On an expedition deep into the Himalayas, Dr. Frank Parrish would rather keep things focused on his real mission—obtaining biological samples. But as he, his photographer, and their Sherpa troop press on into the harsh, frigid wilderness, he is forced to accept one truth he’d rather not. His lead guide not only insists that a Yeti really exists, but it’s absconded with his wife, and now the Sherpa have overtaken Parrish’s mission in order to rescue her. Not only is the Yeti real, they manage to extract it from Asia and fly it to Los Angeles, all in the predictable name of science. That is, until it breaks free and threatens to cause havoc across the city!

The Snow Creature came at a critical point in the Atomic Age 1950s, as it represents a reworking of the older King Kong story into an entirely new piece of lore, exploiting the increasing interest in the Abominable Snowman. Directed by W. Lee Wilder, written by his son Myles Wilder, and starring Paul Langton, Teru Shimada, and William Phipps, this historic B-thriller played both drive-ins and regional television well into the 1960s. The half man/half monsters at Vinegar Syndrome Labs bring you this wooly trendsetter scanned and restored from its 35mm fine grain master.

STARRING: Leslie Denison, Paul Langton, Rollin Moriyama, Teru Shimada

On an expedition deep into the Himalayas, Dr. Frank Parrish would rather keep things focused on his real mission—obtaining biological samples. But as he, his photographer, and their Sherpa troop press on into the harsh, frigid wilderness, he is forced to accept one truth he’d rather not: his lead guide insists that a Yeti exists, and it has abducted his wife. The Sherpa overtake Parrish’s mission to rescue her, and the team ultimately captures the creature and transports it to Los Angeles, where it inevitably breaks free and threatens the city.

The Snow Creature emerged during the Atomic Age 1950s, reworking the King Kong template into a new piece of Yeti lore. Directed by W. Lee Wilder and written by his son Myles Wilder, the film stars Paul Langton, Teru Shimada, and William Phipps. A historic B‑thriller that played drive‑ins and regional TV well into the 1960s, it has been newly scanned and restored from its 35mm fine grain master by Vinegar Syndrome Labs.
