comment |
The Legend of Boggy Creek is a horror film from the year 1972.It centers around a cryptid called The Fouke Monster, a sasquatch-like creaturenote probably based on the Skunk Ape which prowls in the state of Arkansas. It is shot in a documentary style which varies between with interviews of locals and dramatized encounters with the Monster.The film portrays the sightings of the Monster escalating slowly, starting with random caught glimpses of it in the woods and then ending with an attack against a house shared by two families.It was followed by two sequels: Return To Boggy Creek in 1977 and Boggy Creek 2: And the Legend Continues in 1985. |

comment |
Hysterical Woman: Fouke Monster's appearance causes three women to go into hysterics when it grabs for them through an open window. To be fair, the men didn't do much better. |

comment |
Police Are Useless: At the end, when the two young couples in the Ford house call the cops, the police tell them not to worry, there's no monster around, it's just a mountain lion trying to break in and eat them! Even one of the characters says, 'This is supposed to make us feel safe'? On the other hand, the sheriff does leave a pair of flashlights and shotguns behind so they can protect themselves. |

Hell Is That Noise: Any of the Fouke Monster's calls are eerie to this day. Many were reused in later bigfoot movies such as "Creature of Black Lake". |

Swamp Monster: The Fouke Monster is a a Bigfoot that roamed around a swampy area. Supposedly inspired by real-life sightings of this cryptid, the film had him terrorizing rural residents. It was successful enough to beget a sequel. |
