I just bought and watched this movie as I remember going to the show to see it when it first came out as a young teenager, and back then it scared the stuff outta me, it was fun to watch it again, it was very simplistic in its making but brought back my years as a kid going to the one screen theatre in our home town where I grew up. was worth the money to buy it....

The Legend of Boggy Creek is a 1970s film about the Faulk Monster, a sasquatch type creature that roams the bottom lands of Faulk Arkansas. For anyone who is interested in cryptozoology, it makes for interesting viewing, though it is not great art. The effects were simple, even by 70s standards.

It was exactly the way I remember seeing when I was little. It was spooky and lots of talk from eyewitnesses. The song is cute and kinda doesnt go with the eerie talk but, its what I remember from my childhood and it wouldnt be the same without it. Its 70ish and cheesy but, a good cheese.

My fave story is the re-enactment of the 2 couples.

Classic "Monster" Movie
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
This was a really good film when it first came out and is still a pretty good movie today. Almost anything ocurring in dark, swampy areas tends to have a mysterious atmosphere. With the possibility of the creature and those events being real, it makes it even a little more eerie. Whether or not you believe in Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, etc., if you ever find yourself out in the woods after dark, youll be a little more on edge after youve watched this. Good Ol Scary Movie and worth watching.

    Wasnt quite what I was expecting, I mean it was written well, I like that they had the guys out there in the the woods, but they never found any actual real evidence, they were mostly just trying to outdo each other for the noteriety, and one ended up getting himself killed for it. I figure of your are serious about trying to hunt this creature then you should know all safety measures available.

    Oh yeah! That was great!
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :5
    There will be two types of people for Scream of the Sasquatch: those who hate it for bad acting and those who love it for exactly what it is. This is NOT a documentary on bigfoot hunting, it is a parody of documentaries on bigfoot hunting. We have two characters, Frank VanderSchmidt and Ron Warren. Ron is the photo-proof kind of guy Frank is his cousin (Larry)s wifes brother and is of the kill-em-for-proof kind of guy. There are no opening credits and its shot in such a way that makes you sort of think it is a viable documantary but theres never any mention of the big names in the field of bigfoot research so youre not sure. What we get is a small cast that represents an amalgamation of those Dahinden, Krantz, Green, Byrne, Bindernagel, Fish, and the such. Theres even the "Robby Peterson" film of 1972 parodying the famed Roger Patterson film.

    This is an independent film in which, presumedly, the director used his friends to fill out the cast. The acting seems bad because you have real people portraying "real people." This is along the lines of _The Blair Witch Project_ for bigfoot people. I was sitting there watching it, disbelieving there are people like this in the bigfoot field but truth be told, thats what some of them actually are like. The character of Ron is very Paul Freeman-like while Frank is more of the obsessive Rene Dahinden type. The college professor/author is even a knock on the late Grover Krantz. I agonized over how bad the beginning of this was (thinking it was some guys personal documentary) but when I just sat back and watched it, my view turned and the ending was so great that I ended up loving this film.

    Overall, its a fantastic Blair Witch-esque parody on sasquatch research and the investigators. The best part is when you totally realize that it isnt really a documentary (took me about 15-20 minutes cuz I ordered it thinking it was one). Im so glad I watched the whole thing because the acting is so bad that it helps the cohesion of the film and makes it work. Scream of the Sasquatch is perfect for "believers" and "skeptics" because it is so funny in that way. Believers will laugh at the parody, skeptics will say thats exactly how believers are. Certainly worth the money I paid for it and Ill watch it many times. Great job Guy Gilray

    Rocky Mountain Bigfoot

    Description


    Shot by a 5-time Emmy-winner and his intrepid crew, this new 1-hour documentary is a thinking-persons look at one of the most fascinating animals of the American West: bigfoot. This fresh look at the species includes unprecedented access to the nations top bigfoot researcher (a respected university biologist) detailed examinations of key sightings and a unique expedition deep into the Rocky Mountain wilderness--to the exact location of a famed encounter.

    This new production reveals compelling evidence from the labs of Prof. Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University. Meldrum documents hair samples, fingerprint evidence, behavior studies, and even historical data supporting the creatures existence. Plus, Meldrum explains why many parts of the interior Rockies are possible bigfoot habitat.

    The film also includes surprising comments from nationally-recognized author and skeptic Michael Shermer. Even though Shermer makes a living discounting myths, he tells the filmmakers that bigfoots existence is actually a possibility.

    The filmmakers travelled to the exact locations of several key sightings--with the actual eyewitnesses--to recount their stories. In addition to chronicling the accounts, the documentary team systematically evaluated and deconstructed the sightings. The team also mounted a major scientific expedition deep into the Idaho wilderness--to purported bigfoot hotspot--gaining surprising new insights into the bigfoot phenomenon.

