Southwestern Cryptid Doc “The Skinwalkers: American Werewolves 2” On VOD April 6

Documentary production company Small Town Monsters (Minerva Monster, MoMo: The Missouri Monster, On the Trail of Bigfoot, On the Trail of UFOs) have announced their first release of 2024: THE SKINWALKERS: AMERICAN WEREWOLVES 2

The follow-up to their previous massive indie hit, THE SKINWALKERS: AMERICAN WEREWOLVES 2 explores the legend and lore of the “skinwalker” amongst Indigenous people and their communities, past and present. In typical Small Town Monsters style, Seth Breedlove and his team allow those familiar with the subject, some with encounters of their own, to tell their own stories and explain the phenomenon in their own words. At its core, THE SKINWALKERS: AMERICAN WEREWOLVES 2 allows those who watch to form their own opinions on the skinwalker phenomenon via stories and opinions of those closest to the subject itself. 

“The merging of various canid legends and lore from different cultures is something that has always fascinated me. This time, we explore the shape-shifting aspect of that lore and how it stands apart while also involving various aspects of that same topic. To properly tell the story of the Skinwalker, we turned to Indigenous people from the state of New Mexico and asked them to simply tell us their own experiences and beliefs,” shared Seth Breedlove (CEO and Founder of Small Town Monsters).

Synopsis: Across the four corners of the American Southwest, there is said to exist an ancient, supernatural evil. An evil that preys on the fear of its victims to gain a greater power. Now, witnesses lift the veil on the most terrifying encounters with modern-day werewolves ever heard. Witness stories that seem to tie legends of upright canids with those of hellhounds, poltergeists and even the mythical Skinwalker. True terror awaits!

THE SKINWALKERS: AMERICAN WEREWOLVES 2 will be available on all major VOD platforms nationwide April 6, 2024. A Blu-ray (SRP $19.99) and DVD (SRP ($14.99) will be available exclusively from the Small Town Monsters shop.
