This is an extended version created by me. This version clocks in over an hour of footage of deleted scenes, many of which are lower quality compared to the Blu-ray. The version compiles additional scenes taken from these sources; a VHS recording from the FX Channel, a pirated copy of the Sundance screener that was leaked out in 1999 online, the CD Josh’s Blair Witch Mix, the VHS exclusive Sticks and Stones: An Exploration of the Blair Witch Legend, blairwitch.com exclusive extras, woodsmovie.com exclusive extras and the Artisan Special Edition DVD and adds them into the Lions Gate Blu-ray. This version took a year and a half to make. Almost all the deleted scenes featured in the extended version have not yet been officially released on DVD, Blu-ray or VHS.
