Microsoft revealed a Blair Witch game during its Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) briefing today in Los Angeles.

Blair Witch is based off of the popular series of horror films. The demo showed a man — armed with a flashlight and a dog — exploring the woods. As expected, it was pretty creepy. The game is set during September 1996. You can watch the trailer above.
