Anybody actually own the paperback book?


I have the paperback/movie-tie in book for The Mysterious Monsters. It's fun reading if you are into the Bigfoot stuff. I found mine at Goodwill in pretty nice condition. If you can find it don't pass it up. It also has some pictures from the movie in it too.

I have also have the one-sheet movie poster and a few lobby cards.

Nice...you actually have sort of a full-on collection!

I had the paperback book as a kid in the 70's, and then lost it;

Then, in 1995, I was in the foresty area of Big Bear, CA, and found another copy in a used bookstore for a dollar. I totally grabbed it!

The one-sheet posters seem to be pretty rare, so the fact that you have one is impressive...

I like to collect Sunn Classic Pictures and Bigfoot related memorabilia, but the stuff seems like it is getting rare and more expensive.


I did get a Legend of Boggy Creek onesheet, pressbook, and a few lobby cards. Also a onesheet and a pressbook for Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot.

Someone needs to make an epub file out of that book. I would love to read it.

I do have the book and yes, it's well worth seeking out for fans of the film. Considering the subject matter, the way it's written is surprisingly sober and matter-of-fact. The story of Zack Hamilton, who snapped one of the earliest and most notorious Bigfoot photographs and then seemed to just vanish, still fascinates me.
