If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're in for a treat! A YouTube channel called Rave Sensation recently shared a video about the "Bigfoot Filmography" book by David Coleman, published by McFarland Press. The video is a fascinating deep dive into the world of Bigfoot on the big and small screens.
The host, Dan, gives a comprehensive overview of the book, which covers every film, TV show, and documentary related to Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or Yeti. The book also includes tangentially related topics, such as King Kong, in later chapters. Dan highlights some interesting bits from the book, such as a Sasquatch game and a 1960s magazine cover featuring Bigfoot fighting a bear.
One of the strengths of the book, as pointed out by Dan, is its thoroughness. It covers not only well-known films and documentaries but also independent releases and even commercials, like the Jack Link's beef jerky messing with Sasquatch commercials. The book also includes a review of each film or TV show, analyzing how the Beast was utilized and whether it was well done.
Dan also mentions some of his favorite Bigfoot posters and movies, such as "Abominable" and "Half Human," a Japanese film with an impressive Bigfoot suit. The video is a must-watch for anyone interested in Bigfoot pop culture.
But the video is not just about Bigfoot. Dan also touches on the evolution of gorilla films that led up to Bigfoot movies, such as "King Kong," "Gorilla Woman," and "The Abominable Snowman." This tangent provides an interesting perspective on how Bigfoot has been influenced by and has influenced other monster movies.
Overall, the Rave Sensation video is an excellent resource for Bigfoot enthusiasts and a great way to learn about the history of Bigfoot in pop culture. The "Bigfoot Filmography" book sounds like a comprehensive and fascinating read, and the video does an excellent job of highlighting its strengths. So, if you're looking to expand your knowledge of Bigfoot in movies and TV shows, be sure to check out the video and consider adding the book to your collection.
