Review: Monsterquest 11-05-08
This was a rather interesting episode, focusing on Real Dragons, with Aussie Cryptozologist Rex Gilroy, along with Tony Gerard and Gary Opit, an American and Australian reptile expert. They are searching in the Blue Mountains of Oz for Megalania, a giant version of the Monitor Lizard said to measure at least 30 feet long, much bigger than an average Monitor Lizard (this is supposed to have gone extinct 40,000 years ago, but may be still living in the mountains of Oz). Gilroy has apparently cast tracks of what appear to be large reptiles, possible Megalania. He is having one of the tracks analyzed by a paleontologist. Opit theorizes that the Megalania would be an ambush animal, sitting by a trail to await its next meal, which in Oz can be Kangaroos or Wallabies. The legends of dragons are very prevalent, but are only legends, not realistic. Historian Peter Hancock is also profiled to discuss the possible continuing existence of Megalania, according to the Aborigines. The large reptiles are called Goanna (Big Lizard), and the team puts up camera traps in areas where sightings have occurred and also tracks have been found. They do put up bait in front of the camera traps. Tony finds a sign of possible Goanna activity-a termite mound, which are said to be used as nests for the Goanna. A process called Parthenogenesis, which means producing offspring without a mate, is discussed (female Komodo Dragons are able to reproduce without a mate). The area in Australia where this all takes place is the Wollemi National Forest. There are other possible areas in Indonesia where these large creatures can survive and thrive. Five of those islands are known to have Komodo Dragon populations. Trooper Walsh, a retired Wildlife Biologist at the Smithsonian National Zoo, is interviewed about his impressions of the Komodo, and discusses the possible ancestry between Megalania and the average Komodo. Komodos will basically attack anything, even themselves, and human beings. In 2007 in Komodo Village, a young boy is attacked by a Komodo, and the boy's uncle rushes to his aid. He threw rocks at the reptile, which chased it off. The boy, unfortunately, died before he got proper medical attention. A Swiss diver is killed by a Komodo Dragon earlier this year. This occurred on the island of Rinca. Two researchers go to the island to explore for a giant Komodo. Next week is the Season Finale, Sasquatch Attack II, 9:00 EST/8:00 Central on History.

The Great Fear of the Unknown USA Today
Recalling some of the fears that surfaced when scientists first began to fire up the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the border of France and Switzerland. The chief fear, one that spawned lawsuits to stop the venture, was that the LHC would generate a black hole that would destroy Earth. With the LHC set to fire up again early next year, after repairs are completed, will we face more fears, the same fears or relative calm? Meanwhile, a predecessor of the LHC has come up with some unexplainable particles, as revealed in Has New Physics Been Found at the Ageing Tevatron?

Monsterquest Tomorrow...
REAL DRAGONS
The huge Megalania lizard once stalked early man, but history says that the lizard is long extinct. But could massive and deadly reptiles be making a comeback? A MonsterQuest team travels to the Blue Mountains of Australia in search of those who say the Megalaina still exists. Meanwhile, another expedition looks at Megalania's closest living cousin: the Komodo Dragon. These giant reptiles can reach sizes of over ten feet long and have a venomous bite. We examine recent reports of attacks and even killings by the world's largest known lizards.9:00 EST/8:00 Central. Check local listings for time and channel.

Review: Cryptid Hunt Episode 1: America's Loch Ness Monster
This was a great first effort from a 15-year-old young man named Jordan Warner, about Champ, the Lake Champlain creature. Jordan is able to score interviews with Sandra Mansi (the possible photographer of Champ in 1977), Benjamin Radford via Phone, John Kirk via Phone, Joe Nickell, Scott Mardis and other Champ experts and skeptics, as well as eyewitnesses. A lady named Rachel Miller from Stormboarding is also interviewed and shows an underwater camera she has developed to make an attempt to photograph the elusive creature. The camera is used in a test where an old wrecked boat is found in the bottom of the lake. This young man has made a terrific effort to really educate the Internet public about Cryptids, and has done a great job with his first effort. The next episode will feature a look at the Creature of Whitehall. That will debut on YouTube November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving. It can be found at GVKK

Review: Sasquatch Watch Radio 11-3-08
This was a GREAT show, with guest Stan Courtney, live from the Sportsman's Paradise, Louisiana, who discussed some sounds he has recorded in different areas, as well as his recording equipment and similar sounds to more famous recordings. He also discussed how he has heard different things imitated by possible Sasquatch creatures.

