found this on a blog reviewing the book I had just read...

Cryptid Culture Magazine is a new print publication based on Long Island, NY. The idea for this magazine began in early 2015 when Brian Richardson, founder and designer for Mythic Articulations, came up with the idea of an art magazine that could gather all of the 'cryptid art' and artists he was discovering through his company. Expanding that, we began to believe there might be an audience for such a magazine if it could include not only visual art but fiction, essays, poetry etc. as well as content covering the influence of cryptids on books, film, TV, gaming, fashion, social media and science; really anything that might fall under the purview of 'cryptid culture' including interviews with cryptozoologists.

We envision Cryptid Culture as being a celebration of all things cryptid. We would like to include sightings, accounts and theories, remaining respectful of all opinions and insights from contributors with our own slant falling on neither the skeptic or believer side but promoting the interests of both with the dignity and respect each deserves. We will strive to make Cryptid Culture a high quality magazine with beautiful design and intriguing content and we would love to have you be a part of it. If you would like to submit work for publication, please feel free to do so. We are committed to the idea of inclusion and will consider any and all interesting, intelligent, and well rendered contributions.

The Bigfoot Election (2011)

my kinda Bigfoot movie! we have a hoax. memorable small town characters. a love story. a bad guy. a hapless good guy. lots of drinking. a guy living in a camper. a sage old retired postman dispensing wisdom.

I make it a point to enjoy every day but I gotta admit some days it's a lot easier than others.

...and here the fired deputy is drunk driving in his bathrobe...

I don't think Bigfoot's a Coors Light drinker.

I got a hush hush deal with the editor of Highlights Magazine.

I know it's hard to soar like an eagle when you're running with a herd of ducks.

I put that suit on, it's like I turned into a wild animal. I don't care about social norms or making love to the Joneses.

Sometimes in this life you gotta eat a little shit to survive.

Nobody buys American anymore.

When was the last time the truth got anyone elected?

well, of course our Bigfoot expert (slash love interest) finds out it's all a hoax. she leaves town in a huff. but then she thinks about that bit of wisdom about chickens laying eggs with the same hole they shit from. and she turns around and goes back.

The sheriff is arrested. the sage old dude wins Sheriff. the two pranksters keep the Bigfoot thing going for tourism. the Bigfoot Expert sends customers to their Bigfoot Pest Control business.

this was filmed in Angel Fire, New Mexico.

I loved the soundtrack! will look on amazon to see if I can find cds..... American Aquarium.

She started cussin' like a backrow Baptist...

Bigfoot Horror Camp (2017)

this one was a doozy. Bigfoot is hanging round a nudist colony, kidnapping girls, tying them up in a little surf shack deal and making them dance for him. then he turns back into a man? AND there are nudists getting it on....girls with girls. girls with guys. the meadow is the place for this, they keep running off from the guy in the bbbbaaaaaaddddd monkey suit, leaving their phones and blankets behind. the Bigfoot expert shows up with his wife, and she strips right down to her tramp stamp and joins in the fun. (he does get rid of his shirt, but keeps his shorts on. classy guy.)

AND there's this flat screen tv on the paneled wall they keep close-upping on. It has bits and pieces of independent Bigfoot movies and documentaries I have just recently watched on amazon.prime. (???) when the whole nudist colony runs to the surf shack and finds the tied up dancing girls who by this time are just having fun....it is revealed that "Bigfoot" is the missing millionaire or billionaire or whatever....it was only 50 some minutes. it was trippy. it was free. it was confusing. and, all in all, it was kinda fun.

My Bigfoot Movie.

hell, I like that title. I have made some more production decisions.

of course, starring Lance Henrikson. and John Schneider. and if I can figure out some way to work President Abraham Lincoln in....a Civil War flashback, perhaps? then I could bring in Jesse James and Quantrill's Raiders.

classic rock soundtrack.

clever credits.

and Yancy Butler and that old lady from Bigfoot Wars....

throw in some meaningful dialogue, and I think we have a hit!

Lost Woods (2011)

I would've guessed this movie was set in the 80's....George had a mullet, neon pink short shorts, and a boom box. Lucy with her high waisted jeans, striped blouse (just like the one I had in the 80s!) and side pony. they had big ass walkie talkies, no cell phones. like you'd get reception out there anyway, I guess....

