Cast your eyes skyward once again with THE MOTHMAN LEGACY, the latest feature from Small Town Monsters and cryptid documentarian Seth Breedlove. The final chapter in the ever-inquisitive filmmaker’s Mothman trilogy, THE MOTHMAN LEGACY deepens the legend of Point Pleasant’s resident harbinger of doom with a dozen eyewitness interviews and glimpses of some of West Virginia’s most haunting landscapes. 
 
 
THE MOTHMAN LEGACY is directed by Seth Breedlove, produced by Adrienne Breedlove, and narrated by former Rue Morgue contributor Lyle Blackburn. The film features cinematography by Zac Palmisano, an original score by Brandon Dalo, and a killer one-sheet from acclaimed artist, Christopher Shy (MANDY, GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS). THE MOTHMAN LEGACY is being funded through a campaign via Kickstarter which launches Thursday, February 6th.  Rewards include copies of the film on DVD and Blu-Ray, posters, t-shirts and more!
 
Check out the trailer below, contribute to the Kickstarter campaign, and catch THE MOTHMAN LEGACY when it premieres in Fall of 2020!
