181 Frames of Gut-Crunching, Man-Eating Terror! Behind-the-Scenes of William Girdler's GRIZZLY

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The one that got away. [Insert sad face here.]

I've been hard at work procuring mountains of goodies for The Holecheck Archives lately (read: hemorrhaging money I don't have); some impressive, some not so much.  (Did I really need hundreds of sexploitation stills for movies I'm clueless about?  What the hell is Love Cave, anyway?)

Unfortunately, I missed out on one particularly awesome set:  not one, not two, but 181(!) 35mm still camera negatives taken behind-the-scenes of William Girdler's Grizzly.  I tried -- believe me, I tried -- but apparently my several hundred bucks wasn't good enough. Hopefully the current owner sees fit to do something worthwhile with them. 

Until then, I've presented a few low res examples below, for posterity's sake. I've tried to frame, sharpen and color correct them to get 'em as clean as possible, but there's only so much I could do.  Enjoy!
