I am so glad this popped into my feed. I laughed way too hard! "Showing admirable disregard for her severed jugular", "Were the instructions really that hard?" OMG, LOLOLOL
Gotta learn the song, "Here comes the yeti nooooooow!!" This would have worked so well with the group I was in that also did the Green Acres Theme and Mellow Yellow (we could make that last one work because one guy could play the French horn).
My favorite 'Yeti' movie (although as pointed out by Håvar Eriksen below, Yetis live in the Himalayas) is the 1977 TV movie Snowbeast. I was ten when I saw it and it scared the crap out of me. I suppose by today's standards, it's nothing special, but I'll always have a nostalgic view of it.
- Have you heard? Professor Creepeerton's whole class vanished during a field trip to hunt a yeti! Again! It's what, the sixth time his entire class vanishes during an expedition never to be seen again? - Seventh! I swear to you, that happens 50 more times and I might start suspecting something is amiss!
So many laughs from this that I'm suffering from Shriek of the Delighted! (as opposed to the Shirek of The Mutilated that I express every day). On a non-hilarious note, Robin's hair looks amazing. The subject of Bigfoot seemingly should make for an easy horror film, but every single one of them are GARBAGE. Seems a good Bigfoot film is as elusive as the creature itself. Does that make "Harry and the Hendersons" the cinematic equivalent of the Patterson Film? It's funny you mention Scooby-Doo because the voice on the guy with the froofy hair sounds like a Desperately Poor Man's Vincent Price. Maybe the similarities to Scooby-Doo are not a coincidence.
Thank you so much for reviewing this film. I can't believe that I forgot about this Scooby-Doo knockoff.:-) Believe it or not, there actually was another Scooby-Doo knockoff film called "Saturday Morning Massacre" which was even worse than Shriek.
"King Kong Escapes" is a live-action version of the 1966 Rankin-Bass cartoon called "King Kong". "Death Race 2000" is a live-action Speed Racer cartoon. "Godzilla vs. Megalon" is a live-action version of Hanna-Barbera's Godzilla cartoon. While the following I am going to mention are not horror films, here are two movies that feel like cartoons. "God Bless America" is a live-action version of a cartoon that is NOT for kids called "Dan Vs." "Spy" is a live-action version of the Nickelodeon cartoon "T.U.F.F. Puppy".
From the forest setting, it seems they should be on a Bigfoot or Sasquatch expedition. Yeti's are native to the Himalayas, if they were to exist at all that is. Good review, though.
Peter Fonda made a movie down in the Philippines called DANCE OF THE DWARFS. And it borrowed heavily from the bogart classic THE AFRICAN QUEEN. It was a pretty good movie. It wasn't no EASY RIDER BUT STILL .
'Shriek of the Yeti' sounds like a cross between a Bigfoot thriller and a little of a Slasher Film. NIGHT OF THE DEMON from 1980 does this better - sort of
If you listen carefully, you'll note they didn't even write a musical score for this thing. They use snippets of Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique, probably violating copyright.
All you need to know about the director, Michael Findlay, is that he was the kind of director who not only directed bad movies, buts some of them were cheap exploitative crap solely made for the deepest darkest level of the grindhouse market. And it's not even the good kind of bad you see on Svengoolie or Elvira or Count Gore de Vol. I'm talking about the kind if subject matter you don't want to watch from something like the Cannibal Holocaust or A Serbian Film or Silo: 13 Days of Sodom. In other words, the movies has bad quality, bad production, and themes & content most people would not want to see.
You know what else? The Charlie Brown cartoons remind me of Children Of The Corn. Seriously. Ever notice how know one sees (or hears) the parents. Think about it. Would also explain the great pumpkin.
I dunno I love the idea of it starting off as a yeti hunt only to go off the rails about it all being a set up for a cult of canibals. But no doubt the mmovie is shit.
Why are they looking for a Yeti in North America ? Do not Yetis supposed to live in Far East Asia ? Would not have it made more sense if they were looking for a Sasquatch ? I can only guess the movie compony couldn't get afford a dark colored monster costume but they got a White monster costume on discount, and decided ''To hell with a Sasquatch, we'll call it a Yeti. ''
Oh dear, oh dear. So...how'd he kill Tom again? Unless he's hot glued miniature chainsaws to his costume's fingers, I can't see how all that was left was a leg.
I saw this movie on television only once and ......I HATED IT!! It had me shriek not in fear, but in anger. I have seen some very good, low budget horror movies. This film was not one of them. Some college students sent on an exhibition to explore the existence of The Abominable Snowman, only to find out they become victims of a cannibal cult. The scene with the distressed guy getting intoxicated and slitting his girlfriend's throat, who in turn kills him by tossing a toaster into the tub he is bathing in told me right there that this was a very stupid movie. I was so pissed by the dire closing of this stink bomb, that I swore I would never watch it again. It deserves to be dead, buried and forgotten.
SCOOBY DOO WITHOUT THE DOG !!!!!. That's like playing DON'T FEAR THE REAPER without the COWBELL !!!!!!!!! How expensive could a dog be ???? It's not like the dog needs any lines. You wouldn't have to rewrite the script.
I have a penchant for good bad movies .... movies enjoyable despite itself . The question is which it is ? A good bad movie or a horrible bad movie ? Know what I mean ? This one looks to be the latter .
As for the lead, sorr6 not quite right. The lead could be of normal size as there are some Countries in the world, particularly in the US who use power sockets jn the bathroom. It wouldn't happen in the UK as most people here real8se that power sockets plus damp conditions and water is a bloody stupid idea.
Are film schools really still teaching day for night exposure for film making? I always found it practically impracticality not a horror movie but the movie Maya the elephant is the closest thing to a live action Johnny quest movie as it will ever get. And made at the perfect decade for it to have been made
My understanding is that the film stock needed to shoot night has a high groan structure making it significantly more costly. Now we can just crank up the iso.
"This is Scooby-doo without the dog" ZOINKS! I never thought of it like that
I am so glad this popped into my feed. I laughed way too hard! "Showing admirable disregard for her severed jugular", "Were the instructions really that hard?" OMG, LOLOLOL
"Should we kill him now?" "No, not yeti."
I misread the title as 'Shrek of the Mutilated' and thought Dreamworks had taken a decidedly darker tone for the latest outing of the beloved Ogre
I did the same multiple times.
It would be a better film than this one.
it was already dark thanks to "Shrek is Love Shrek is Life"
After Winnie the Pooh : Blood and Honey comes Shrek of the Mutilated 😭🤣.
@@awfulmoviereviews6792 I'd watch it
"...showing admirable disregard for her severed jugular..."
You caught me laughing out loud on that one. Very funny review.
What sort of field trip leaves you with PTSD? If you'd been at school in the 70s, you'd understand.
Thank you for finally giving this movie a shot
At least the "plot twist" explains why there's a Yeti in the suburbs of New Jersey.
The yeti costume reminds me of Wendy Darling's dog Nana in the stage versions of Peter Pan.
"Scooby Doo without the dog," oh, you mean "Velma."
Not only the people - even the van had flowers on it. It's clearly the Mystery Machine.
This movie is tons of fun. More entertainment than we deserve. I love it.
Curucu, Beast of the Amazon and The Beach Girls and the Monster are two such movies with Scooby-Doo type reveals.
Gotta learn the song, "Here comes the yeti nooooooow!!" This would have worked so well with the group I was in that also did the Green Acres Theme and Mellow Yellow (we could make that last one work because one guy could play the French horn).
Whenever my brother's little kids couldn't have things their way, I often heard "the shriek of the mutilated."

