Classic Album Review: Various Artists | The Blair Witch Project: Josh’s Blair Witch Mix

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

And the cash-grab officially begins.

Even though this ultra-cool, no-budget horror flick had, like, one song in it, that hasn’t stopped the marketing muckety-mucks from trying to dip their sticky fingers into the profit pool with this so-called “companion” CD. The concept? These songs were on a cassette found in missing filmmaker Josh’s car. It’s all suitably spooky, goth-tinged stuff — Lydia Lunch, Skinny Puppy, Bauhaus, Type O Negative, you get the idea. And how’s this for spooky: Even though the kids vanished in 1994, Josh’s tape somehow includes songs that wouldn’t even be recorded for another four years. Spend your bucks on a movie ticket instead.
