Seemingly reaching as far back as well over 1000 years, human beings have been reporting & sharing tales of massive, hairy creatures haunting, hunting, or simply observing them in the woods. Admittedly varying in specifics & details, but almost always eerily similar in the creatures' name(s), folk stories of the Bigfoot spread far and wide across these United States. Whether Indiginous stories from Painted Rock, 16th century accounts of los Vigilantes Oscuros, Skookum in the Pacific Northwest, or Iroquois legends of Stone Giants, & the alleged birthplace of the most well known namesake; Bigfoot, from the infamous Humboldt County, California -- these creatures have become a part of our collective conscious whether you think them real or simply a hoax.This July, Vinegar Syndrome & Severin Films face off to find the truth once and for all! Things will kick off with a debaucherous & unbelievable journey through Bigfoot's appearances throughout film & television history, ranging from documentary & children's films to horror & XXX films and everything in between, with a comprehensive & exhaustive Sasquatch mixtape! Then join us as we climb into a double feature so bizarre and absurd, that you may not make it out alive!CRY WILDERNESS (Dir. Jay Schlossberg-Cohen, 1987, 93 min., DCP)A young boy befriends bigfoot, who instructs the boy to venture into the wilderness in order to save his father from impending danger.See Bigfoot. See Bigfoot run. See Bigfoot run away from those trying to kill him. Paul is very young. See Bigfoot befriend Paul. See Paul’s father, the park ranger, try to catch an escaped tiger. Paul tries to dissuade Paul’s father. Paul’s father is in a jam, for everyone in town is on edge, and wants the tiger killed. Paul tries to keep Bigfoot a secret... CRY WILDERNESS is basically the equivalent of a children’s storybook Bigfoot story, but so much stranger than you could possibly imagine. Plus, Director Jay Schlossberg-Cohen and writer Philip Yordan were two of the wackos responsible for the most ridiculous horror omnibus of all time, NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR, so you know you're in good hands for a brain-melting time at the movies!NIGHT OF THE DEMON (Dir. James C. Wasson, 1980, 96 min, DCP)Amid the gush of early ‘80s low-budget backwoods horror, only one lost classic brought together softcore sex, hardcore violence, Satanic sex cults and a limb-tearing, gut-slinging, dick-ripping beast for “the best and bloodiest Bigfoot movie ever made.” (Buried.com): When a group of Anthropology students heads deep into the forest to investigate a series of Sasquatch attacks, they’ll discover an immortal brain-blast of crazy hermits, mutilated Girl Scouts, interspecies copulation and “one of the goriest final scenes in the whole history of splatter flicks” (A Slash Above). Producer/co-writer Jim L. Ball and director James C. Wasson deliver “an anti-masterpiece that moves like a bullet, unlike anything you’ve ever seen” (Mondo Digital) now scanned in 2K from the recently discovered 35mm answer print!