I remember seeing this as a little kid. I thought I was misremembering it until I saw your review!
Thank you so much for reviewing this film. I can't believe that I forgot about this Scooby-Doo knockoff.:-)
Believe it or not, there actually was another Scooby-Doo knockoff film called "Saturday Morning Massacre" which was even worse than Shriek.
I'm pretty sure they forgot to use the day for night filter. Or afford it.
"King Kong Escapes" is a live-action version of the 1966 Rankin-Bass cartoon called "King Kong".
"Death Race 2000" is a live-action Speed Racer cartoon.

This is odd and so bad. My wife thought that the Yeti costume was cute but...Plot?
The movie was originally going to be titled "Village of the comb overs."
What if the real Yeti showed up and started attacking the fake ones?
Just like in a episode of Johnny Quest.
The interlacing made my eyes bleed!
Please do Tanya's Island!
Interlacing is the bane of my life these days!
There was a dog, THE MOVIE.
From the forest setting, it seems they should be on a Bigfoot or Sasquatch expedition. Yeti's are native to the Himalayas, if they were to exist at all that is. Good review, though.
Please review Winterbeast, the whole film is on youtube as we speak.
Peter Fonda made a movie down in the Philippines called DANCE OF THE DWARFS. And it borrowed heavily from the bogart classic THE AFRICAN QUEEN. It was a pretty good movie. It wasn't no EASY RIDER BUT STILL .
"Maybe next year do South Pacific". Brilliant XD.

