Seth Breedlove, an Ohio-based filmmaker, delves into the realm of legends, folklore, and cryptids through his production company Small Town Monsters, established in 2015. Starting with the documentary “Minerva Monster,” Breedlove’s work includes exploring cases like Boggy Creek Monster, The Mothman of Point Pleasant, and The Bray Road Beast. His approach involves interviewing eyewitnesses and reconstructing each mysterious occurrence.
In a recent interview, Breedlove shared insights into his fascination with the paranormal and cryptids, tracing back to his days as a data entry worker. Boredom sparked his interest in the supernatural, leading him to delve into local monster cases such as the one in Minerva, Ohio. Despite initial setbacks with a rejected book proposal, Breedlove pivoted to producing the documentary “Minerva Monster” with minimal resources, marking the inception of Small Town Monsters.
Reflecting on personal encounters, Breedlove recounted a chilling experience in Minerva involving strange occurrences like footsteps in the woods and a hair-covered Bigfoot sighting. This firsthand encounter fueled his passion for investigating and documenting cryptids and legends, shaping the trajectory of his filmmaking journey.
Among the diverse cryptids covered in his work, Breedlove expressed a fondness for the Flatwoods Monster, a peculiar entity sighted in West Virginia in 1952. The eerie robotic appearance of the creature and the retro ambiance of the era captivated Breedlove, inspiring him to create a film that pays homage to 1950s B-movies.
Looking ahead, Breedlove revealed his upcoming project focusing on the New Jersey Devil legend, emphasizing a shift towards exploring the evolution of the myth rather than eyewitness testimonies. Additionally, he expressed interest in delving into lesser-known cases like the Hopkinsville Goblin in Kentucky and the Dover Demon, highlighting his commitment to unraveling a diverse range of cryptid mysteries.
As Breedlove continues to delve into the realm of unexplained phenomena, his work with Small Town Monsters serves as a testament to the enduring allure of cryptids and legends. Through a blend of investigative rigor and creative storytelling, Breedlove brings these enigmatic tales to life, captivating audiences with a sense of wonder and intrigue.
