The Blair Witch Project: Triskel at Halloween

In October of 1994 three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary. A year later their footage was found. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was a cultural phenomenon when originally released in the late nineties. With a crafty marketing campaign that suggested the events in the film were real and the actors involved actually were missing, this sleeper hit grossed almost $250 million worldwide and spawned the ‘found footage’ horror sub-genre. Audiences were polarized, either dismissing it as nonsense or considering it to be one of the scariest movies of all time. Decide for yourself and see it on the big screen for maximum effect. 

“A nerve-shredding slice of psychological terror.” Time Out 

TRISKEL AT HALLOWEEN 2025 

This year, Triskel Arts Centre once again hosts a line-up of classic horror movies to mark the Halloween season. We start on Thursday 30 October with two very different vampire movies: the eighties cult classic THE LOST BOYS and BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA with Gary Oldman delivering a tour de force performance as the title character. On Friday 31 October there are screenings of the nineties movie phenomenon that was THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and the definitive film of the season: John Carpenter’s original HALLOWEEN starring Jamie Lee Curtis.
