Behind the Scary Sounds of Blair Witch, Andy Hay’s interview with A Sound Effect.
On sound design, what were some particular sounds or scenes that stood out for you on Blair Witch? How did you create those sounds?
I wish Jeff [Pitts] was here to help answer this question, but he’s in Japan at the moment recording sounds for our next project with Adam (namely, Death Note). I think the obvious answer would be the sound of the creature. This was made in Symbolic Sound’s Kyma sound design software, using a variety of sound sources which are largely about experimentation. I’m happy to say I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything quite like the creature sounds that we created and I think that really stands out in the film.
