In the 1970s, an incredibly popular new film genre emerged,
one that would later be reborn on television. And yet there has never been a
book on the subject...until now.

Weirdumentary examines over 45 movies, positioned as documentaries,
that began with Chariots of the Gods (1970) and ended with The
Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1981).

Relying on spurious experts, questionable evidence, and
low-budget dramatizations, these pseudo-scientific documentaries examined
subjects ranging from the Bermuda Triangle to Bigfoot, from the paranormal to
speculative histories. And they made millions of dollars from Americans
who repeatedly bought tickets to them at movie theaters.

Weirdumentary features a fun and accessible history of
these crazy films, individual entries on all of them, and a plethora of
fantastic images.

Weirdumentary is a must for fans of the cinema, of pop
culture, of the 1970s, and of UFOlogy, the paranormal, cryptids, and all things
weird
