I'm not sure if this should be catagorized as "fiction". I'm watching this right now on the computer even as I type. I have not seen it for 30 years, since I was a kid, sitting in a crowded, humid, movie theater.

It's actually quite entertaining! The cinematography is beautiful, even if the copy of the film this DVD was made from was in less than pristine condition.

The music is corny ("Hey, Travis Crabtree... it's the right life for me...") but it's typical of this type of film from this time period.

I especially like the documentary feel of the film. I had forgotten about that. It's a much about the lifestyle of those living in the Arkansas bottomlands as it is about the Foulk Monster.

Great Movie!...its based on a true story...

I also got Boggy Creek II, but I have not watched it yet. I heard it's not as good, but it looks like the filmmakers spent more money to make it.

I've watched clips of Boggy Creek II through Google. I found the running commentary really annoying with those stupid little cartoon characters. I hope the actual video isn't the same. That was even more annoying than Beavis and Butthead with their little obnoxious laughs.. :icon_bang:

I think that was something added to the original from a cable tv show where they take old sci-fi and monster movies and spoof them with their smartass commentary.

I agree, it is quite juvenile and wearing. I teach teenagers for a living, and I get quite enough of that all day long.

JSYK,

I watched 'Boggy Creek II' last night with a friend. We agreed it was entertaining, but nothing like the first one.

The first movie is made like a documentary, this second one is a horror flick, complete with tawny young women exposing themselves to the terrors of the creature.

I think that was the part we liked best.

I can't belive you guys are dissing one of the greatest tv shows ever, Mystery Science Theater 3000

When you see a films been MST3Ked, you know it's been improved.

u know there is 3 movies to boggy creek......

I didn't even know there was a Boggy Creek II. The first one was pretty fun. ( I admit I fast forward the drawn out music sometimes.) I really like the documentary style, and a lot of the people in the film are telling their own stories. They're so real and down to earth that they make the whole thing very believable. The dramatized parts are pretty creepy, but I wonder if the Faulk Monster was (or is) really violent like he (or she) is portrayed.

hey everyone good morning last month issue of the fortean times there was a very interesting new article about boggy creek & smokey crabtree very well done as well, dumb of me not to pick up a copy of the magazine at my local borders books store. oh well maybe smokey crabtree has copies of that issue. thanks bill green this is fortean times website http://www.forteantimes.com please keep me & everyone here definetly posted ok

Yall repeat after me..... F-O-U-K-E the ou is prounced like ouch. LOL

hey teresa lmaoo i like your above post. thanks bill

That would explain why I keep getting thrown out of places whenever I talk about the Fouke Monster in family restaurants

No "L"? Opps...

Yeah, there are three movies...Boggy Creek, Boggy Creek II, and Return to Boggy Creek (with Maryanne from Gilligan Island and Dana from Different Stokes). The best is the first movie...Travis Crabtree...

hey paul can you please scan that new boggy creek article from the fortean times in this great thread . thanks again . bill

wow paul realy lmao interesting i guess, hey kathy i hope they come out with new boggy creek movie even greater than first 3 boggy creek movies. thanks bill

question for everyone why was the fouke sasquatch ie monster so aggressive toward people, was it sick, was there something very wrong with the creature in natural way. i would like to see all your nice honest opinions about this situation. thanks bill . and do new rumers of the fouke monster still persisit to this very day. wheather you believe or not its still getting alot publisty.

There's a Monty Python skit lurking in your quote!

Who knows? Maybe he was just lonely, and got frustrated every time he tried to come closer to people. That would be my guess.

You might want to read the novel Grendel, by John Gardner.

Or maybe he didn't exist, and a story of a rampaging, terrifying monster sells better than a placid, reclusive one?

hey paul & robert & texas bigfoot lol those are great return answers about the fouke monster. other folks here please your honest opinions comeing ok. thanks bill

i wonder if there will ever be another movie like legend of boggy creek or even better movie to it . thanks bill

Wouldn't it be great if someone like Steven Spielberg would do a new sasquatch movie!

I saw it too when I was a kid. I tried watching it through google and those pesky cartoon characters ruined my viewing enjoyment. They are the equivelent of Ed the Sock on much music in Canada here and just as annoying. That's my humble opinion. I'd like to get my hands on the real video and sit down to watch it.

I've never seen this movie, but it sounds like a great deal of fun. It is now on my Netflix queue.

the legend of boggy creek will always be my faverite movie indeed. i hope hollywood makes a better newer boggy creek movie. i like its sequels too. good evening bill

Legend Of Boggy Creek is one of my all time favs too.Watching it as a kid was cool.Watching it now is like a time machine back to a time when everyone in town knew each other,you didnt have to lock your doors,,and life was just relaxed.I would love to move to a little quiet town like Fouke Ark.,the creature would be an added bonus

hey bigfootmorf good morning thats a wonderful above reply. i would like to visit boggy creek & town of fouke in near future soon.. thanks bill

BILLGREEn,thanks.
