In a world where science seems to have already done all the hard (and fun) work of discovering just about everything, there still remain a few mysteries.\u00a0 What happens after death, the bottom of the Mariana Trench and the existence of certain cryptids are some of the last vestiges of the unknown that humans have yet to fully map out.\u00a0 Maybe that\u2019s why the world is still so fascinated, perhaps even more so than before, with claims of cryptid sightings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cryptids are, by their most common definition, creatures that are believed to exist based not on a scientific basis but rather on anecdotal evidence of witness sightings, usually by somebody who got scared and ran away before they got a good look at the thing.\u00a0 Their existences are disputed by those who are skeptics or people who claim to be rational thinkers.\u00a0 However, whole TV shows have been dedicated to the seemingly pointless efforts of cryptozoologists.\u00a0 The show Finding Bigfoot<\/em> ran for 9 whole seasons<\/a>, and they never found any Bigfeet in that whole show (the show has been criticized by \u201cBigfoot enthusiasts\u201d for their efforts in never finding a single bigfoot).\u00a0 The fact that show and a series of fake documentaries about mermaids were big moneymakers for Animal Planet, a traditionally more scientifically-minded channel, goes to show that sometimes people just want to believe in something if it\u2019ll make life more interesting.<\/p>\n

Plenty of efforts have been made to bring the fantastical world of cryptids to the big screen<\/a>, but these efforts have not always been successful.\u00a0 However, there\u2019s still plenty of mystery and interesting lore to explore, and it could make for an enjoyable hour-and-a-half romp if given a proper attempt.<\/p>\n

There are actually three Goatman legends in separate parts of the United States, all variations describing a creature that is, as the name implies, part-goat and part-man<\/a>.\u00a0 The Goatman out of Maryland is said to wield an axe and attack parked cars, particularly at lover\u2019s lane-type hangouts.\u00a0 The Goatman in Kentucky, also referred to as the Pope Lick Monster, is said to use hypnotic and Satanic powers to convince people to trek out to a train trestle above Pope Lick Creek (hence its name).\u00a0 Those lured to the trestle are then killed by an oncoming train.\u00a0 This legend is a morbid sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, as people have adventured onto the trestle looking for the creature only to be then killed by an oncoming train.\u00a0 The Goatman in Texas, called the Lake Worth Monster, is said to hang out at the aforementioned lake and just benignly scare visitors, the story mostly used as a scary campfire story.<\/p>\n

The most effective way a Goatman movie could be made is with a combination of the Maryland and Kentucky Goatman legends.\u00a0 It would have to be called something a little more flashy than \u201cGoatman\u201d since that sounds goofy and \u201cPope Lick Monster\u201d conjures weird mental imagery.\u00a0 The movie could begin in the 1950s with a cold open of a couple being attacked by an axe-wielding creature as things get hot and heavy at a lover\u2019s lane.\u00a0 Why the 1950s?\u00a0 Because that\u2019s the quintessential time period for lover\u2019s lanes to be frequented by rambunctious young adults.\u00a0 Then, flash forward to the modern era, a group of budding cryptozoologists set out, determined to tackle the legend of the beast once and for all, one of whom it is later revealed is a descendant of the couple attacked in the cold open.\u00a0 These freelance hunters eventually find themselves at the mercy of both the Goatman\u2019s axe and as its psychic powers, which goads them into deadly situations<\/a>.\u00a0 In the end, the surviving crew members are successful, or are they?\u00a0 Subtle clues are left to imply that the characters\u2019 victory may just be a trick of the Goatman\u2019s hypnosis.<\/p>\n

This creature that is a combination of reptile and bird, occasionally depicted with octopus tentacles as well, is a creature of legend in the Northeastern United States, particularly in areas of Maryland.\u00a0 Originally called the Schneller Geist (translated to \u201cquick ghost\u201d)<\/a> by German immigrants in the area in the 1730s, the creature is said to swoop from the sky and carry its victims away.\u00a0 A seven-pointed star is said to ward the creature off, and apparently such symbols can still be found painted on barns in the area to this day.\u00a0 26th<\/sup> President Theodore Roosevelt, in all his outdoorsy man-of-action craziness, actually made plans to hunt the Snallygaster after newspaper reports of sightings had come out in early 1909.\u00a0 The Smithsonian Institute even offered a reward for the creature\u2019s hide, but it would later be revealed that these reports were faked by the newspaper to gain more readers.<\/p>\n

Now that special effects can achieve just about anything, it\u2019s the Snallygaster\u2019s time to shine, and why not do it as an alternate history sort of movie where Theodore Roosevelt actually went on that hunt<\/a> for the beast?\u00a0 Since it\u2019s an alternate history, the best time way to time things would be to set the trip before his term as president.\u00a0 The ideal ending for this movie would be for Theodore Roosevelt to come face-to-face with the creature, but instead of shooting the beast he tames it, eventually making it the presidential pet for his time in office.<\/p>\n

