Earlier this summer, I posted the two following blogs on the Sasquatch Hunter. Since the movie screened again on September 9, 2006, folks might be interested in reading highlights you might have missed. Fred Tepper, the director of Sasquatch Hunters (2005) writes in with news of his film’s screening. (Keen observers of the film will note the use of a brown resin copy of Grover Krantz’s Gigantopithecus skull reconstruction.) Tepper emails: My Bigfoot movie, Sasquatch Hunters is making its television premiere today, Tuesday, July 11th at 8pm Eastern/Pacific (7pm Central) on the Sci-Fi Channel. (This is in the U.S. and [...]

Maine Mutant Safari
From Motion Media: For Immediate Release September 7, 2006 Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman leads the 2006 Maine Mutant Safari, broadcast worldwide By this time, we all know about the bizarre creature found in Maine.

The film companies will be documenting Coleman as he shares his side of the story, as well as looks for clues to other potential unknown animals and gives his thoughts on the creature found [...]
Sasquatch Mountain’s Bigfoot
For those wanting a sneak peek of the Bigfoot in the September 9th movie Sasquatch Mountain to be broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel, here’s an exclusive look. Two of these images have not been published before, and are being shared with readers here first. Needless to say, more direct images of the “Mountain Devil” will be revealed soon.

Sasquatch Mountain’s Worth
Click here for the link to the videoclip showing the behind the scenes action in the making of Sasquatch Mountain. Michael Worth and Lance Henriksen on the set of Sasquatch Mountain. As mentioned here earlier, on Saturday, September 9, the Sci-Fi Channel screens for the first time the new motion picture, Sasquatch Mountain. The plot of the movie concerns a lonely tow-truck driver (Lance Henriksen) who gets caught in a deadly struggle between a pair of bank robbers with a beautiful hostage (Cerina Vincent), local cops, and a Bigfoot that has come down from the Arizona mountains. This is Lance [...]
What Is A Yarwen?
Has a Yarwen been captured in Maine? Read more about that question here. In this column, I wish to explore what kind of monsters (from creatures to humans) might be behind the use of such a word as "Yarwen." First, let’s consider that this term is not being used loosely, but very specifically to describe a person’s killing of an adult cryptid and the transporting of its baby. The mental graphic images of a young hominoid in a cage in New Jersey, yes, Jersey, are just more than I can take, but I’ll press onward, in the service of cryptozoology’s [...]
CryptoChannel ‘06
The Sci-Fi Channel’s start date for the new Rob Mariano vehicle will be Wednesday, October 11, 2006. The program “Sci Fi Investigates” will air at 10:00 pm Eastern/9:00 pm Central. The new reality show will be a six-week series hosted by the “Survivor” and “Amazing Race” alum “Boston Rob” and produced by NBC News Productions. Among the subjects covered will be “Bigfoot,” “Mothman,” “Paranormal Hotspots,” “Roswell Revisited,” “The Afterlife” and “Voodoo.” Cryptomundo earlier cautiously mentioned this program on July 14, 2006. As I critiqued it then, the program appears to be taking a skeptical or hostile approach to these subjects, [...]
The Silver Bridge: How Many Died?
Mothman mysteriously appeared and for 13 months was seen in a Banshee-like wave of sightings. Then the Silver Bridge fell. Maybe there’s a connection, maybe there isn’t. With all due respect, do you know how many died in that tragedy? Why have my buddies at the Fortean Times forgotten to fact-check this significant detail before publishing a Letter to the Editor about it? Bill Rebsamen’s image of the Mothman created for the cover of my book on the subject. In the new issue of the Fortean Times, # 214, for October 2006, on page 71, in a letter entitled “Silver [...]
Lassie & Nessie
The new Lassie movie opens September 1, 2006, and I predict it will be a runaway hit with babyboomers who use the excuse their kids want to go see it. For Cryptomundo readers, I hope someone reports back soon on what happens during the appearance of the Loch Ness Monster and lochside researchers (Edward Fox playing one of them) during Nessie’s cameo in the motion picture. Set just before World War II, this cinema version returns us to its original plot apparently, but was the Loch Ness Monster in the first version of this?
Snowbeast’s Stefano Dies
Joseph Stefano appears in a publicity photo with one of his monster creations. Joseph Stefano, who will be most remembered in the mainstream media as the scriptwriter for the plot twist in Psycho, according to the Washington Post, has died of a heart attack August 25 at the Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California. He was 84. From a cinematic cryptofictional point of view, Stefano will be most recalled, however, affectionately for several television and motion picture achievements dealing with creatures and monsters. His life appeared to have always pointed in that direction. When he started [...]
