This Week in Horror History | The Blair Witch Goes Viral (July 13–19)

The Blair Witch Project, The Fly, and The Only Good Indians lead This Week in Horror History for July 13–19, 2026. Revisit the 1958 teleportation nightmare, Stephen Graham Jones' supernatural reckoning, the mutations of The Island of Dr. Moreau, and a vengeful killer whale in Orca. The Strain takes the spotlight with vampirism as an outbreak before the weekly recommendation enters Maryland's woods with three student filmmakers. Birthdays complete the week. Follow the path from scientific hubris to found footage, and the film that made fans wonder if its cameras had found something real.
