Yeti On November 8th
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 3rd, 2008
Fangoria’s Michael Gingold has noted that Sci Fi Channel will have a premiere on Saturday, November 8, 2008, at 9:00 PM Eastern, of a new Yeti movie.
Genius Products gave Fangoria the first look at cover art for Yeti, the 12th (!) entry in its Maneater DVD series, being released on January 13, 2009. The film’s plot concerns a plane carrying a college football team that crashes in the Himalayas. While trying to figure out how to make it to safety, the survivors must also contend with, as Gingold notes “an especially Abominable Snowman determined to have them for lunch.”
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Why do they always have to make the shy, gentle apes, like Sasquatch and Yeti look like vicious killing creatures?
Looks scary!
There are reports of yeti-type creatures being annoying…Sanderson called the meh-teh “bestial.”
I know every network throws up what it thinks will get ratings, but it’s sad that the Sci-Fi fellows who greenlighted intelligent series like Battlestar Galactica think movie viewers will only tune in for “killer monster” type fare. Gripping drama could me made of the issues surrounding a great cryptozoological discovery – without losing the thriller aspects of danger and fear of the unknown. Here’s hoping they at least give that sort of thing a try.
I hope this movie is better than the Abominable Snowman.
saw the movie they make it jump graet distances whom a ape can’t jump as much
it had huge fingers(look like they did’t care for a great costume)
my family and i were laughing the whole entire time becuase of the yeti’s looks
