Despite taking place in 1994, this movie was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the world's first prequel in the Blair Witch saga and the first narrative to use the original filming locations from 1997.
Aside from the opening scene that takes place in present times, the entirety of the movie was shot on Hi-8 VHS, just like the original Blair Witch Project.
The canvas tote bag Lonnie places the stick figure into during the opening sequence is that of one director Jeff Lukeski's favorite stores, Third Eye Comics.
Seemingly taking place all over Maryland, most of the shop exteriors where filmed on only two main streets; that of Ellicott City and Frederick, respectively.
