This week we chat with writer Ariel Powers-Schaub, the writer of the upcoming book Millennial Nasties: Analyzing a Decade of Brutal Horror Film Violence, releasing September from Encyclopocalypse Publications. We chat about the horror of the aughts, her affinity to the Saw franchise and more before revisiting The Blair Witch Project for its 25th anniversary. We chat about found footage, the fallout from the stars of the movie, each of our Scarred for Life stories with the film and more. Follow Ariel on Twitter.
