Shadyville is plagued by sightings of a hairy creature known as the "House Squatch". Locals are panicked and the area's powerful real estate firm is pressuring the local sheriff to stop the creature, who has taken up residence in one of their homes for sale. It's a battle of wits and wackiness as the town mobilizes to drive the creature back to the forest.

Gosh, these squatches are always so angry. I was kind of hoping that he would come out of the woods telling jokes. Perhaps, "You're probably all surprised to see me...not blurry." Comedy gold! So what can I really say here. Blood, gore, hair, guns, and...well...more blood. Lots of violence. Did I forget to mention that? It holds true to the silly SyFy channel exclusives that we've seen over the years, and is still very enjoyable. I do think at some point that someone needs to write a series of books that flips some of these horror tropes upside down. For instance, vampires and werewolves living in harmony, running a high end fashion brand? A comedic bigfoot? Lawn gnomes that actually help cultivate lawns, shrubs, and trees for fun? Not biting people's ankles and running amuck. Or wait, even better...zombies that are eager to gobble up educational resources, as to develop their own brains?
This way, they wouldn't need to eat other people's brains. Come on, folks, lots of possibilities here. But Brian Berry crafted something really fun and vintage here, which always gets the Topsider approval. Bravo!

“Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Berry, you're the best”
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER – Carly Simon
I actually have no idea what to say in this review that will make it unique and original.
When it comes to novelizations of B-movie horror, Brian G. Berry stands head and shoulders above the rest. Much like a Squatch. Except that he shaved this morning so nobody will mistake him for a House Squatch.
Or will they…?
As with the other novelizations he seems to be pumping out like a bodybuilder on steroids, he flexes his visual vernacular with visionic vitality and virtue, without using any big words.
This book is exactly what you think it is – meant to entertain more than challenge, if you are willing to take it for what it is, and you enjoy B-movies, this should entertain you to no end.
5 Stars for entertainment value.

House Squatch is Brian G Berrys third novelization of SRS Cinema movies and is alot of fun.
It's as the title suggests a big hairy killer sasquatch who happens to live in a house 🤣. The woods are being developed by a greedy real estate developer Baxter who cares for nothing but money and holds a grudge against the local sheriff. With his habitat being destroyed our Squatch moves into town and is hungry. It's up to the sheriff to stop the beast before the whole towns lives are lost to the beasts rage.
I love Brian's humor he injects into his books. There is a certain scene where two women are in a house and one needs to go to the toilet letting out rancid farts. The way this is described is actually laugh out loud funny. I re read these few pages a couple of times giggling to myself.
It has some great scenes of carnage and gore with our squatch even using a severed arm to beat a poor victim to death and some gnarly descriptions of meat being eaten stripped from the bones of our residents.
I loved the nod to House Shark as well another SRS movie and novelization done by the author.
Loved it.

It's not as funny as I would have liked. More goofy dumb then goofy funny. Gore was good but that's about all going for it. Short and to the point.
