Description

Snowbeast is a television film horror film, first broadcast in 1977 in the United States. The film was shot at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Colorado.

The movie details the attacks of a ravenous creature (a Yeti or Bigfoot/Sasquatch) on a Colorado ski resort. The teleplay was written by Joseph Stefano, who wrote the script for Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1960 thriller Psycho (1960 film). Stefano reportedly used a book by Roger Patterson (who claimed to have encountered a Sasquatch in 1967) as his primary inspiration, though no credit is given.

Snowbeast was directed by Herb Wallerstein, a veteran of many television shows such as I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek: The Original Series, The Brady Bunch, and The Six Million Dollar Man.
