Here’s a message to Cryptomundo viewers, from the writer/actor/producer behind the just broadcast Bigfoot narrative fiction seen on the Sci-Fi Channel the night of September 9, 2006. Loren, the work that you and people like you do in “The World Of The Highly Un-researched” is a blessing to us filmmakers in many ways. Much like the western genre, Cryptozoology is an area that borders on myth and reality at the same time and generates so much intrigue and possibility that it makes the storytelling almost automatic. As an actor/director/writer I find so much drama, conflict and passion (all areas of [...]
Irwin’s Missing Thylacine Footage
The only known image of Steve Irwin from 2.07. I’ve been challenged by critics that say Steve Irwin never looked for the Thylacine. Here’s more evidence that he did. As I wrote early after Steve Irwin was killed by a stringray, he apparently devoted an episode of "The Crocodile Hunter" to his search for the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. There was furthermore a rumor that he might have captured an elusive, supposedly extinct Thylacine on videotape during the making of that episode. But, for whatever reason, the blurry footage was never broadcast. Or was it? Irwin’s link to the Thylacine [...]
Sasquatch Hunters Revisited
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 [...]

Irwin’s Sense of Humor
Did Steve Irwin have a sense of humor? Of course he did. View “Steve Irwin Wrestling Gators Mascot”. Thanks to my son Caleb for this suggestion.
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.

Steve Irwin & Cryptomundo
In the midst of a worldwide media story being compared to the death of JFK or Princess Di, and which crashed many websites, Cryptomundo’s “Steve Irwin Killed” apparently filled a critical niche. The tragic death of Steve Irwin was easily the major topic at the lead of most news organizations’ attention on September 4th. Why would people want to read about it here? What quickly happened was that alternative news sources came to Cryptomundo to learn a little known fact about Steve Irwin: he had searched for cryptids too, including the Thylacine. Reportedly, Irwin devoted an entire episode of “The [...]
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, [...]
Nat Geo’s New Hominology Documentary
Recent speculation about National Geographic Channel making a new Bigfoot documentary in West Virginia is groundless. National Geographic Channel’s production team was there recently to do some spot re-creations of events that took place decades ago in East Asia, not about classic Bigfoot, but regarding Almas. I’ve been in communication with them for some time, as hominologist Adam Davies’ expedition to Mongolia in search of Almas was being planned and then being filmed. Now they are doing end-of-the-production tidbits with the re-creations. On March 16, 2006, I exclusively wrote about this documentary here at Cryptomundo. Click to see a larger-sized [...]
Manbeast’s Nicholas Webster Dies
Award-winning TV documentary writer-producer-director Nicholas Webster, died August 12, 2006, in Santa Monica after an extended illness. He was 94. His 1961 documentary “Walk in My Shoes” for the ABC Close Up about blacks in America was Emmy-nominated as the Show of the Year. He also directed documentaries for NBC (“David Brinkley’s Journal”) and CBS (“The Twentieth Century,” with Walter Cronkite.) In terms of cryptozoology, Webster is best remembered for his documentary Manbeast: Myth or Monster. It is a 1978 documentary that explores the existence of Bigfoot, the Yeti and other legendary humanoid-type creatures. Produced by Alan Landsburg, Manbeast filmed [...]
