Why is the movie the witch rated r
When Cartoon Network Parodied A Rated R Movie (Scooby Doo/Blair Witch Project) (Cartoon History)
[Music]
in 1999 all anybody wanted to talk about
was the Blair Witch Project the Blair
Witch Project was a horror film about a
group of people who go to the woods can
basically all get killed by a witch the
movie was marketed as being found camera
footage from actual people who went to
the woods and were killed by witch so a
lot of people believe the film to be
real it wasn't they were all actors but
at the time people thought this was
actual footage of people getting haunted
by a witch so you can imagine people
were pretty scared it made it look super
real tube with clips from a fake news
show in fake press conferences making it
seem like a real story and it was a big
deal everyone was talking about it
some were terrified some were making fun
of it and people argued all day on the
internet about whether or not it was
real but regardless there was a huge
moment in pop culture and in film now
obviously it was an adult movie rated R
but that didn't stop Cartoon Network
from joining in on the fun on Halloween
1999 Cartoon Network ran a 24-hour
scooby-doo marathon but all the episodes
were from 30 years ago so how could they
get people to watch they had the perfect
idea they dressed up the reruns with an
ongoing storyline that took place during
the commercial breaks
with a scooby-doo project which was just
the Blair Witch Project
but for scooby-doo the scooby-doo
character is basically re-enacted the
entire Blair Witch movie beat by beat it
was filmed in live-action with the
scooby-doo characters overlaid on top of
the footage it actually looked pretty
good it opens up with a police officer
making the announcement that the
scooby-doo gang had gone missing so
right off the bat it was pretty dark
because you know they didn't make it
almost every major scene from the movie
was in the parody the carefree
introduction while they pack the
interviews in town with the angry
rednecks a character losing the map when
it's found useless and so much more
sometimes I had a comedic twist like
shaggy eating the map but sometimes
there was no comedic effect at all which
was kind of weird all the characters go
missing in mysterious ways just like in
the real Blair Witch Project movie and
it ends the exact same way the movie did
with Shaggy standing in a corner in
Velma getting attacked and dropping the
camera Wow
Cartoon Network was not messing around
all in all the special is actually
pretty creepy especially for Cartoon
Network it's not every day that a kids
network does a parody of a rated R movie
but they did and it was pretty great and
it was dark like really dark but
impressive
