If there is one perpetually underappreciated horror monster out there, it’s Bigfoot. America’s most famous and recognizable cryptid has a wealth of films and literature devoted to it – but the elusive, hairy beast has rarely found itself in the horror spotlight among its brethren such as the vampire and werewolf.
Legends and myths of Bigfoot or Bigfoot-esque creatures span centuries and continents. Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape, and more all come to fall under the Bigfoot banner. Many states and regions across the country have their own version of the ape-like figure. Entire communities and groups of people can be found dedicated to tracking down and proving Bigfoot exists. The legend also comes with a decent score of individuals looking for a bit of attention by concocting pranks, hoaxes, and staging sighting.
The ongoing fascination with Bigfoot is easy to understand. It taps into our collective obsession with the unknown and the mysterious.

With the MPAA rating system firmly in place, moms and dads needed to search for G-rated titles they knew would be suitable for younger audiences. Aside from Disney features, it was often difficult to find such films.
Documentaries with educationally sound titles such as Cougar Country, In Search of Noah’s Ark and The Outer Space Connection played matinees at theaters across the country. Usually shot in 16mm and sometimes a tad boring, these movies were a safe destination for parents looking to drop the kids off for a couple of hours.
