Found footage classic The Legend of Boggy Creek introduced us to the “Fouke Monster” way back in 1972 – the film celebrated its 50th anniversary just last year – and now BayView Entertainment is taking us back to Boggy Creek with the brand new “Boggy Creek: The Series.”
Retromedia Entertainment through BayView Entertainment have released Boggy Creek: The Series on DVD (Region FREE) in the USA, and you can watch the trailer below.
“Head to the legendary backwoods of Boggy Creek, Arkansas in the complete First Season of Boggy Creek: The Series, from Henrique Couto and Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer, Fred Olen Ray. Join the American Yeti Project as they investigate the strange events surround the spooky swamp and its unique denizens.
“You’ll encounter the witch of Boggy Creek (Scream Queen Brinke Stevens), the Scarecrow of Boggy Creek, and the fabled Bigfoot monster itself. Narrated by Eric Roberts.”
McKenzie Phillips also stars in Boggy Creek: The Series.
Luiz H.C. celebrated 50 years of The Legend of Boggy Creek here on Bloody Disgusting just last month, writing: “I’d argue that one of the most influential of these grandaddies of Found Footage is the fifty-year-old B-movie classic, The Legend of Boggy Creek.”
Luiz’s article continued, “Inspired by the popularity of the Patterson-Gimlin film, which supposedly showed a real-life sasquatch trekking through Californian woods, then-salesman Charles B. Pierce decided to capitalize on the cryptid trend by loaning $100,000 from a trucking company and producing a monster movie unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. Borrowing from local stories about the “Fouke Monster,” a bigfoot-like creature that has allegedly roamed the Arkansas countryside since the 1850s, Pierce figured that the most cost-effective way to tell this story would be to sell it as a serious portrayal of real events.”
