Episode 45: The Mothman Prophecies, Trollhunter, and Creature from Black Lake In this episode of Vox Macabre, Kit Mann takes listeners on a journey into cryptid lore and mysterious creatures with three unique films. First, we dive into The Mothman Prophecies (2002), a psychological thriller based on real-life sightings of the Mothman, a creature whose appearance seemed to predict the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant. Kit explores the film’s chilling atmosphere and how it plays on the real-life terror surrounding the Mothman legend. Next up is Trollhunter (2010), a found-footage film that blends Norwegian folklore with modern-day documentary style. Kit discusses how the movie gives trolls a terrifying new presence in modern cinema while grounding their mythology with a scientific twist. Finally, we venture into the swamps of Louisiana with Creature from Black Lake (1976), a lesser-known Bigfoot film that taps into the Southern obsession with cryptids. We talk about how this cult classic helped shape regional monster movies and the enduring fascination with the legend of Bigfoot. Along with these reviews, we answer listener questions from all over the country and share a new Campfire Tale about a ranger’s terrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger in the woods. Tune in for an episode filled with eerie folklore, legendary creatures, and spine-chilling stories!
