      Champ Day Starts with Film Screening of MONSTER FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR

      July 30, 2022 By Andy MacDougall Leave a Comment

      It’s an honor and privilege to have been recruited by the Moriah Chamber of Commerce to kick off their two-day “Champ Day(s) 2022” festivities with one of my film screenings. On Friday, Aug. 5th at 7 pm, I will present my 16mm print of the 1954 sea-monster classic “Monster from the Ocean Floor,” essentially a boy-meets-girl adventure in the cryptozoological realm. The one and only Roger Corman began his impossibly prolific career with this movie (eventually becoming film history’s most influential producer, now 96 and still going strong).

      “Monster from the Ocean Floor” is actually less about a sea monster than sheer on-location ambiance, with an atmosphere evocative of the mystery and sense of wonder stirring imaginations around the world (not just regionally) about Lake Champlain’s oldest and most enduring folklore – the legend of Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster.

      The free screening’s location will be at Bulwagga Bay Beach, Bulwagga Drive, Port Henry. Please register planned attendance at serious_61@yahoo.com or text 518-802-1220.

      About Andy MacDougall

        Ah, Essex, my misspent youth knew it well as a wayward angler on the Boquet River, disrespecting all trout-pursuit restrictions. Regrettable, but there are worse things to try excusing with “boys will be boys.” Thankfully I matured into a productive citizen, namely as the Press-Republican's first movie reviewer. As prospective emcee of the first Mayor's Cup movie, I now return to the proverbial scene of the crime with bigger fish to fry. Ouch, allow me to rephrase. Friends, Roman Catholics, North Countrymen (and women) of all walks.....lend me your ears. I’ve come not to bury but to praise Champ. Read on. Learn more about me on this All Points North article, "16 What-a-meter?".