Review: HBM's Crypto-Corner 11-2-08
This was a GREAT show, with guests David Paulides and Harvey Pratt (The Hoopa Project: Bigfoot Encounters in California), who discussed quite a bit about the sightings they investigated and Harvey's illustration work. We took one caller, who asked some great questions to Dave and Harvey, but we got many more terrific questions from our chatroom. David discussed quite a bit about the legends and how they pertained to the modern sightings, and also his investigation techniques and how his 30 years of Police experience factors into it. Harvey is also a Policeman and a Forensic Artist, and he discussed how his work with sketching criminals pertains to his work on the sketches of the Sasquatch for the book, and also both of them are of the opinion that based on the interviews they did, they were of the opinion that the Sasquatch is human. David also discussed his upcoming sequel, which might be available by next Summer. Next Sunday, we are hoping to round out our Author's Month and a half with Kathy Strain (Giants, Cannibals and Monsters: Bigfoot In Native Culture) starting at 3:00 Eastern/2:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
DVD Review: Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Full of Action and Surprises!!!
The year is 1957, and Professor Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones (Harrison Ford) is kidnapped by Russian soldiers and their leader, Irina Spalko (Oscar Winner Cate Blanchett) to search for a magnetic box in Nevada which contains remains of alien bodies, which plays into the title of the film, referring to the Crystal Skulls. Indy and his colleague, Mac (Jim Broadbent) are taken into a secret warehouse, where Indy manages to find the crate containing the remains, but he manages to escape, but the Russians do escape with the remains. He then manages to get caught in a nuclear blast (which he survives, thanks to some quick thinking and a handy refrigerator). He is taken in and cleaned up by the U.S. Government and is fired from his Professorship at fictional Marshall College, so he embarks on a search for an old colleague, thanks to a chance meeting with a kid named Mutt Williams (Shia Lebouf), who turns out later to be Indy and Marion Ravenwood's son. His old colleague, Harold "Ox" Oxley (Oscar Winner John Hurt) holds the key to the mystery of the Crystal Skulls, but has gone missing in South America, where Indy and Mutt travel to and run into the Russians and Ox, as well as Marion (Karen Allen), and they embark on the quest to find the temple containing the answers to the whole mystery. Oh, and yes, the famous Wilhelm Scream is heard at least once in this movie. I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars. Aliens may not be everyone's cup of tea when it comes to Indiana Jones, and I admit I was not entirely sold on it, but it is still a major thrill ride, and Harrison Ford still manages to make Indy a believable and viable action hero, nearly two decades after the last adventure.

DVD Review: WWE Hell In A Cell
Welcome to The Devil's Playground!!!
Brutal. Unforgiving. Satanic. Hell on Earth. These terms have been used to describe a structure, over 2 Tons of Steel, 16 Feet (now 35 feet) high(!) which has inspired terror and revulsion in many a WWE Superstar. Only 17 of these modified cage matches have taken place since 1997, and with good reason. This type of match ends or shortens careers. Ask Superstars such as Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack and Mankind), The Undertaker, Triple H (who is nearly undefeated in HIAC), Shawn Michaels, Vince and Shane McMahon, The Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash, Batista, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, The Rock, Rikishi, Randy Orton, Edge, Kane and several others. They have all been featured in this Hellish structure, and this three-disc DVD set highlights some of the most brutal ones to take place. Blood, broken bones and brutality, the three B's are the order of the day in the Devil's Playground. I would give this set a definite 5 out of 5 stars. A really excellent and action-packed DVD set. Get this one!!!

