Film brings Bigfoot legend to life
A legend came to life this week.
For a few brief days, the question of
whether or not a Bigfoot type ot
creature exists seemed to have been’
answered.
As many as five of the legendary
creatures have been sighted in the Mt.
Hood National Forest between Tim
berline Lodge and the Hood River Inn.
The Hood River Inn9
No, Bigfoot isn’t carrying a Master
Charge card these days, but the Hood
River Inn was the headquarters for a
crew film ing a movie entitled “ Myths
and Monsters.”
The adventure-docum entary con
cerns tales of relichominids, a genus
category which includes Bigfoot,
Sasquatch, Yeti, the abominadable
Snowman and other sim ilar creatures
of folk lore.
The film , authorized by Alan Land-
sburg Productions of Beverlv Hills,
attempts to despel common misbeliefs
many people have about Bigfoot.
And w hile many people have
mistaken the five hairy humans for
Bigfoot, the actors certainly knew the
difference. After 5-7 hours in the make
up chair donning their costumes, they
probably would have preferred the real
creatures to stand in.
A little paint here, a few fangs there
and the makeup began to take shape. A
mold provided the facial features, and
though the hair was applied by tufts, it
must have seemed like individual
strands to the impatient actors.
The end result though was startling,
with the shocked faces of onlookers an
adequate measure. But after a few
days, the crew w ill be gone, the furor
w ill die down and the Hood River Inn
w ill return to normal.
And the legend of Bigfoot w ill live on.
A C T IO N !
BIGFOOT LIVES in the minds of some
and on film for others. "Myths and
M onsters,"
an Alan
Landsburg
Production, is being filmed around the
world. The crew has been in the Mt. Hood
area recently working on a Bigfoot
sequence for the film. The movie
documents folk lore and actual sightings
of Bigfoot and his relatives such as the
Yeti, Sasquatch and the Abominidable
Snowman.
