Some people might dispute whether this next one belongs in this lineup. "The Horror Express" (1973) is one of my favorite films.  If I wanted to introduce a new viewer to Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, this is the film I would use.  The creature is a prehistoric ape man found frozen in a Himalayan cave.  It thaws out onboard a train and starts killing people.  The movie throws in zombies, Satanism and science fiction.  But I think it also qualifies as a Bigfoot/Yeti movie.  Clearly, the Himalayan origin of the monster was meant to suggest a connection with the Yeti.

This is the Italian one-sheet:






I also love "Horror Express", an unaknowledged masterpiece. I agree that it is a Yeti-ish movie. Don't forget that it is also a Rasputin movie! A true bit of 70s Gonzo craziness.

Man - these posters are freaky beautiful!  And I agree - HORROR EXPRESS is a great flick.  I love the feeling of coldness & isolation, even though everyone's in the confines of a train.

Now I'm thinking how much I would LOVE to have an entire room dedicated to Bigfoot movie posters and ephemera!

I think I like the "Legend of Bigfoot" poster best of all. It reminds me of the poster from "Badlands".

Hey, guys!!!!!! Sorry I have not been around lately, but I am back. I  have added a few items to my collection since I last posted. I won some concept storyboard drawings from the movie Letters From The Big Man which were of unshot scenes of the movie (will post pics as soon as possible). I also have some original promotional material for Creature From Black Lake. I also recently attended the Second-Annual Oklahoma Bigfoot Symposium, and also went to Fouke, Arkansas where they filmed The Legend of Boggy Creek. Met a fellow named Smokey Crabtree who has been involved with the mystery for many years, and his son actually saw the Fouke Monster back in the 1960's. Smokey was the one consulted for his help on the movie, and some of the movie was shot on his property. He unfortunately got screwed over by the filmmaker Charles B. Pierce and his reputation suffered badly for many years in the Fouke area because the movie made everyone in the town look like hicks and Pierce took some liberties with some of the stories. Anyway, I also visited the Monster Mart there in town where they sell several items related to the Fouke Monster, including T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, books, keychains with actual soil from near Boggy Creek, posters and even vials of actual Boggy Creek water(!) Smokey was selling something even better than all those items-homemade red plum jam, which was SOOOO good. I camped out a couple of nights near Stilwell, Oklahoma with other Bigfoot researchers, and didn't really see or hear anything of note, except some strange howling the last night I was there, which I thought might have been a wolf, but I have learned there are no wolves in Oklahoma, and it did not sound like a coyote. The next to last night we were there, I was staying in the hotel in town, and my buddy that I rode with to Oklahoma was camping out there, and he was in his tent, when he heard something walking up out of the shallow creek where the campsite was at the edge of. He had an old duffel bag with some chili cans in it (he had made some delicious chili a couple of nights before) outside his tent and something walked up to the tent and started messing with the cans. Then it moved on over to a Rubbermaid Tote and started messing with it. Then, he heard someone say "Bobby, Bobby, Bobby." He thought one of the other campers there that night had heard the noises and was trying to wake up someone named Bobby. Next morning, he asked if they ever got Bobby woken up, and he was told there was no one named Bobby there in the camp that night. However, the significance of the name is, the director of the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center, D.W. Lee, has a wife named Bobbie, and they had been there earlier in the night and he was talking to her, asking her to get him something to drink or to get him stuff or whatever. SO we think a Sasquatch mimicked him talking to his wife, which is interesting, because in another area not far from there, they had their grandson Izzy there with them, and they were talking to him, calling his name. Later that night, they heard something calling out, "Izzy, Izzy, Izzy." Anyway, that is some of the cool stuff I did back a few weeks ago.

Well, that's quite an adventure! I'd like to go to Boggy Creek one of these days.

Amazing collection, Ray! And I'm glad to see that someone else digs Shriek of the Mutilated as much as I do. Such a deranged vibe to that flick. One of my favorite Bigfoot films, which I didn't see mentioned here, is NIGHT OF THE DEMON from 1980. If you haven't seen it you need to. I would imagine a one sheet from that is hard to come by but it would fit in nicely in your collection.

I've seen Night of the Demon. It had some influence on my short film, The Devil at Lost Creek. I don't think it had a theatrical release. I think it went straight to video. There might be a video poster for it, bt probably not a theatrical poster.

Shriek of the Mutilated is one of my favorite movie posters. I love that poster. I just watched the movie again a few weeks ago. There is something mesmerizing about that film.

I also got a poster for Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot, which has been seen here on the thread.
