Well, I certainly appreciate the effort! I have a thing for cheeseball documentaries about weird stuff.

I've been watching "Legend of Boggy Creek" this evening, and boy, what a strange docu-style Bigfoot movie that is...features several relaxing songs about the creature and people who've seen the creature...it's really 70's...basically a movie of recreations of several Bigfoot encounters. It has a certain cheese factor going for it, but I mean that in a good way! I think the no-budget look, especially for films made in the 70's, lent a certain gritty realism to these kinds of films.

There's another interesting film called "Ghosts That Still Walk" (1975?) which is not a documentary, just a straight narrative fiction thing about some ghost attacking a family, but it's shot in such a dry style that it has that docu-feel to it. Another cheeseball classic. I've come to realize over the years that I have a real fondness for CRAP!