(my Bigfoot movie needs classic rock soundtrack!) I also liked the comic strip beginning. something different. Then there was the flipping through the channels to let us know the search had been called off for a camper missing over a month...

This isn't going to be like Deliverance, is it?

that moment when the Sheriff flags you down and tells you you're entering the area where that camper disappeared and was never found...

then you meet the badasses who just take your knife and threaten you...

A kid goes in the woods, thinks he's King Shit and Mother Nature knocks him down.

and then there is George's comic book Sasquatch research...if you get bit by a Squatch, you turn into one. like a Werewolf.

Don't let George's creature get ya. (jokes on you, he'll get everyone but Darrin.)

taking a dump in the woods. (rustling)

Probably a coyote. Or a bear. It's ok. George, set yourself up with a beer.

Our parents didn't raise a murderer.

Whose parents do?

peeing in the woods and singing....then one by one all of your friends join in and there's a whole chorus of you. Bigfoot's gonna love this shit. but he lets it slide. must've been busy stalking and killing some other campers...

(crashing)

Darrin has a dream about Bigfoot posing all model like on the mountain, then attacking him...

now the dog is missing....(good ol' Truk), truck torn all to hell, campsite trashed, George impaled....

oh man, you can't bury George out in the woods with a cross made of 2 sticks. this isn't the 1800s, for Gods Sake.

We can't carry him out. We'll come back for him.

(only you don't make it, Rey. you end up right next to him. and your sister Lucy. and that missing camper that Darrin finds in the Bigfoot cave. and the Sheriff finds ya'll. in that strange graveyard located next to a campsite and a 1970s pickup truck that had been disabled. and disabled meaning Bigfoot ripped the damn motor out of it and tossed it somewhere...)

but first, Lucy and Darrin are making out at George's graveside. Classy. guess all that sexual tension found it's way to the surface.

It's all so shadowy. But there strolls Bigfoot across the meadow like he owns the damn thing. He's a roided out muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger looking creature. You shoot him, he grabs your buddy Warren who is (wait for it. wait for it.) pissing in the woods. Not like I've ever been a camper, but DAMN.

Rey gets caught in a bear trap, but still manages to stalk around the woods with his bloody wifebeater, backpack, rifle, and booze looking for Bigfoot. Bigfoot caught Lucy while Darrin was getting Rey out of the bear trap. and Rey shot his sister. and Bigfoot got away.

Heroics? Is that what you call it? I killed Lucy.

(growling)

You're drunk. You can't beat this thing.

Rey shoots at Bigfoot. Bigfoot punches him in the face. Rey stabs him with a stick. Bigfoot beats him up. He's Bigfoot. You ain't gonna win, Rey.

Warren's not dead? (because, omg, I'm thinking Bigfoot bit him which means.....he turns into a Bigfoot!)

Screaming in the woods about your childhood and your dead friends is probably gonna attract the Bigfoot. I mean, we're assuming you're all dead meat at this point, but is this how you want to spend your last moments?

this is a clever Bigfoot trap. A bit elaborate. Gunshots and fire to attract him, running thru the woods so he'll chase you and get his foot in a snare, which is attached to a boulder which drags him into the water...but he won't die. They never do. and while you're all lounged out congratulating yourselves...here he comes again.

Darrin somehow escapes AGAIN. Woah. Bigfoot does an impressive canyon leap. Darrin falls. he smears shit on his face. he thinks Bigfoot can't see him, can just smell him. Obviously not. Bigfoot is on your ass again. so you run through the woods with a machete. seems dangerous. then again, so is running from a serial killer Bigfoot.

cut off Bigfoot's head and black smoke ROLLS out. then his body just disappears into thick black smoke. (this is why we don't find the bodies, eh? someone should tell the cast of Finding Bigfoot.)

Truk! Hey, Truk! Hey, girl!

(growling.) I assume this is the Warren Bigfoot getting ready to start on HIS rampage...

I lost four of my best friends on that trip and in the process I found myself.

and then Darrin and Truk just walk down the railroad tracks into the horizon....

I love the credits. a buncha buncha buncha Ellerings acted in this, and did about everything else. and Kayne's Mom. she made the credits. I love it. I have to have amazingly clever credits in my Bigfoot movie!

