Pictures of The "Clawed" Costume During Production


Back in 2012, shortly after Bigfoot researcher Melissa Hovey posted her "Bigfoot" photograph online, Coalition for Reason, Science, Sanity in Bigfoot Research team member Dave Conover contacted costume designer John Healy of Healy FX to get his take on the photograph. After a quick look at the photograph, Healy admitted that Hovey's creature did not resemble his suits. "Three costumes were fabricated... All were dressed with roughly the same fur, and none resembled your attached photo," Healy wrote. Though he doubt it was one of his suits used in Hovey's photograph, he think it's possible the costume was modified to look a little different. "In my opinion, if this was a copy of our Clawed sasquatch. The fur may have been pulled off and replaced with a longer, multi toned synthetic that appears to be on a lace mesh," he explained.

Healy shared these images with Conover, who posted it on Facebook:

We recently contacted Karl Kozak via email and we have confirmed he is rightful owner of the Hovey photograph. After losing a court battle with Phil Poling, Hovey has been forced to remove her copyright claim on the photograph. Here's what Kozak wrote regarding his Claw photograph:

Hi Shawn -

The photo that Melissa Hovey is circulating was taken during a filming break on my film "CLAWED: The Legend of Sasquatch". We shot the feature in the woods of North Bend, Washington. The actor was about 6'4" and wearing this silicon suit we had created by a SPX company that is no longer in business. I have many other photos of the suit and the actor "behind the scenes". I threw out the suit several years ago as it was aging and not pleasant smelling.

We recently wrote to Miss Hovey and asked her to remove the copyright from that photo, as it is our photo. We got an email saying "Melissa is out of town and we'll get back to you" response from her assistant (supposedly). We never heard back from her.

All those wanting to see the film can catch it on Netflix. I have to at least make a plug for the film, right.

Thanks !

    1. I agree and I didn't get excited as the real deal when it was first published because no face. These photos and costume are not of the same thing. The dullness of the costume coat sticks out among other details. It sounds more like a pitch campaign for a B rate film. Probably the most viewers they have gotten so far.

    1. A suit showing skin under grey hair is confirmed to be a suit not showing skin under brown hair.

  5. Gasp! It's not the same. The color is wrong. The neck is wrong. The sparcity of hair is wrong. The underlying skin is wrong. That means,................ that the Hovey Photo is of a REAL SASQUATCH!

    1. The BF is standing in front of a loquat tree? Because I have one in my yard and I am a credible BF investigator, I then surmise that this picture was taken somewhere south of the 36th N. latitude most likely So.Cal. And yes it has both sex organs like myself. Again I apologize........
