Biography

Lyle Blackburn

Mini bio

  • Lyle Blackburn is a native Texan known for his work in writing, music, film, and cryptid research. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including "The Beast of Boggy Creek" and "Lizard Man," whose subject matter reflects his life-long fascination with legends and sighting reports of unknown creatures. Lyle is also the founder of the rock band, Ghoultown, columnist for the horror magazine, Rue Morgue, and narrator/producer of documentary films including "The Mothman of Point Pleasant" and "Boggy Creek Monster," in which he also appears on screen.

    Lyle is a frequent guest on radio programs such as Coast To Coast AM, and has been featured on numerous television shows airing on Discovery, Animal Planet, Destination America, A&E, Science, and CBS. In his work with Monsters and Mysteries in America, he served as both consulting producer and special episode host.

    As a musician, Lyle has achieved similar success. His band Ghoultown has released eight albums, which have not only earned a loyal worldwide following, but found their way into movies, video games, and numerous live venues across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Highlights include an invitation to write a theme song for iconic horror maven, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. The song's music video - featuring Elvira herself - was aired on her nationally syndicated show, Movie Macabre.