Snow Beast (2011)

gotta love a Bigfoot movie with one of the infamous Duke boys....yeah, he's a bit older, but still adorbs.

John Schneider. he's gotta be in MY bigfoot movie, too. I just decided. couldn't make it without him.

we have the ranger marking a map with pins. the lynx research team. a pouty teenage daughter forced to go along. a ski resort. plenty of fast food for our Snow Beast....

yes, young snowboarder dude. You ARE being watched. and I don't think you can outrun him...

It happens? That's your philosophy?

(shrugs)When you've been around as long as I have, you'll get what I mean.

omg. don't pee. don't whistle. (here we go.)

What you might hear is the blood rushing through your own head. Something the fear triggers when you see a predator.

taking out the trash (growling in the distance.)

Big. Ass. Footprints.

It was like a snarl.

I'm gonna go grab some firewood. (growl)

oh boy. he's spying on you. The Snow Beast is spying on you. YOU.

(growling and destruction noises from outside the cabin.)

It tore up our snowmobile?

Look at the spacing of the tracks.

It's not walking on four legs.

Why'd you stop?

I thought I saw something out there.. (famous last words, my friend.)

There's nothing out there.

I'm just going to check. (of course you are. do you not watch these movies? you're a dumbass.)

Fine.

(growling.)

(flash of white fur)

oh man, you are screwed. don't say I didn't warn ya...

(screams.) And now you know, Mr. Ranger. And now you know.

Gibbons! don't get out of the truck! you know better, you sage old timer! Don't walk through those woods. Assume Barry is dead and and save yourself. Well, you found Barry. And the Snow Beast found you.

Rob fell in the snow cave. Miss Emmy wasn't watching the monitors and missed the Snow Beast. There she goes. She just spotted him.

body in storage in snow cave. piles of bones. blood.

(Roar. Roar.) The chase is on. How fast does that snowmobile go?

It's hard to get a better look when you're running for your life.

Or it could be a Yeti.

I'm sorry. What?

so how'd this Yeti get here? Hop on a plane, eat some peanuts, watch a movie?

It's mythical.

Do you know what triggers fear? Basic survival instinct.

and here goes Marci off alone to find this beast. (there's gotta be one in every Bigfoot movie...) she's armed with a truck, a camera, and a tranq gun. and of course she leaves the tranq gun in the truck and treks through the woods with a camera. (growl.) oh girlfriend. nice knowing ya. he chases her, she does make it back to the truck, but you gotta quit dropping those keys in the floorboard, Marci. and you probably should've had the gun loaded, 'cause now he has time to smash the window and drag you out, strangle you, and throw you on the hood of the truck....

Marci might be in trouble. Stay at the cabin.

Where is she? you know where she is. In that Snow Beasts walk in freezer of a cave. Emmy saw him dragging her through the snow on the monitor.

He's ate everything else. We're all that's left.

not only did Marci get herself killed, now the truck won't start. And Snow Beast is chasing Daddy on the last snowmobile while he is going for help. He gets knocked off by a branch, the snowmobile crashes and explodes, and he valiantly tries to play darts with Snow Beast. but to no avail. Daddy won't answer your radio call, Emmy. Snow Beast backhanded him and he's headed to the freezer.

watcha wanna bet Emmy will sneak off in the night trying to find her dad? (I lost that bet.)

Snow Beast is gonna come right in the cabin and get you. Yeti's can climb stair cases. now we know. I don't think holding a dresser against the door will stop him. Apparently, he gave up. Or is just hanging downstairs on the couch watching Netflix biding his time.

good luck getting your deposit back. Snow Beast tore this place up.

setting a trap. clever.

do you have enough tranq darts to take him down? you found Jim in the snow cave and Mr. Snow Beast is right there behind you. should've went with bigger darts.

there's another guy in the freezer. Guys, I think all this chasing you is making the Snow Beast even hungrier. not a good idea, from your standpoint.

It's kinda adorable how the Snow Beast cocks his head side to side watching you. such an ugly mug.

started an avalanche with a flare gun and saved your daughter? Good job.

a lotta people died. but it's over, right? well, a huge white furry hand just came out of the snow and grabbed a dude...
