Henriksen Handles Bigfoot (Again)

Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 14th, 2006

Over at Dread Central, the Foywonder mentions a new movie to be screened in September: That Lance Henriksen must really dig Bigfoot. Every time you turn around ol’ Lance is turning up in a Sasquatch movie. He already survived Sasquatch, wasn’t so lucky in Abominable, and now he’s bracing for a rubber match with Bigfoot […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 21st, 2006

Werewolves are popping up all over. You merely have to go to any theater and find one. There is, for example, Scrunt, a werewolf-like creature, in M. Night Shyamalan’s new Lady in the Water. One of Linda Godfrey’s good illustrations of you-know-what. Reporting from 2006 San Diego Comic-Con, Day One, on Friday July 21st, Dark […]

Sometimes I start one place, go down a side road, end up elsewhere, and find my way back to say goodbye.

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 12th, 2006

Yes, that quoted phrase is the subsection title that columnist Melanie Conklin of the Wisconsin State Journal of Madison, Wisconsin, employs in her little segment on the The Beast of Bray Road.

The Ultimate Bigfoot DVD Couch Potato List

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 8th, 2006

I was asked earlier this week, what Bigfoot non-fiction films would I recommend? As the extremely well-educated adult who understood his own learning style honestly noted: “I am not a very fast reader. Please direct me to anything I can purchase and view on DVD.” Okay, basically, that’s a fair request, as some people are […]

Luche Libre: Chupacabras

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 4th, 2006

Just a brief note that with the success of Jack Black in the movie Nacho Libre (2006), many North Americans are awakening to the popularity of luche libre ("free-style fighting").
