Hey, what a blast from the past mystery man, I used to love those Arthur C. Clarke series too. My dad and I used to watch them all the time! Thanks for reminding me of them.

This one looks good too, I’ll have to pick up a copy!

Wow, thanks for putting this one up! I had never seen this documentary before which is odd since I have always been a big fan of documentaries on cryptozoology. I used to love the Arthur C. Clarke series.

I bought my Mysterious Monsters DVD online at Amazon.com. The quality of the picture is actually pretty good considering the age of the film. Also, it was Manbeast! Myth or Monster that had the scene with the squatch watching (ha!) the woman sleep. I also have this on DVD, I bought it from a guy on the internet, but I don’t know if I can give that info on this site, the quality of this DVD was also very good, but was in DVD-R form.

mrbf2006: Any chance you know where a like-minded soul could get a copy as good as that? I found someone online selling copies on DVD and VHS in a collector-to-collector capacity but I’d love to get the best quality available… my apologies to the moderators if soliciting info on out-of-print material is a no no here… just trying to make the best of limitations. Thanx!

I own this on DVD, and I can credit this and the book as what started my interest in Sasquatch and all things cryptozoological. I taped it off TBS several years ago, but the quality of the videotaped copy wasn’t all that good, so when I won a copy of it on DVD from Ebay a few years ago, I was ecstatic. The copy I have is a Japanese import and is in great condition, from one of the few filmstrip copies. This is one of my favorites and a true Cryptozoological classic.

Gridbug,

I believe you are referring to Manbeast: Myth or Monster, to which Squatchwatcher has also alluded. I vividly remember that scene — it’s an account of an encounter with an Almas in the Caucasus.

I also remember having wanted to see Mysterious Monsters as a kid, but never having gotten the chance.

Oh, and any other leads on obscure 70’s cryptodocs are always welcome too… thanx!

Excellent! This (along with Legend of Boggy Creek) was what got me into the Bigfoot fanclub back in the 70’s! I have a raggedy old VHS copy of Mysterious Monsters but would love to upgrade to DVD… can anyone vouch for the quality of this one? I didn’t know it was on disc until now…

BTW, I have vivid recollections of a pretty decent Bigfoot TV documentary from I think the 80’s but have no idea what the name is… the one sequence that’s burned into my mind was a woman living in a two story cabin in the woods who wakes up one moonlit evening to see a squatch sitting in her rocking chair staring at her! She shrieks and the squatch skeedaddles down the steps and out the door… it scared me then, and it scares me now! Does this rind a bell with anyone? It might have been a re-vamp of one the David C. Wolper docs but I haven’t been able to track down/verify it.

Any help on this would be fantastic!
