It Must Be Seen To Be Believed…

Set during the fall (NOT winter), a small New England town is brutally ravaged by possessed totem poles.

Winterbeast began production in 1985. Producer Mark Frizzell thought it would take a weekend to finish. By 1989, he pulled the plug.

Originally, the filmmakers imagined the Winterbeast to be a stop-motion creature. This became a guy in a costume, of which some footage was shot. When the film fell apart, Frizzell did a little stop motion bits between gigs at his day job to fill in the missing monster footage. The film as we know it was released in 1992.

So the monster you see on the cover is not actually in the movie, instead you'll see some foolish claymation creatures.
