Remember Zach Galligan, the sweet-faced youth from Gremlins? Well, he's older now and has developed a hatred for the furry creatures of the world in Nightbeasts. Here's the tagline: "They come out at night." You don't say. More »

The latest pair of possible Bigfoot sightings has confirmed our suspicions: The Hendersons' favorite house guest hates posing for pictures. A footprint was discovered in the jungle of Sumatra, and yet another candid was taken in Kentucky. More »

"Now the two Georgia men admit that the hairy, icy blob was an Internet-purchased Sasquatch costume stuffed with possum roadkill and slaughterhouse leftovers." Legal actions are underway, according to CNN. I still say those two fellas almost got away with the perfect crime. [CNN] More »

The Bigfoot press conference yielded no results and has only enraged the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. The watchdog group voiced its expert opinion on the OMFG Bigfoot situation we covered yesterday. The experts claim fraud, and the press conference did nothing to put out the fires of controversy sweeping the nation. Is the cooler full of Bigfoot really just a costume? Video from the Georgians and more pictures from the press conference after the jump. UPDATE: video link to press conference is included. More »

They found Bigfoot! That's right, you heard me: Bigfoot. For all you disbelievers, they have a picture to prove it as well. No, that's not the remnants of a bear with a gorilla mask thrown on top, that's Bigfoot. Tomorrow, there will be a huge press conference deciding finally whether or not it actually is a mutant sasquatch, when it clearly is. But no one is asking the important questions here. What about Bigfoot's rights? And where the hell are the Hendersons in all of this? Click through for a closer look and the big question that will hopefully be addressed tomorrow. According to the press release the creature that was discovered is 7 feet and 7 inches tall, and weighs 500 pounds. His feet are flat and it was found in the Northern woods of Georgia. (Actual location isn't being revealed). First and foremost what about Bigfoot's rights? Is he man or beast? If he's a man doesn't he get burial rights? Where do you bury Bigfoot? I've heard he's Canadian. If he is, in fact, of Canadian origin, that's a ton of paperwork his loved ones will have to go to to transfer the body through the border while deciding if it's animal remains or human remains. I know I've been on the phone trying to get to the bottom of this question with the Canadian embassy for some time. Also, if he's Canadian, how did he get so far from home? What if he has no one to claim his remains, will he become a burden of the state? Will the United States government try and find his lineage? It saddens me thinking of Bigfoot in one of those standard government style burials. This is fucking Bigfoot people, show a little respect. Here are the gentleman that discovered the gentle beast. From the left, Mathew Whitton, Tom Biscardi, and Rick Dyer gather round a cooler full of Bigfoot. I'll be covering the all-important Bigfoot press conference tomorrow at 12 PM Pacific Coast Time. At the conference they will be revealing pictures and DNA evidence. Hopefully they will reveal the DNA evidence like Maury's "who's your daddy" episodes. So stay tuned and hopefully they will be able to answer all of my questions tomorrow, as opposed to the "you'll have to wait" comment I got earlier. [Searching For Bigfoot] More »
