A part of Maryland film history is for sale.

Eduardo Sánchez, the co-director, writer and editor of “The Blair Witch Project,” is selling his Germantown townhouse that served as the production office and sleeping quarters for the cast and crew of the 1999 horror classic.

It’s been a while since Eduardo and his wife, Stefanie Sánchez, lived in the house — they now live in Frederick and rented out the townhouse. But returning to the scene in recent weeks in connection with the sale resurfaced memories from the time they worked on the film.

“It was really cool to be there and let the feelings come back,” Sánchez said. “It was a great little first home for us.”

The first time the entire cast and crew sat down together was in that Lark Song Drive living room. During the eight-day shoot, Sánchez estimated they hosted between six and eight people in the three-bedroom home.

“People were sleeping on the floor,” Sánchez said, recalling “coming downstairs and having to step over bodies. Most of us were in our 20s and it was just kind of like, ‘Yeah, I’ll sleep on the floor. Who cares?’ We didn’t have enough money to pay for the crew’s hotel rooms. It was such a — I guess not a labor of love because we were making a horror film — but it was very homegrown."

He added: “We had no resources, we didn’t know what we were doing, but we all felt like we were doing something special.”

Most of “Blair Witch” was filmed at Seneca Creek State Park, which the listing notes is nearby — about a seven-minute drive. That was especially helpful when the crew set their alarms for 1 a.m. to pull on their camouflage suits and head over to the woodsy filming location.

The three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, 1,377-square-foot townhouse, located at 13710 Lark Song Drive in Germantown, is listed by Redfin Realtor Lisa Greaves for $399,900.

The Sánchezes debated how much they should lean in to the “Blair Witch” history when putting the house on the market — one the one hand, it would be fun for a horror aficionado to take over the house and celebrate its legacy. On the other hand, any superstitious prospective buyers might get spooked out of purchasing.

“It’s not like we shot the movie there. It’s different than buying, like, ”The Amityville Horror" house,” he said. “Nothing weird happened other than the mess of too many people living there at one time. But it would be cool to get somebody who can actually appreciate that.”