DVD Review: Halloween (1978) Restored Edition
An absolute masterpiece of Terror!!!
This DVD, released last year, is an absolutely terrific representation of John Carpenter's vision of terror in a suburban setting. The picture is nice and crisp, thanks to THX, the sound and video system developed by Lucasfilm, a great restoration of this true classic of horror. In the film, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is terrorized by the man who later is found out to be her brother, Michael Myers, an unstoppable juggernaut of a masked killer. Myers is pursued by his Doctor, Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance in a very memorable role), who seems to encounter hints of Myers' evil as he chases him down to attempt to apprehend or kill him. 30 years later, this film still does not disappoint to frighten everyone. But hey, as Sheriff Leigh Brackett points out, "Everyone's entitled to one good scare." Plus there is a terrific behind the scenes featurette, along with cast bio and behind-the-scenes photos. Get this one if you can. 5 stars!!!

Birth of Bigfoot Times-Standard
Do you know how the name "Bigfoot" came into being? Here's the history of the first application of the appellation to the hairy apelike creature also known as Sasquatch. And you'll find some history (maybe) of Bigfoot's southern cousin in A Chilling Remembrance: Swampee the Skunk Ape. Is Eddie Ayers telling the truth about an encounter in North Carolina?

Mac Tonnies says, "We should all strive to be skeptics." Before you get all worked up in outrage, read Tonnies' definitions. There's much truth in what he has to say about these three divisions of researchers. Elsewhere, contrast Tonnies' remarks with those of ghost hunter Tonya Hacker in Paranormal Phenomena and Skeptics.

HBM's Crypto-Corner Tomorrow...
Bill and I are having our first-annual Halloween Special, where the caller with the scariest story (fact or fiction) will win a free copy of David Paulides' The Hoopa Project. The show begins at 7:30 Eastern/6:30 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
2 Reviews: Sasquatch Triangle/Lost Tapes 10-3-08
Don's show was great, with Paranormalist Rick Fisher, who discussed his research into the Paranormal, such as ghosts and a strange being he saw a few years ago he cannot explain, walking in the middle of the road. I called in and asked Rick about moving statues at cemeteries he had heard about (he has heard of a few cases). Another caller also called in and asked Rick some questions about his paranormal investigations. Rick also talked about his investigations into Thunderbirds. Next Thursday, Don welcomes Center For Bigfoot Studies founder Daniel Perez, beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Lost Tapes is a bad example of what NOT to do with a cryptozoologically-themed show. This show wasn't worth the videotape it was shot on. They had two half-hour segments, the first on Chupacabra, which showed some real footage of news reports of the Goat Sucker and a really bad story "inspired" by true events. Same thing with the Bigfoot segment which followed. This show was horrible, and I do not plan on being a regular viewer when the show begins in January. What a waste of an hour. Bad combination of the Blair Witch Project and Scare Tactics.

DVD Review: Horror of Dracula (1958)
Classic Hammer Horror!!!
This British-produced film, the first Dracula film from Hammer Studios, is brilliantly directed by Terence Fisher and is a true classic in the long-standing tradition of Hammer Horror. The story is slightly different from the original novel and also from the Bela Lugosi 1931 version, in that the budget only allowed for the story to take place basically within the same area of land. Arriving at Castle Dracula, Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) meets the Vampire Prince (played wonderfully by Christopher Lee), but does not survive his experience unscathed. His undead corpse is found by friend Professor Van Helsing (Peter Cushing, once again turning in a strong performance and playing off Lee very well), and Van Helsing releases Harker's soul. He then travels to the town Harker lived in and informs Arthur Holmwood (Michael Gough) and his wife, Mina (Melissa Stribling) as well as Holmwood's sister, Lucy (Carol Marsh). A series of occurrences bring Dracula to the town, where he vampirizes Lucy and she is found out and released also by Van Helsing. Then, Mina begins acting strange, and Van Helsing begins to suspect the Prince of Darkness has something to do with it. A climactic chase, the confrontation between Dracula and Van Helsing and the terrific ending really highlight this stellar production. The DVD of this production is a bit bare-boned when it comes to special features, with only a trailer and cast and production biographies, but it is still a true classic 50 years after its original release. I do highly recommend seeing this one and getting it if you can find it. 4 3/4 stars out of 5.