    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :6
    This DVD was produced in 2004 in the state of Idaho by a 5-time Emmy winner and his intrepid crew, and I recommend it if you want to hear some good eyewitness accounts from the state of Idaho, and also hear from Dr. Jeff Meldrum. One of the more interesting parts of this documentary is when a group of students decides to try to fool Dr. Meldrum with a fake track made out of all things, a piece of a pumpkin shaped like a foot with dermal ridges painted on. Its a neat trick, since a pumpkin does resemble a human foot in texture, but Dr. Meldrum isnt so easily fooled. Two compelling eyewitness accounts round up the first half-hour, with both interviewees believing that they had sightings because they were engaged in activity that attracted the attention of the Sasquatch. Dr. Meldrum is also seen in the field investigating with a group of researchers. The first half-hour I have no problem with the second half-hour leaves a bit to be desired. A crew of young students goes out in the woods in what can only be described as a cross between The Blair Witch Project and The Real World. The five students dont seem to have the most basic clue about how to react when a Bigfoot is nearby (they freak out when they hear a pack of geese fly over, for cripes sake!). They mistake the geese for a bunch of monkeys chattering, which indicates they are true greenhorns who dont know the most basic things about the forest sounds. They do lay out bait consisting of oatmeal, which seems pretty sound strategy to be honest, since Dr. Meldrum did mention that in the course of his field research, he heard backpacks being rifled through by some animal, possibly a Sasquatch, but he did not see it for sure. However, the main things that were taken were oatmeal packets by whatever animal ransacked the backpacks. I wont give away too much more, but this documentary isnt too bad, and I do recommend it, even with a few reservations. It is available through Amazon.com

    I thought the book was OK....I was looking for some encounters to read about and possibly some behavioural information. After reading the book it fell short of that...this book is mainly about the hike as opposed to any encounters, although he does have one for sure. Some good info from the local agencies as well....I must say though, the author seems to portray himself as a very conciencious traveller of the woods and I respect him for that.
    All in all a good book if you want to go out and see some nice scenery....and maybe a Sasquatch if your lucky......

    Product Description


    With pictures and stories the Bords present cases of encounters with Bigfoot. The Bigfoot story has moved from certainty of the creatures existence to claims of hoaxes, trickery, and outright lies and back again. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claim to have taken movies of Bigfoot Ray Wallace s family shows wooden feet that they claim were used to start the whole Bigfoot story in 1958. Who do we believe?

    The Bords answer is nobody and everybody. The cases are presented without prejudice so you can make up your own mind. Sometimes it s easy, as with the Ray Wallace claims there are plenty of sightings before Ray Wallace was alive to make it clear he didn t start the whole thing. Other cases are a mystery. And that s all part of the fun.

    The Bigfoot Casebook (both the original and the updated version)is a great resource for anyone who studies the Bigfoot phenomena. Whether a field researcher, or of the more Fortean variety, the individual interested in Bigfoot needs this book. In fact, anyone who is interested in Bigfoot who is serious about research needs this book.

    This book is also fun for the person who is curious about Bigfoot, even if not a researcher.

    Where ever you fall on the scale of interest, the book is an excellent resource.

    While the book is a useful research tool, it isnt pedantic or difficult to read. The person whos curious about Bigfoot and enjoys reading about Bigfoot or Sasquatch will find this book a nice and easy to read collection of Bigfoot encounters.

    Casebook doesnt delve deeply into any one particular Bigfoot case thats not the purpose of the book. Its an excellent guide to specific dates, locations, etc. of Bigfoot activity/sightings.

    One thing I personally appreciated was the inclusion of so-called "paranormal Bigfoot" events those encounters involving UFOs, Bigfoot, and other anomalous phenomena.

    Bigfoot Casebook gives a history of Bigfoot sightings, and presents a time line and context of sightings that any Bigfoot researcher, as well anyone with a more casual interest, will find usefull and enjoyable.

    I liked the book. It had quite a few encounters that I had not read about before. In the second part of the book you will find in brief outline the different sightings by date, but you can browse through it very quickly to find the sightings in your state. I recommend adding this to your library. The only thing that I didnt like about it is that it has included stories that link bigfoot to UFOs. I think they could have been left out.

    It was interesting to read all of the BIGFOOT REPORTS from the late 1800s all the way to the modern day and realize that what ever people have been seeing, has not changed much at all.

