Film review: Uwharrie

Happy Friday everyone,

I spent Thursday night as you know watching "Uwharri". Filmed on location I believe at Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina.
This film is from the "found footage" genre which as you know can be really hit or m miss. It was a short movie - around 45 minutes. With some of these movies I've watched, that can be more than enough.
The premise of the movie is a friend taking his good buddy camping for his bachelor party. I'm telling all my friends now if I get married the woods is not going to be plan for my celebration.
And on their first day, they see what they think is a Sasquatch. They are not sure if  it is real or some kind of a joke, later that night they hear a noise and shadows on their tent. Fast forward to morning and in Blair Witch fashion they are left a little surprise outside their tent. Then the fun begins..
What I loved about the film was its length, getting right to the point. And having bigfoot everywhere. It is low budget fun and the ending is a twist.
The acting was predictable and not the best acting. Not the worst either. But the film kept you engaged which is more than I can say for some. So shout out to Michael and Christopher who obviously worked  on this film themselves.
It is worth seeing and  the Uwharrie  area of Montgomery County is known for several Bigfoot sightings. The residents leave out candy bars and peanut butter snacks for him in the woods.
Lucky guy or ape or both. The town has Facebook page called Uwharrie Bigfoot Investigations
I may have to swing down there and grab a snack myself.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo
