The Legend of the Pope Lick Monster (1989)
"A monster, a hideous half-man, half-sheep mutation whose hypnotic powers are so intense that he lures you out onto the tracks and into his eyes...." Such are the stories that have captured the imaginations of Louisville teenagers for three generations. Stories that have lured youths to the Pope Lick trestle in search of a dare, a thrill, a place to drink, an opportunity to scare a date or a friend. A legend kept alive only by word of mouth - confirmed by the excitable and credulous minds of adolescents and emphasized by the ominous presence of 100-foot railroad trestle. One crisp, October evening finds Clancy, Ben and Katie on a quest - for excitement, for beer, for danger and a rendezvous with...the Sheepman!
