A Bigfoot-like beast terrorizes women in the woods as criminals and hippies clash in this wild blend of sex, horror, and 1970s sexploitation.

It's retro Drive-In mania at it's finest with this rare 1974 exploitation flick The Beast and the Vixens (also known as 'Desperately Seeking Yeti' and originally titled 'The Beauties and the Beast').

Shot on location in Big Bear Lake in California, 'The Beast and the Vixens' is a fun filled romp about Bigfoot-like beast terrorizes women in the woods as criminals and hippies clash in this wild blend of sex, horror, and 1970s sexploitation.

This adult Drive-In cult classic had two versions released including an X-rated one showing off countless nude women including Swedish bombshell Uschi Digard (remembered from Russ Meyer's CHERRY, HARRY & RACHEL)! The Beast/Yeti creature is straight out of B-MOVIELAND and bears a striking resemblance to the Gargantuas in the Japanese monster classic WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS.

With only a prior VHS release, the original negative for this picture had been long lost, however Dark Force Entertainment located the only surviving 35mm prints (with some extra reels from the shorter adult film version) and completed a new 2K scan of the original horror version with added soft core scenes for the first time ever Hi-Def Blu-ray release of THE BEAST AND THE VIXENS.
