I was probably about 10 or 12 years old when I first saw this movie (on television, probably during the summer vacation), and although I now approach some of it with lighthearted skepticism and grammatical criticism (“Hey! The ‘Surgeon’s Photo’ was established as a hoax almost a decade and a half ago!”; “Don’t say ‘facts’, ‘proof’ and ‘prove’; say ‘evidence’, ‘suggest’ or ‘support'”), back then I accepted it all without question. It probably aired about once a year through the mid 1980s (during the height of the cryptozoological/paranormal documentary years) and I watched it as often as I could (but was pretty much subject to the whims of the station owners and programming executives of the time; this was in the dark ages of home theater, before DVRs, Tivo and even VCRs, remember), until it all but disappeared from the scene. Armchair cryptozoologists like myself were forced to wait almost two decades before it would be made officially available on DVD.The audio [on the Cheesy Flicks DVD edition] isn’t perfect, and the picture is actually pretty poor (there’s probably only so much that can be accomplished, even with modern remastering and restorative technology, and especially when you allow for the likelihood that the original video probably hasn’t been treated with a whole lot of TLC over the past three decades), but are both are far superior to other copies I’ve owned on both DVD and VHS (which were in retrospect, of questionable legality and almost certainly bootleg, respectively).

This was great to see in the theatres and decent on TV, back when they used to show such things. “The Mysterious Monsters” is one of the best, and perhaps the best, of the Schick Sunn Classics “pseudodocumentaries” about weird and cryptozoological subjects. It comes complete with some decent recreations of people’s encounters with apelike creatures out in the forests of the US. It also gets into the Loch Ness Monster for good measure. Whenever there is purportedly “real” footage or photos, these are shown. Disregard the fact that some of the images presented here as “proof” were later proven to be hoaxes…the fun of this movie is in allowing it to suggest to you the possibility that there are strange unknown creatures lurking in faraway places or even somewhere very near your home! The shoddy science on display here is presented with a tone of grim, straight-faced seriousness (if Peter Graves believes it, so do I!). If you like the idea of “real” monsters living all over the world, this 70’s favorite will please you.

One of my favorite documentaries from the 70’s. Thanks to Cheezy Flicks for releasing this one! Like Leonard Nimoy from “In Search Of…”, Peter Graves is an excellent host for this feature-length look at the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot (and its brethren in the colder and mountainous regions of the world). The film opens with a brief summary of other “legendary” creatures, such as the gorilla and okapi. Eye-witness accounts and reenactments (which often resemble low-budget horror films… and that’s fine by me) make up a good part of the film, but there are also commentaries and demonstrations by scientists, polygraph experts and monster hunters, as well as the familiar and reassuring presence of Peter Graves, who invites us to explore these mysteries along with him. Whether you’re a skeptic or true believer, this is a fun and fascinating overview of our most mysterious yet at the same time, most familiar, creatures.

If you’re like me and grew up in the Pacific Northwest in 1970’s ( the height of the Bigfoot craze) this show is a fun trip back. It was actually in theaters! It terrified me, and made for a fun and spooky spice to camping trips! As a kid, the endorsement of Peter Graves made it seem real and legit..Back when kids were taught to trust adults and to believe everything we read. This show is Cheezy ( like the name of the company distributing it) but, if you were a kid in the 1970’s-early 1980’s it’s a fun look at 1970’s ‘documentaries ” and, how seriously some folks took the Bigfoot legend.

I had not heard of this film but decided to purchase it based on the excellent review of Monster Man. He was right on! Even though I am a Bigfoot fan and have seen many documentaries on the subject, this DVD was a rare treat. A great host with good interviews make this a great monster documentary. What really makes it stand out are the recreations. Even though this is dated, many of the stories I had never heard of. The recreations were very creepy. If you love Bigfoot, mysteries and legends, this is definitely worth having. This is now paired with Legend of Boggy Creek as my all time favorites. Thanks Monster Man for introducing me to a great gem. Again, there are many interviews and recreations of stories not found in many of the Bigfoot documentaries.

“Mysterious Monsters” is a nostalgic look at the unknown creatures of the world, or at leat a partial view of some of them. I like Peter Graves as the narrator/guide thru the world of the strange and unexplained. He gives a solid effort and it shows. While some of the sound is scratchy, I still enjoyed it enough to give it 5 out of 5 stars. At 86 minutes you get your monies worth of entertainment and satisfaction from the work done by the production crews. I never saw this DVD before July 2010, but it captures the 1970’s world to a tee. So, if you like this sort of query into strange creatures, then find the lowest price possible and get yourself a copy.

I love this doc. They use to play this back in the mid-80s on TBS when I was a kid. It creeped me out as a kid, but now it’s all fun and nostalgia.
