I have in the past purchased a few DVDs from Bijouflix. I think it’s about time I treated myself to something again.LOL.

well, since Loren has very, very generously allowed me to completely self-promote my wares herein anyway…

i wanted to mention a bit about ANCIENT LAKE, my novel (see book cover above). it’s the first in a series of books featuring a “true life” cryptozoological background for a cryptid research team based out of East Texas.

if you really are interested in acquiring some new Bigfoot flicks and reading about a Southern Bigfoot that’s not being ridiculed as a cryptid but given a mythological treatment based on many, many actual sightings and sasquatch folklore, ANCIENT LAKE is something you may enjoy.

i’m also happy to announce that you can get a free Bigfoot DVD along with a signed copy by myself if you order from the CryptoHaus Press web site. the details will appear later today, but if you’re interested:

http://www.cryptohaus.com

the site also has a few excerpts to get a sense of the book, an interview, links, and even a book video promo that’s kinda cool and minutely relevent (in that it lasts under a minute!) for our ‘Bigfoot in Film’ discussion herein.

so if you want to treat yourself, why not make it a ‘double dutch’ combo of DVD/novel? and don’t forget to tell me how you wish me to sign your book for you if you order, as well.

special bonus: only for folks who participate here on Cryptomundo, i will include a free bonus (act now and get the ginzu knives!) — a CD of Sasquatch sound recordings, plus emergency phone calls taken from real 911 phone calls wherein witnesses call to report ‘in progress’ sightings of our favorite hairy wild man!

you get the book, the DVD, and the CD sound recordings. but wait! that’s not all… seriously, the free CD sound recording is only for Cryptomundo fans and participants. just mention “Cryptomundo” in the comments box and i’ll include it as a special thanks for Loren allowing me to grandstand herein.

and now, red-faced from self-directing the spotlight onto myself, let’s swing the subject matter back onto Bigfoot flicks, thanks!

Again you are right. I also found the “All By Myself” video funny too though hehe.

One thing that also stands out to me with these suits is the fact that the heads stick up loud and proud well above the shoulders. Also, their heads are usually considerably large compared to the rest of the body. As you said, the fly away long hair is always present too.

P.S) I have in the past purchased a few DVDs from Bijouflix. I think it’s about time I treated myself to something again.LOL.

the trend even continues in the otherwise hysterical Sasquatch short film “All By Myself” Loren posted earlier: though the thighs are “P/G Correct” the rest of the costume has the usual cinematic conceits: reddish, orange hair; fly-away fur ‘do instead of slick, oily sheen; claws and werewolf-type hands; and of course the mask, which — although modeled a bit on HARRY fame — is still a bit ape-like as opposed to combination of ape/human as the P/G film footage suggests.

also missing, as in most? the pointy head reminiscent of large male gorillas!

but you know, i still found that video funny in a sad way. maybe i’m just a sucker for old 70’s tunes, though, being a child of the 70’s? who knows?

Great run down of the movie suits there. I couldn’t agree more.

it’s curious that no one ever replicates the P/G film. rather, they more clearly replicate the HARRY image: skinnier, taller, orangish, human gait, etc.

Yes, exactly. This is because the latter is by far the easiest to do, while a P/G footage replication has proven impossible so far. Even attempting it would look sillier than the more standard bigfoot representations that they stick to by and large. Same applies to the multitude of hoaxes.

red_pill: thanks for the tip re: Mexican Yeti. it’s actually the same film as David recommended, but get this: they used not one but two different titles!

but again, my thanks! if anyone is catching this thread later and knows of more obscure and/or regional bigfeet/yeti films, i would be truly interested in knowing about them. kindly post herein if you will and i’ll respond in like kind so we all get acquainted with what we’ve missed. i’ll return and post updates of newer ones i discover as well so the thread grows and goes on.

again, my sincere thanks!

Glad I could shed a little bit of light on Mexi Bigfoot cinema.

it figures — if anyone would import a Mexican Sasquatch film, it would be the infamous K. Gordon Murray!

my sincere thanks again — i’m already hunting down this elusive monster (movie, that is!).

Scroll down to the paragraph entitled “Indigenous Creatures,” and you will find some info on El Monstruo de los Volcanes. A poster appears at the bottom of the article.

There’s too much skiing, and 1970s-style cheesiness, but who can forget the beast smashing into the auditorium before the coronation of the Snow Queen and Sylvia Sidney lying on the floor moaning, “The crown! The crown!”?
