CURSE OF BIGFOOT 1972 (MILL CREEK)

The original film was called Teenagers Battle The Thing and it ran 59 minutes so the producers took the unreleased film, and in 1972 shot opening footage to make the film about 84 minutes long.
The new footage is rather confusing, but it comes together when a visiting professor tells another classroom of his harrowing encounter with Bigfoot.
Flash back to the original film with the students unearthing a corpse long dead and encased in a strange clay-like substance.
It comes to life and goes on a murder spree before being killed by the Sheriff and some of the students. This is an extremely low budget film, but it is appreciated by me more these days then when i first saw it.
The monster is pretty cool, and the bizarre opening footage with a zombie is all right too. Recommended late night viewing.
