The Mothman Legacy is the story of one of the most frightening American urban myths, the legend of The Mothman, a red-eyed creature seen by some as a harbinger of doom in 1960s rural West Virginia, where sightings of the winged demonic beast were first documented near an old munitions dump known by locals as TNT.

Many believe the Mothman to be a 1960’s phenomenon, an omen only appearing before tragedy, and disappearing after a flap of sightings and the subsequent Silver Bridge collapse in 1967. But what if there’s more? What if the origins of this omen trace back much further and go much deeper than anyone realized? And what if…the sightings never ended?

A case study on the roots of a modern myth the film features interviews with witnesses of the Mothman, and commentary from experts, authors and locals, THE MOTHMAN LEGACY gives a fresh take on the terrifying legend of The Mothman creature and the encounters that plagued Point Pleasant, Va.

The film which was originally set to premiere in theaters on September 18, 2020 at The Mothman Festival but was cancelled this year due to COVID-19, will now be released exclusively on digital streaming platforms on October 20, 2020 from 1091 Pictures.

Pssst, there will be a review –watch this space.
