Return to Boggy Creek | comment |
After writer/producer/star Charles B. Pierce created the independent 1972 horror film The Legend of Boggy Creek, a large swath of low budget and television film ventures focused on the Fouke Monster (and other hairy beasts) started coming out of the woodwork. Director Tom Moore decided to go back to Boggy Creek in a more literal fashion by creating a sequel to the original film five years after the fact. Instead of the documentary-like style of the first movie, which was ostensibly based on real-life events, this one told a purely fictitious story.This movie follows three children – older sister Evie-Jo, younger brother John-Paul, and their mute friend T-Fish – living in the Sulfur River bottoms of rural southern Arkansas. The kids make frequent kayaking and fishing excursions on the river, which the infamous Boggy Creek feeds into. Told to be wary of a monster living in the swamps and forests, known locally as "Big Bay-Ty" (and whom Evie-Jo and John-Paul's grandfather is adamant was responsible for the death of their father and his son), the kids end up encountering the legendary beast after a hurricane traps them in the swamps.Marketed as a family film, it received mostly mixed reviews. Dawn Wells and Dana Plato head the cast.Because Pierce was not involved in this film's production, he felt snubbed in a manner by its creation and went on to make a third film (titled the second film to ignore this one) in 1982 with the title The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek (a.k.a. Boggy Creek 2: And the Legend Continues). | |

Kid Detective: What Evie-Jo wants to be, as she's a huge fan of Nancy Drew. She has some skills but is more of an Amateur Sleuth. | |

Return to Boggy Creek / int_34c6ed8 | comment |
Don't Go in the Woods: Eerie swamps with an equally eerie monster lurking in them. Big Bay-Ty means no harm. But the hostile weather, getting lost, venomous snakes and other hostile wildlife are all dangers. | |

Return to Boggy Creek / int_6a301024 | comment |
Big-Hearted Bigfoot: Big Bay-Ty didn't mean anyone any harm. At worst he just scares people to make them go away and leave him alone. It's implied with his tackle-box and diary being found at the monster's lair, that Big Bay-Ty tried to help Evie-Jo and John-Paul's father after he was bitten by a snake but was too late. Later, he comes to the children's rescue during a hurricane to bravely tow the boat they're in out of the swamp and get them back home. | |