Translated into English, its name means \u201clarge intestine worm\u201d, though many simply call this crytpid \u201cThe Mongolian Death Worm\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0 This cryptid is said to be 2-4 feet long and live amidst the sand in the Gobi Desert, burrowing underground and becoming active during the summer months.\u00a0 The creature was claimed to be able to spit acid, touching any part of the worm was thought to be instant and painful death, and the creature was said to lay its eggs in the intestines of camels. \u00a0In 1983, a Tartar sand boa was shown to those who had claimed to have seen this creature, and they confirmed that the snake was indeed what they had thought to be the olgoi-khorkhoi.<\/p>\n

Despite its proven non-existence, a movie about a deadly sandworm that isn\u2019t enormous in size might be an interesting one for movie watchers after having seen the new Dune <\/em>and Tremors<\/em> movies.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the premise:\u00a0 A group of well-to-do singles go out into the desert on a guided tour of the Gobi Desert to live out their own version of the Eat, Pray, Love<\/em><\/a> experience.\u00a0 When they wake up in the morning to make their trip back out of the desert, their guides are nowhere to be found.\u00a0 Now lost in the desert, the vacationers have to worry about surviving the elements of the very temperamental desert, but that\u2019s not all there is to fear.\u00a0 Soon, they are beset upon by a horde of Mongolian Death Worms, a creature somebody in the group, probably Frank Grillo, has improbably read extensively about in the past.\u00a0 Then, there is much eating (of people), much praying (for survival), and much loving (at least one couple trauma-bonds and hooks up by the end of the film).\u00a0 At the end of the day, the survivors learn a valuable lesson \u2013 it\u2019s probably a bad idea to go out into the middle of a desert.<\/p>\n

Sometimes described as a giant, stinky octopus, other times described as a part-woman part-octopus hybrid<\/a>, this Ainu-folklore god is said to inhabit the coasts of Japan\u2019s Hokkaid\u014d island, though sightings have been reported in Taiwan and Korea as well.\u00a0 This creature has found its way into the Shinto belief, said to possess healing powers bestowed upon those who give offerings to the creature.\u00a0 She is said to become angry at times and consume whales and entire ships of fishermen, leaving sailors cautious to venture into her waters.\u00a0 Shrines to Akkorokamui and other octopus deities are located around Japan.<\/p>\n

Since the Akkorokamui is a literal god in a system of beliefs with a lot of adherents, as decentralized and diverse in their beliefs as Shinto is, it would probably be smart for a movie featuring this creature to take care in being respectful of the creature\u2019s mythology<\/a>, but here’s giving it a shot anyway.\u00a0 A young Japanese boy’s father is extremely ill, and hoping to attain the good favor of the deity after a visit to the shrine does not provide adequate relief, the boy sets out alone on a journey to find it.\u00a0 Fantastically, the boy does indeed find cross paths with the Akkorokamui, and despite the encounter being terribly frightening at first, the boy soon learns that the deity is in fact suffering as a result of all of the pollution that makes its way into the waters the creature inhabits.\u00a0 The boy then makes it his personal mission to right this wrong, and tries to assemble a team of people to help clean out the waters of the Funka Bay, the most common place the creature supposedly resides.\u00a0 His efforts seem to fall short, however, and all hope seems lost.\u00a0 Just when the boy has given up, he sees his father, now feeling remarkably better in a blessing from the grateful Akkorokamui, and with the father is an enormous group of people to assist in the cleanup.<\/p>\n

A more modern \u201ccryptid\u201d, the 2019 story of TV Head comes from Virginia<\/a>, where somebody in Henrico County wearing a blue jumpsuit and an old television as a helmet left old CRT TVs on the porches of 50 homes in the middle of the night.\u00a0 Footage was caught of the deed by doorbell cameras, one where TV Head gently sets the television down, gives a charming wave to the camera, and then walk away to continue its mission.\u00a0 Police found no threat to the act, no evil surprises were left inside the TVs, and all of the creature’s \u201ceggs\u201d were properly recycled.\u00a0 In a world so rife with bad news and terrible occurrences, TV Head is a cryptozoological creature that can be appreciated purely for the mystery and splendor it adds to daily life.<\/p>\n

A movie about TV Head would have to be something like a mix between E.T. and Chappie, but without the inclusion of Die Antwoord.\u00a0 A young child discovers TV Head as they set their 50th<\/sup> TV down on a porch.\u00a0 The child convinces TV Head to hang out with him in his tree fort, and soon a close bond grows between the two.\u00a0 As they become friends, the child inquires about TV Head’s origins, who responds by playing the memories of their past on their television head of a lonely existence as an outcast on their home planet<\/a>.\u00a0 At that point, the child teams up with their friends to figure out what to do with the creature, and they make an attempt to return TV Head home.\u00a0 This feat proves impossible, and while the children plan out their next steps, they realize that TV Head is not only able to hook into the latest game systems, but is able to play and enjoy the games with them.\u00a0 There, the children decide that perhaps returning TV Head to its former life as an exile is not a better life than being with people who accept and appreciate the creature for who it is.<\/p>\n