"I'll go and get help, while you put on that tune that sound's a bit like Monty Python (at 3:40)"
Have you reviewed Blood Freak yet? Because I'd definitely give that a recommendation.
Tyrant Gregcag BLOOD FREAK was boring. The caption for that crapfest was "A Dracula on drugs"
Bath time! Ooh! Toast sounds good too!
If you listen carefully, you'll note they didn't even write a musical score for this thing. They use snippets of Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique, probably violating copyright.
Some real talent behind this movie, hector berlioz wrote the score

i really like these movies.
You know what else? The Charlie Brown cartoons remind me of Children Of The Corn. Seriously. Ever notice how know one sees (or hears) the parents. Think about it. Would also explain the great pumpkin.
But they're so fun on the slim Jim commercials!
0:50 can you actually scream with a slit throat? I don't think so. Gurgle, maybe.
The fight scenes from MATRIX RELOADED reminded me of the fight scenes from the old cartoon show MIGHTY MOUSE.
That yeti looked like my dog!
Big Doggie. 🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺
Well, the movie may be awful, but it makes up for it with the amazing music...
Maximum Overdrive resembles transformer cartoons. Evil trucks (desepticons) attacking people. Does that count?
watchwaddle NO!
I dunno I love the idea of it starting off as a yeti hunt only to go off the rails about it all being a set up for a cult of canibals. But no doubt the mmovie is shit.
I'm just waiting for "The Wild World of Batwoman" :)
I hear you, i am still trying to track down a copy.
Thanks!
I saw this on a UHF station 40 years ago, but it ran with a different title; can't remember it now. Edited into incomprehensibility too.
Why are they looking for a Yeti in North America ? Do not Yetis supposed to live in Far East Asia ? Would not have it made more sense if they were looking for a Sasquatch ?
I can only guess the movie compony couldn't get afford a dark colored monster costume but they got a White monster costume on discount, and decided ''To hell with a Sasquatch, we'll call it a Yeti. ''
Vinegar Syndrome released on Blu-ray. Worh it.
Oh, I got another. Inspector Gadget resembles Robocop. O.K., I know Robocop isn't exactly a horror movie, but they do have silimlarities.
Oh dear, oh dear. So...how'd he kill Tom again? Unless he's hot glued miniature chainsaws to his costume's fingers, I can't see how all that was left was a leg.
This was the greatest piece of shit I ever watched. I have two dvds of this flick.
The, true budget for this film is unknow
The biggest twist is the Indian could speak the whole time!
The worst is yeti to come.
How is he still teaching? Tenure
I'm pretty sure the Bowery Boys movie Master Minds inspired the 80s cartoon Fangface.

You've obviously never been on a public-school field trip in the US.
Cost three dollar to make. Earned 18 dollar. 500% in profit!
5:16 my God! They must have been prescient. Looks like something that happened January 6.
The qurestion how the professor was allowed to continued teaching when his student have a tendency to die - the answer is simple: tenure. 🙂
hey, good video
this is the opposite of loch ness horror
Shriek of the people who paid to watch this!
I should of been the cannibals that should of died in this movie!
Wow.
Your presentations of B-Movie trash makes them look like Citizen Kane.
Bravo.
Whacked out stuffed.
SCOOBY DOO WITHOUT THE DOG !!!!!. That's like playing DON'T FEAR THE REAPER without the COWBELL !!!!!!!!!
How expensive could a dog be ???? It's not like the dog needs any lines. You wouldn't have to rewrite the script.
White meat or dark I laughed so hard at that. Any way if you guys get time how about it came from the ocean floor a short but slightly exciting movie
And what the heck does the title mean anyway?
Bad Kids Go To Hell & Velma Doesn't Hold Back~!!!
Wow that Yeti suit is ass. I'm glad it really was just an suit in the story too.
haven't heard of from hell it came it's about a killer tree
Do the monster walks
Do the screaming skull
I have a penchant for good bad movies .... movies enjoyable despite itself . The question is which it is ? A good bad movie or a horrible bad movie ? Know what I mean ? This one looks to be the latter .
Requested six times hu?
Please review The Vulture (1967)
PLEASE DO FROM HELLIT CAME

please review brooke shields brenda starr movie.....it's horribly bad.
We will check it out.
Do it came from outer space
It really wasn't a stinker of a movie, but would "Between Two Worlds" be worth a review?
Sort of Herschell Gordon Lewis without the rigorous mise-en-scène.
Saturday Morning Massacre is blatant rip off Scooby Doo. it even has a dog.
Good grief! White meat or dark 😂
😂
Yeah not the worst About Snowman movie ever saying OK this just completely bad
Review terror toons
YOU BETTER DO IT
This movie is considerably much worse than you make it sound! Yikes!!
PLEASE DO IT
PLEASE
please PLEASE PLEASE
Personal Diety, this is a horrible movie!
Are film schools really still teaching day for night exposure for film making? I always found it practically impracticality not a horror movie but the movie Maya the elephant is the closest thing to a live action Johnny quest movie as it will ever get. And made at the perfect decade for it to have been made
