Rob Zombie's Bigfoot - A Graphic Graphic Novel

Bigfoot - The big hairy guy that's supposedly one with nature; a kind and caring creature. Often represented as being a shy and timid beast with only one problem: that's just too damn boring! No one cares about love-giving, tree-hugging yetis with flowers in their hair. Nope. Everyone prefers the flesh-eating, brain-smashing, rib-cracking, human-killing, psychotic-son-of-a-hairy-bitch beast from Hell that lurks in the darkness of the woods ready to rip any and every man, woman and child apart and feast on their steaming innards. 

Or maybe that's just me. 

Well if, like me, you prefer you Sasqatch scary then this extremely graphic graphic novel is right up your alley! Created by Rob Zombie (a man best known for his admiration of horror films, his music and his own films - less said about his Halloween remakes the better), Steve Niles (a king among graphic novels with work including 30 Days Of Night, Criminal Macabre and 28 Days Later: The Aftermath) and Richard Corben (the creator of many of the awesome Meatloaf CD artwork and Heavy Metal) this comic is a must for fans of Bigfoot horror.

The plot of these (a total of four comics)  is very straight forward and doesn't provide the Sasquatch Horror 'genre' with too much that is new; except of course a crazy body count and quite a bit of sex, typical of a RZ film. It tells the story of a psycho Bigfoot that bursts into a cabin and kill a young boys mother and father in front of his eyes. A few years later the boy (now a man!) is back in the town...and so is Bigfoot who's mighty pissed off.  Like most yeti films, there's a large portion of 'Bigfoot? There's no such thing!" dialogue followed by the characters realising they're wrong and going off to kick some hairy ass. Only difference is, as previously mentioned, is the body count. Often characters are brought into the story merely to stack up the pile of bodies. They're literally in it for just afew frames before they're killed off!

News: Bigfoot Family Living In Man's Backyard!

The Radio Show, Overnight AM, have contacted and interviewed a 70-year old man, named Mike,  who claims that a family (or group) of Sasquatch often visit his back garden at night. He claims the pack consists of an adult male, adult female and two infants. If the gentleman is genuine and he has (and is) witnessing these creatures then this could be the single most important development in zoology. Just think.  Click the link below to listen to the interview and be amazed as Mike answers the questions and explains how he is witnessing the family in the background as he speaks! It's incredible.

Last 5 Films Seen

Time for the last 5 films seen list. Complete with mini-reviews and clips! Hooray!

1) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (1979)
 Forget the Burton version of this Sondheim classic musical, that is NOTHING compared to the original stage version. The songs are better, the acting is better, the comedy is better, everything is better. Out of all the versions of Sweeney Todd none have quite come close to this particular version and George Hearn and Angela Lansbury are the best Todd/Lovett you'll ever see. Highly HIGHLY recommended!






2) The Capture Of Bigfoot (1979)
The 1970s was one of the most prolific decades for the incredibly underrated Bigfoot film. Sure the films were bad, and this is no exception, but they were a lot of fun too. This is one of the better ones complete with an evil villain with a maniacal laugh, a car chase, lots of snow and some sentiment thrown in there too.

Bigfoot: A Fan Of Rock Music!

Bigfoot. Besides problematic footage, the odd footprint and 'hair' samples not much is known about the creature. So much so many people think it's just bullshit. But one thing is for certain; Bigfoot is a Hard Rock musician. Naturally.

A Sasquatch costumed Hard Rock band that are so awesome they could rock the roof off any Yeti's cave. Consisting of the Abominable Frontman, the ladies-apeman  drummer SasCrotch, the hairiest Bassist to live,  BassQuatch and lead guitarist Shredi the Yeti this throwback to the 1970s rock band is quickly gaining a huge following of Bigfoot and rock fans alike.

Check out the group's MySpace or Facebook page for more details and of course the videos on YouTube too.

Never Prank The Bigfoot!

If you saw a Sasquatch right in front of you, what would you do? Try to capture it on video? Perhaps. But what if you saw a Sasquatch whilst you ate Jack Links Beef Jerky? Well that's a whole different story. You're going to prank that hairy beast! But that may not be the best idea....

Blonde Bigfoot Close Encounter

One of the biggest names in Cryptozoology, Bigfoot, was recently seen in North Carolina. According to Tim Peeler, he was just taking a stroll, calling out for coyotes (like you do) when he was greeted by the incredible creature. His description appears to be rather standard; "10-foot tall," hairy, etc. But there was a vital difference. This Bigfoot apparently had "beautiful" blond hair.

Now this story is pretty interesting. First off, the majority of reports describe the 'animal' as a brown haired figure (especially American Sasquatch), so was this one a albino Bigfoot? Secondly, sightings of Bigfoot are incredibly rare, and when one is spotted it is normally hidden behind some branches/trees/etc. So for one to stroll right up to Mr. Peeler is very odd indeed. Was it curious? Was it young and still learning? Or does this prove that blonds really are stupid? (I kid, of course).

No harm was caused to either man or almost-man as the Bigfoot soon fled back into the forest one Peeler started shouting at it, "Get away from here! Get! Get!"

Last 5 Films Seen

I'm a HUGE fan of horror films, from slashers to zombies to vampires and even to gialli. I can't get enough! So, every now and then I'll post up a list of 5 films that I've seen lately. This will be complete with a tiny little review and a trailer (for the majority). Here goes nothing:

1) The Legend of Bigfoot - Harry Winer, 1976.

Bigfoot. What a guy. Keeps himself to himself and stays out of contact with humans (so much so people question his existence). Sounds a bit like me. In this strange hybrid of a documentary/film, Bigfoot 'celebrity' Ivan Marx attempts to track down the elusive beast. A film almost made up completely with stock footage of wildlife, tenuously linked to the creature, this film can be a bit dull. But for any Bigfoot fans out there, check it out, at least for some giggles. According to this 'documentary', when Bigfoot's in town, goats kill themselves. Oh and Bigfoot migrates. Apparently.




2) Not of this Earth - Roger Corman, 1957.

One of the most prolific independent film makers EVER, Roger Corman, directs this rather dark and very sinister sci-fi horror. An alien being with the power of mind control comes to earth, but he's not here just for the sun. Full of 1950’s red fear and a pretty descent story.



3) Deathsport – Allan Arkush, 1978.

David Carradine takes centre stage again in this rather unrelated sequel to DEATH RACE 2000. Full of stupid costumes, silly vehicles, bad dialogue, mutants and a couple of breasts this film is a treat for the so-bad-its-good fan.



4) House of Wax – Andre De Toth, 1953.

Now we’re talking. Sod the remake. The original is everything you could ever want. Vincent Price in one of his best roles.



5) Them! – Gordon Douglas, 1954.

Quite simply one of the very best monster movies of all time. Full of giant ants, some very tense scenes and oodles and oodles of communist fear. Highly, highly recommended!

Bigfoot Sightings and Crop Circles on Google Earth

Check out the following two links below. The first one points out a whole load of Bigfoot sightings/encounters and other such things, whereas the second link demonstrates all the Crop Circles around the UK. They act as an add-on to Google Earth. How close are you to a Bigfoot or a UFO hot spot?
