 'The Blair Witch Project' 25th Anniversary Screening with Producer Gregg Hale

Okay, this is a really cool opportunity see watch this cult classic on the big screen, and then learn about some of the behind-the-scenes stories! Gregg Hale produced the movie and will even answer some fan questions after the screening. I'm sure it will be even creepier watching it on Friday the 13th.
