21 Everyday Places You'd Never Guess Were Used for Dark Movie Scenes

18. Seneca Creek State Park, Maryland – The Blair Witch Project (1999)

The terrifyingly disorienting woods where student filmmakers met their doom in The Blair Witch Project weren't some remote ancient forest. Much of the iconic found-footage horror was filmed in the very ordinary, accessible Seneca Creek State Park in Maryland. The filmmakers masterfully used the park's dense foliage, meandering trails (especially near the Black Rock Mill area), and nighttime darkness to create an atmosphere of inescapable dread and unseen menace, proving that profound terror can be conjured from seemingly unremarkable local woodlands.
