I can remember watching Saturday afternoon matinee movies on TV. They always had the typical sci-fi and horror fare, but I really got a charge out of the movies TV Guide labeled "Speculation." My favorites, were the feature-length documentaries about legendary man-monster Bigfoot.
To kids of the '70s, Bigfoot was fascinating in a way other monsters weren't. It's one thing for kids to believe in monsters, but with Bigfoot, Adults believed too. They were all over the TV, and in magazines and newspapers telling their thrilling stories of frightening encounters with the mythical ape creature of the Pacific Northwest.
And adults never lie, right?
