The premise

Lost Tapes is an American television horror series that aired on Animal Planet. Produced by Go Go Luckey Entertainment, the program presents found footage depicting traumatic encounters with cryptozoological creatures, including the Chupacabra and Bigfoot, and even supernatural creatures such as the Werewolf and Vampire, and extraterrestrials: Alien and Reptilian. The pilot aired on Animal Planet October 30, 2008 for Halloween, but the series officially premiered on January 6, 2009. Animal Planet commissioned a second season, which premiered on September 29, 2009. Season 3 premiered on September 28, 2010, with episodes featuring zombies and the Kraken. The show also used to air on Planet Green.

Horror Vault's take

Lost Tapes presents itself as a collection of recovered footage capturing real people's harrowing run-ins with legendary cryptids, supernatural beings, and extraterrestrial entities. Each self-contained episode drops ordinary individuals into extraordinary encounters with creatures drawn from folklore, urban legend, and conspiracy theory. The docufiction format blurs the line between creature-feature entertainment and mockumentary unease, keeping viewers guessing about what lurks just off-camera. From swamp-dwelling cryptids to bloodsucking creatures of the night, the series works through an impressive roster of monsters across its three seasons.
