Some of you may not recognize Michael C. Williams at first glance, but stick him in a dark basement, turn him around, and have him stare at the wall—instant recognition. Michael is THE Michael from the now iconic THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, which this year celebrates 25 years of forever changing the path of our genre. Michael's career continues to grow with the release this month of GHOST GAME from DREAD films. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Michael, speaking a little bit about the legacy of Blair Witch but mostly about his involvement in GHOST GAME. Check it out! Synopsis: "As part of an internet challenge to live undetected in a stranger's home, a daring couple target an infamous haunted house and endure a series of chilling incidents as they witness a family descending into madness." GHOST GAME gets a limited theatrical opening on Oct. 18th – and then it hits VOD everywhere on Oct. 22nd.
