75 Years of Drive-In Bigfoot Movies
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 6th, 2008
Cory Doctorow reminds me that today, June 6th, is the 75th anniversary of when the world’s first drive-in movie theater opened in Camden, New Jersey, in 1933.
In the Fall 2007 issue of TAPS Paramagazine, I wrote two articles about Bigfoot drive-in movies, and recommend those overviews to you.
Here, in tribute to Bigfoot flicks and trailers, for your viewing pleasure, pieces of Sasquatch popular culture from the days of drive-in movies (please pass the popcorn) and beyond. Enjoy!

cameraman and camera take a beating in the Legend of Bigfoot :). It was somewhat humorous to see the use of punchcard computer data/programs, I was forced to do that back in the early 80’s as part of a computer class. In the 60’s a computer was the mysterious ‘brain’ that could solve the world’s mysteries. Not quite, especially given the difficulty in programming them. The clip did raise a point that I’ve forgotten, namely that British Columbia is a prime area for searching, yet due to it’s remoteness and lack of population it’s not mentioned much. Which is probably just how Bigfoot wants it.
