Cryptomundo
for Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents and More

My thoughts fresh from the screening…

Well, I have to say, and I told Jane Fleming, one of the film’s producers who was in attendance at the screening, that this movie is right there with Bobcat Goldthwait’s film, Willow Creek, as far as being the best Bigfoot movie of all time!

One film, Willow Creek, doesn’t even show Bigfoot, while Exists has Bigfoot all over it!

Bigfoot is real, and he lives in Bastrop, Texas! At least that’s what Exists might make you believe. From writer/director Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) comes a terrifying new look at one of the most mysterious creatures in history.

Don’t forget! Exists screens tonight for the final time at SXSW!

Mama Creech: As we celebrate 60 years of Creech this week, we would be remiss if didn’t mention the amazingly talented (and often overlooked) genius who created the Creature, Milicent Patrick. The Creature is one of the few Universal monsters who was arguably more famous than the actors behind the makeup. Legendary!Famous Monsters of Filmland

Bigfoot hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to recent horror movies thanks in large part to dreck like Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes and The Woodsman, but there’s hope yet for old Sasquatch. Not only is Bobcat Goldthwait’s fantastic Willow Creek waiting in the wings, but Eduardo Sánchez‘s latest seems pretty promising too. Sure it’s found footage, but if anyone can make the format work again it’s the co-creator of The Blair WItch Project.

Ever read “The Bottoms” by Joe Lansdale? I read it a few years back and it’s great. Bill Paxton is set to direct the film version. Have no clue if it will make it into the movie, but the book version does have a Goatman character in it who’s feared by East Texas residents. ~ Sean Whitley of Southern Fried Bigfoot.
