Ah yes, Scary Movie. Of course.

most of the parodies were on tv shows, but there were at least 2 or 3 direct-to-video parody flicks.

there were even parodies of parodies, that's how rediculous it got!

the best parody was one i saw on either Sundance channel or IFC (maybe even HBO), it was a guy and his stuff bear camping and being scared n' shit.

i was flipping channels the other night and the tv show BONES had an episode which was a timely rip off of 'blair witch project'. they were trying to figure out what happened in these woods, see, and there was a film depicting 3 people lost in the woods, and...etc.

I saw it twice in the theater and the first time, found it to be extremely eerie and unsettling. Three parts really affected me: 1) when someone unwraps a little cloth packet and finds what I think are bloody teeth inside (the implication being that whatever happened to the missing friend was very much not good at all); 2) the hand prints on the wall; and 3) when one of the last remaining characters mentioning that he's almost out of cigarettes. That really ratcheted up the empathy (I were in their situation, food and water would be of secondary concern to having sufficient cigarettes and the idea of NOT having sufficient cigarettes was honestly terrifying to me) and made the rest of the creepiness more effective.

The second time I saw it in the theater was not quite as good in part because I knew what was going to happen and in part because the friend I saw it with kept clutching my arm and distracting me.

i think it was scary when the promotion was all word of mouth. after it was on the cover of newsweek it just wasn't anymore.

also, there is no way a movie like this could be succesful in the post youtube world, right?

the best parody i ever saw had jar jar binks in the final shot. (came out the same summer at e1, right) cant find it on youtube, but i think it was called "Jar Jar Binks Project".

"Jar Jar Binks Project".

ah, the innocent lives we led in 1999.

Would've loved to've been at the Sundance screening, where it was screened as a documentary.

I distinctly remember a Skinemax parody involving many fake breasts. I can't even think of what the soft-porn take on the title would be.

The Bare Witch Project, of course.

Boob-prints on the wall instead of hand prints?

What's that guy doing in the corner?

i have no idea how scary it'd be on a small screen without the theater sound - the rock noises, man, those were effective.

i saw a leaked copy at friend's house a while before release, and the lack of a huge system didn't make a difference.

i remember being more frightened by a jar jar binks face jumping into the final few frames than i was at the final few frames of the real thing.
