BIGFOOT: THE MYSTERIOUS MONSTER is one of those true-life paranormal documentaries that were all the rage back in the 1970s. I wasn't around then, but I remember a similar boom in the X-FILES obsessed 1990s so these are cute and kitsch for me. Peter Graves shows up as an oh-so-serious narrator, looking at various cryptozoological mysteries around the globe. Bigfoot aka the Sasquatch gets the lion's share of the attention here, and we get plenty of cheesy restagings of supposed sightings and attacks, which are always a hoot. Elsewhere we look at the Yeti, the Loch Ness monster and some other unexplained phenomena like hypnotism. It slows down a bit at the end, but remains novel throughout.
