A Canadian filmmaker has entered the Guinness Book of World Records after producing more live-action films about Bigfoot than anyone else in history. The record was officially awarded to Elliott Scott, director at Splatter Films 69, during Winnipeg Horror Con on Saturday, September 13, 2026.
A Record-Breaking Career in Bigfoot Cinema
Scott’s achievement places him at the top of a very specific corner of filmmaking. No other director has produced as many live-action Bigfoot films as he has. The recognition came at a fitting venue, with horror and genre film fans gathered at Winnipeg Horror Con to celebrate the occasion.

Scott reflected on what the journey has taught him about the subject matter. “I’ve found out there’s not just one version of Bigfoot,” he said. “There’s so many versions around the world, and with that there’s different cultures or heritages connected to that.” His comments suggest the project has grown well beyond simple monster movies into something with broader cultural dimensions.
Next Stop: Japan
Scott is already planning his next production. He confirmed he will travel to Japan in November to film his next Bigfoot movie. The trip reflects his ongoing interest in exploring how different cultures around the world interpret and tell stories about Bigfoot-like creatures.
His work at Splatter Films 69 continues to push the boundaries of a niche genre. Meanwhile, the Guinness recognition adds a new level of legitimacy to his unconventional body of work. For Scott, the record is clearly not a finishing line. Instead, it appears to be another step in an expanding creative mission.
The award at Winnipeg Horror Con drew attention to a filmmaker who has quietly built a remarkable catalogue. His record-breaking achievement in Bigfoot filmmaking now stands as an official part of global pop culture history.
