Stars of Blair Witch Project struggling to get by after getting paid just $500-a-week to film horror classic that ended up grossing $250 million worldwide

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 14, 2024
The Blair Witch Project redefined horror movies when it became a huge, unexpected hit upon its release in 1999, raking in $248.6million at the box office on a tiny budget of $60,000. The film follows the disappearance of three student filmmakers in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary on the local legend known as the Blair Witch. It starred Heather Donahue, Michael Williams and Joshua Leonard playing fictionalized versions of themselves using their real names. The actors shot nearly all of the footage shown in the film themselves. They only got paid $500-a-week for their work on the film, with filming lasting only eight days and when the film grossed $100million, they only received a fruit basket for their contributions.
