The last time we heard about some mysterious goings-ons in the woods of Burkittsville, Maryland, it was courtesy of 2000's Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, the sequel to one of the biggest indie movies ever made, and a film that finally revealed, with frightening force, the true power of the Blair Witch: In just 90 minutes or so, she can make you forget you ever once saw a movie called Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. It remains one of the most ill-advised, clumsily executed sequels of the 21st century, and seemed to have killed the franchise forever...

...until tonight, when Lionsgate announced the forthcoming horror movie The Woods is actually *Blair Witch—*a brand-new, heretofore top-secret follow-up to the 1999 found-footage classic. Created by Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, whose last film was the excellent sci-fi actioner The Guest, the new Blair Witch —which appears to be found-footage-free—stars James Allen McCune (Showtime's Shameless) as the brother of Heather, one of the doomed campers from the original film. He and some friends return to the woods in an attempt to find her (always just a dumb, dumb idea) and are soon being haunted by mysterious forces. Will they make it out of the woods? We'll find out when Blair Witch opens September 16th. Until then, we'll be standing in the corner by ourselves, creeping everyone out.

Pause at: 1:04, when someone pulls something spiky and scary out of their leg.
