The first reason why Steve Harmon is innocent because Steve did not know Bobo Evans.

Technically‚ a monster should only be something spoken of in fairytales or legends; a mythical creature that resembles something of a mix between a human and an animal.

It’s riddled with groan-inducing moments‚ but I gotta admit‚ I had a fun time with it. It very well could be that Heather Rae Young is smoking hot (the other woman in the movie aren’t bad on the eyes either) and seeing her dance‚ to distract crazed Bigfoots‚ is something that I haven’t
