.These Low-Budget Compilations were Everywhere in the 70's. Probably Inspired by Erik von Daniken's Mega-Success with His Book and Follow-Up Documentary (1970) "Chariots of the Gods" (nominated for an Oscar).
Mostly the Format Contained a Semi-Recognizable Host Like...Leonard Nimoy...Rod Serling...etc.
Standing Up In-Front of Archival and Public Domain Footage of "Weird", "Unknowns", "Mysteries", "Myths", "Paranormal", "Crypto..." Facts, Speculations, and Musings on Things that Academia Avoids at All Costs.
As Carl Sagan Said About UFO's in the 70's...
"There isn't a scintilla of evidence that we have been visited by Extraterrestrials."
Despite Sagan and His Colleagues echoing that Hubristic Declaration, the Citizenry was Not so Easily Persuaded. A Huge "Cottage" Industry Formed with Books, Documentaries, TV-Shows, and the Kitchen-Sink Proliferated Pop-Culture that Still is Remanent Today.
This One is a Smorgasbord of Topics...Well Handled and Presented by Host Lawrence Dobkin with Interviews and Statements from Scientists, Educators, and Experiencers.
The Documentary Covers UFOs, The Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, Ghosts, Kirlian Photography, Abductions, The Church of Satan, Witches, Atlantis, Ancient Megaliths, ESP, and more.
You Couldn't even Avoid the Phenom at the Grocery Store...Time/Life Got in on the Boom with Sets of "Encyclopedias".
The Movie has the Charm of Variety and the 95 min. Print Currently on YouTube is Excellent, and the Production Value is as Good as These Things Get.
For those with the Slightest Interest in the Paranormal and Earth Mysteries, this is Certainly...
Worth a Watch.
