The legend kind of became a rite of passage for local teenagers who would then venture out to areas like Fletchertown Road in search of this creature.

The Goatman even made its way into popular culture, being referenced in the 1973 film American Graffiti and inspiring various local legends and folklore.
AshleyHOST
From there, several origin stories from the goat man kind of emerged.
AshleyHOST
There was the mad scientist theory, which is a popular narrative that suggests that a scientist at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center named Dr. Stephen Fletcher conducted a failed experiment to combine human and goat DNA, resulting in the creation of the goat man.

Yeah.

Pablo StarrGUEST
If you'd had a couple of scripts under your belt, you pitch this.
Pablo StarrGUEST

I've seen, probably seen all of them on their original release in some way, shape or form where I would have rented them on VHS and half watched them and they didn't make a lasting impression.
