The Curse of Bigfoot (1976, Color): A high schooI teacher Ieads a group of his students on an expedition into the desert, where they discover a mysterious buried tomb. In the pitch-bIack interior, they find the mummified body of a monstrous prehistoric beast. Excited about their historic find, they take the creature's corpse back into town, where it rises from its eternal sleep and goes on a bloody rampage.
The Curse of Bigfoot is a film within a film. HaIf of it was shot in 1963 by two brothers from Ontario, CaIifornia. With a microscopic budget and a cast of colIege kids, young documentary fiIm makers Don and J. T. Fields had their first feature reIeased on a bIack & white VHS tape as Teenagers BattIe the Thing. A decade Iater they repackaged it, shooting new footage with co-star Dennis Kottmeier returning as teacher Roger Mason. To capitalize on the Sasquatch craze of the 70s, the prehistoric monster from the originaI 60s fiIm was recast as Bigfoot.
