Dana Holyfield sends along the following news:
Hi. Just letting you know that retroflicks is going to be distributing my DVD worldwide. They made a movie trailer that can be watched on my website on youtube. It’s pretty cool the way they edited the trailer. Or here is a link to watch it.Dana Holyfield
I originally posted the news about Dana’s documentary here on Cryptomundo last year.
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
hey everyone this new documentary called the legend of the honey island swamp monster looks great indeed judgeing i watched the new trailer for it a couple times. when is it comeing out on dvd. the dvd cover looks great for this new documentary. this new dvd will be great for any researchers bigfoot/sasquatch dvd library. thanks bill green. great new update article about this new documentary 🙂
It looks pretty cool to me, I’ll get it eventually.
It looked pretty interesting then I noticed it deals with some old footage that has been found…hmm…
It reminds me of The Legend of Boggy creek.
I agree with Bill Green and will get a copy as soon as it comes out.
What struck me from the description and drawings of this creature and its footprints is that it seems to be similar to the Squatch, yet different. What came to mind were the iguanas of the Galapagos, the marine and land variety. Quite similar obviously, but suited to different environments.
Seems like a very interesting documentary. I shall be buying this for sure. Although I have to say that the scream we hear at the end of the trailer sounds remarkably like an elephant….
Still, eyewitness accounts galore and some decent footage to review. It’s a must in my book!
Uhhh… am I the only one who heard that the fake “feet” that made the Honey Island Swamp tracks were found a few years ago? And that it’s about as close to a smoking gun as you get in cryptozoology that the whole thing was a hoax?
Interesting, but the “scream” doesn’t work for me. Blind purchase: doubtful. Netflix: definitely. 🙂
Finally, something on a cryptid from my neck of the woods. I grew up with tales panthers and Honey Island Swamp Monsters, so this one I’ll most likely get.

Ummm, Probably.
Mr. Radford,
MK Davis gave a presentation at the 2003 Texas Bigfoot Conference where he presented evidence that three-toed tracks attributed to the Honey Island Swamp Monster were created by fake feet attached to shoes. Discussion of this can be found here and an article pertaining to the presentation is available here.
I suppose the explanation that some will propose is that the faked prints do not preclude the possibility that people have observed sasquatch-like creatures in the area.
I purchased the original release off of Ebay awhile back and though the documentary is okay I’m glad I got it at almost a steal the old footage isnt all that its hyped up to be but still all in all a decent flick.
Caution folks. Dana appeared on Tom Biscardi’s Internet radio program for an interview. That doesn’t feel right to me. You won’t catch me selling my wares in association with a known charlatan.
