Eduardo Sanchez Interview

This is the interview of all interviews. Tonight is a holy grail episode, the one, the only, Eduardo Sanchez, director of the acclaimed found footage film "The Blair Witch Project." Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film, Eduardo was a guest at Horrorhound that we met and so graciously agreed to talk with us. Besides Blair Witch, we discussed his other film, 2014 "Exists," and talk at length about our shared love of all things Bigfoot. We also discussed his most recent collaboration with other Latino filmmakers in the 2022 Shudder featured anthology "Satanic Hispanics." This was a dream come true for us and we can't thank Eduardo enough for his time.

The Legend of Frogman

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a...FROGMAN?! We talked about the movie last week, this week we're talking about the legendary cryptid that inspired it: The Loveland Frogman of Ohio. With the first sighting in 1955 and the last sighting in 2016, for over 60 years the legend and lore surrounding Frogman (or FrogMEN?) has been shrouded in mystery. Is it real, is it a hoax, is it a Pokemon? Find out for yourself at 3AM down by the Little Miami River.

Goatman

The Goatman legend spans 3 states: Maryland, Kentucky and Texas. In Maryland, he stalks the woods of Prince George's County, possibly the result of a science experiment gone wrong. In Kentucky, he hides under a train trestle near Pope Lick Creek using hypnosis to lure trespassers to their deaths. In Texas, there are 2 reported legends, one in Fort Worth near a nature center and the other on Old Alton Bridge in Denton with the latter having very tragic, racist ties. Tonight we talk about all the legends and even a 2023 film (neither of us had seen by the time of this recording.) Is there one Goatman or many?