    This is a must have for the BIGFOOT fans. The only thing that would have made it better would have been including more pictures.
    If you love to read about BIGFOOT, you will have a hard time putting this book down. If you are a BFRO investigator or just thinking of going on

    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :12
    In the way of (humorous) survivalist handbooks, this one falls pretty flat. This hardbound gothic looking book presents a variety of monsters for which you could... well... umm.. hunt. The book is broken into two sections, Cryptozoology (legendary creatures) and Cryptohoplology (legendary weapons & armor). The author presents a listing of monsters with a description, killing method, weaknesses, strengths, possible souvenirs, and minor literary references. Unfortunately, theres a lot of repetitiveness between the description and killing method for each entry. There seems to be pretty much three killing methods: melee combat, ranged combat, and imolation through fire. Its pretty much the same in every listing. The weapons section is a little better and the author is well researched enough in mythologies.


    Listing of included creatures:
    Basilisk Centaur Chimera Cyclops Djinn
    Dragon Fairy Ghoul Golem Gorgon
    Griffin Harpy Hellhound Hydra Kraken
    Manticore Merman Minotaur Mummy Pegasus
    Roc Sasquatch Scorpionman Siren Sphinx
    Troll Vampire Wendigo Werewolf Zombie

    Amongst the weaponry & armor are Excalibur, Mjolnir, Achilles Armor, Kusanagi, Blue Blade, and others.

    The book had potential, maybe some humor would have helped but ,for me, it fell flat. The cover looks great, its very quick reading, and from the mythology side it is interesting if brief.

    BIG BIRD! - MODERN SIGHTINGS OF FLYING MONSTERS

    Product Description


    A LEGEND ON LEATHER WINGS! The Indians called it the Thunderbird, a winged monster so vast that the beating of its mighty pinions sounded like thunder. But this ancient beast is not to be held in the cage of mythology. Today, from all over the dusty U.S. / Mexican border come hair-raising stories of modern day encounters with winged monsters of immense size and terrifying appearance. Further field sightings of similar creatures are recorded from all around the globe. The Kongamato of Africa, the Ropen of New Guinea and many others. What lies behind these weird tales? Ken Gerhard is in pole position to find out. A native Texan, he lives in the homeland of the monster some call Big Bird. Cryptozoologist, author, adventurer, and gothic musician Ken is a larger than life character as amazing as the Big Bird itself. Kens scholarly work is the first of its kind. The research and fieldwork involved are indeed impressive. On the track of the monster, Ken uncovers cases of animal mutilations, attacks on humans and mounting evidence of a stunning zoological discovery ignored by mainstream science. Something incredible awaits us on the broad desert horizon. Keep watching the skies!

    A Must Read book but Ken Misses the point!
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
    Written in an entertaining magazine style, so easy to read. Fascinating stuff but begs an important question that the author seems to miss completely. With so many eye witness accounts of Pterosaur type creatures surely the obvious implication is that they are not extinct. So the dominant idea that they disappeared 60 million years ago must be wrong. Yet Ken allows another writer (in Appendix 1) to re-affirm that very belief! Appendix 1 ends the book with four pages of pure evolutionary fairytale from a very fertile imagination telling us they vanished 65 million years ago! What a way to end a book filled with accounts of modern day sightings! Unbelievable.
    Good, but could have been better...
    Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :7
    I just bought this book about two weeks ago and since its a light read I finished it in about three days.
    It was a pretty informative book as these things go. Being mostly focused on the title creature "Big Bird" of Texas fame it didnt leave much room for the other mystery flying creatures of the world.
    Though the author made an effort to include some of these other mystery flyers, it almost came as an afterthought.
    Being from the area the author would obviously focus on his own backyard and I dont blame him, but more thought could have been put in the section on creatures from the other areas both in this country and in other countries.
    Plus the fact that he included the "Mothman" in his living Pterosaurs theory, which is just insulting. Mothman has never been identified as a Pterosaur by any of the witnesses and this "fact" just seems to be pulled out from thin air, so to speak.
    The Book also has many spelling and punctuation errors that could have been found had they had a decent editor.
    In all, if youre from Texas or plan to travel there to do research, its a great book on local folklore, but if youre from anywhere else in the world it really has no impact on the Cryptozoological hunt for the mystery flying creatures of the rest of the world.
    Close to the edge
    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :1
    I enjoyed the book, I thought it was entertaining and informative on a subject considered taboo in most scientific circles, however it did not take me "to the edge" or the fringe if you will. The author mostly stayed clear of the most controversial aspects of flying humanoids, and mentioned some cases only in passing ie" flying human November 1975 Rio Grande area, and gave no details. He did not take the proverbial leap of faith and considedered the whole spectrum of the phenomena, the paranormal side, UFOs, etc. He kept it safe.
