Monsterquest: Complete Season One (2008, DVD)

The monsters are real! Well, no they’re not. Or maybe they are! But then again, maybe they’re not.  

Essentially, that’s how this reasonably entertaining series from the History Channel plays out, with real scientists and high-tech gadgetry hauled in to discern what might be living among us (don’t come seeking definitive answers).

The monsters in question include everything from the regulars--werewolves, Bigfoot--to such other oddities as Birdzilla, a giant squid, and some unidentifiable flying creatures.

Eye witness accounts abound, some humorous--all dead serious.
