Movies About Bigfoot

As it turns out, there are a surprisingly large number of Bigfoot movies out there.

Movies about Bigfoot are as hard to come by as the real thing. A fabled enormous ape known as Sasquatch has escaped Hollywood’s attention despite the fact that Hollywood is known for making films about supernatural creatures such as ghosts, man-eating beasts, and dragons.
