by more New World explorers, so the location was renamed. Of course, that's not the only lore behind the region; a man named Rustin Parr committed several murders in the region in the 1940s. Coffin Rock, which Heather and her crew were headed towards, was also alleged to have its own mysterious history. Lane and Talia believe all of the legends, being locals and all, though the others are skeptical.

They say that the locals tied up an accused witch out in the woods to die of exposure, but they never found the body. Some believe her to be out in the woods still, and if anyone looks directly at her, they'll die of fright.

Answer: Ashley

The group drives out into the woods, taking a long laneway into the forest and parking their cars in a clearing before grabbing their bags and heading out. Eventually, they reach the gatepost marking the Black Hills Woods and cross into the forest, crossing a river and setting up camp on the other side. That evening, after telling stories about the Blair Witch, everyone goes to sleep but wakes up in the middle of the night to loud sounds in the forest around their tents. Lane ends up missing; Talia says that he went to relieve himself.

He's eventually found, and he's quite shaken up when this happens.

Answer: Lane

After the first night in the woods, the party wakes up at two in the afternoon, much to their surprise, to find that someone has placed stick tree figures overtop of the tents. This freaks everyone out enough to convince them that they should head back to their vehicles and leave, so they pack up and begin to return from the direction they came. Along the way, Ashley's foot begins to hurt more and more, and when they stop to check it, Lisa notices a roll of twine in Lane's bag not unlike the twine used to craft the figures from their campsite. Sure enough, Lane is forced to admit to making the figures, but he and Talia are unable to account for the time they all lost and the noises in the woods. Nevertheless, they're forced out of the group and told to find their own way back.

Answer: Drone

The four friends continue walking through the day, inevitably forging a path through the woods that's supposed to lead them directly to the fencepost as per their GPS. Where they actually end up going is in a complete circle; they wind up back at their campsite from the previous night.

They have to stop though, since Ashley's foot is infected and she can't walk far enough on it. When they check the wound, Peter finds that there might actually be something inside of it, moving around and causing the pain. While Lisa uses her camera drone to search for the border of the woods (and it malfunctions and gets lost in the trees), Peter ends up heading out into the woods to collect campfire.

He doesn't come back; something chases him in the dark before a tree comes crashing down on him.

His recovered camera footage shows him struggling to free himself before something grabs him and takes him away. James only finds his flashlight.

Answer: Hair

In the middle of the night, Lane and Talia also stumble upon the campsite, much to the others' surprise, though they claim that they've been in the woods for nearly a week. Their appearances support this since both have been wandering around, hungry and confused, for what seems to have been that long, apparently without seeing the sun rise once since they split up with the others. Lane leaves, deliriously believing them to be tricking him, but Talia stays behind. James and Lisa get up at 7am to find that it's still dark outside.

This time, when they leave their tent, they walk outside to find countless stick figures strung up in the trees, many much larger than the ones Lane made. Talia begs them to leave when she finds her own hair on the stick figures around the campsite, but Ashley, sick and angry with the situation, takes one from her and snaps it in half.

When she does this, Talia, too, snaps in half.

Answer: False

James, Lisa, and Ashley flee their campsite when their tents are pulled into the trees and this panic causes them to split up. James and Lisa are able to reunite, and stumble upon a house they determine to be Rustin Parr's (even though it was allegedly burnt down after he was caught by the police and executed in the 1940s), but Ashley ends up alone with nothing more than her earpiece camera and a headlamp.

As it turns out, her injury has gotten much worse, with a parasite-laden infection spreading up her leg.

She pulls a creature out of the spreading wound. Soon, she ends up finding the drone that Lisa crashed the day before and climbs a tree to retrieve it. Something up in the branches knocks her out though, and proceeds to drag her away when she hits the ground.

Answer: Lane

At the house, James believes he hears a scream and realizes that it's his sister. Lisa begs him not to go inside, but he does since it was the reason he came to the Black Hills Forest in the first place. She stays outside.
When James goes in he searches through the rooms until he comes across one with Peter inside standing in a corner. The doors of the house begin shutting around him, and he chases the sounds upstairs, following a figure that seems to be able to disappear at will.
Outside, Lisa waits for James and calls out for Ashley until an inhuman creature on the edge of the forest forces her to take shelter inside. And that's where she finds Lane in the basement...but he's not the same as when she last saw him. He's aged decades.

Answer: In the attic of the house

Lane places Lisa into the tunnels beneath the house and she's forced to crawl through to escape. She's able to get the upper hand and kill Lane when she makes it to the other side, but this alerts the creature in the woods to her presence and she runs to the attic to escape it.

She doesn't realize it, but as she films herself doing this, she's actually creating the footage that Lane found and uploaded to YouTube. She makes it to the attic and stumbles upon James' hiding place as the creature attempts to break in, but this is interrupted by an ominous, bright light from outside the house. James tells Lisa to face the corner and not turn around and look or else they will be sacrificed. James doesn't follow his own advice though.

After apologizing for bringing her to the forest, he hears Heather's voice and turns around, getting taken instantly.

When Lisa hears James' voice, she turns around as well. All that's left behind are her handheld camera and the earpiece camera she was wearing.
