    'The Witch' (2015) and 'The Blair Witch Project' (1999) are the two most famous witch in the wood horror movies. In this video, Thomas Thorogood and Avellina Balestri discuss their deeper themes and symbolism as well as the connections between them. There are spoilers for both movies. Welcome to 'The Witch' vs 'The Blair Witch Project'.Avellina Balestri is a Catholic author and editor based in the historic borderlands of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Her stories, poems, and essays have been featured in over forty print and online publications. She has published two historical fiction novels and two poetry collections and participated in multiple anthologies.
