Trailer for ‘Boggy Creek: The Series’

The iconic found footage film, “The Legend of Boggy Creek,” first introduced audiences to the mysterious “Fouke Monster” back in 1972. Celebrating its 50th anniversary just last year, the film left an indelible mark on the horror genre. Now, BayView Entertainment is revisiting the legendary backwoods of Boggy Creek with the all-new “Boggy Creek: The Series.”

Retromedia Entertainment, in collaboration with BayView Entertainment, has launched “Boggy Creek: The Series” on DVD (Region FREE) in the USA. The trailer for the series is available for viewing.

The series, created by Henrique Couto and executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Fred Olen Ray, invites viewers to delve into the mysterious happenings in the spooky swamps of Boggy Creek, Arkansas. Join the American Yeti Project as they investigate peculiar events and encounter unique denizens, including the witch of Boggy Creek (played by Scream Queen Brinke Stevens), the Scarecrow of Boggy Creek, and the legendary Bigfoot monster itself. The narration is provided by Eric Roberts.

McKenzie Phillips is also featured in “Boggy Creek: The Series.”

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of “The Legend of Boggy Creek,” Luiz H.C. reflected on its influence, stating, “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.”
