<i>The Legend of Boggy Creek</i> 1972 film by Charles B. Pierce

The Legend of Boggy Creek is a 1972 horror docudrama about the "Fouke Monster", a Bigfoot-type creature that reportedly has been seen in, and around Fouke, Arkansas since the 1940s. The film mixes staged interviews with some local residents who claim to have encountered the creature, along with reenactments of encounters. Charles B. Pierce, an advertising salesman from Texarkana on the Arkansas/Texas state line, convinced a local businessman to invest over $100,000 from his trucking company, Ledwell & Son. Pierce borrowed an old 35mm movie camera, and hired locals to help make the 87-minute film. 'The Legend of Boggy Creek' has generated approximately $20 million in box office revenue. In 2018, Pierce's daughter, Pamula Pierce Barcelou, acquired copyright, and has fully-restored and remastered (4K) the film, and premiered, once again, at the original location, The Perot Theatre, Texarkana, TX, June 2019, in celebration of Charles B. Pierce Day. This movie classic is now authorized for the first time since 1975. The first official home release in history was released January 2020, and is available in a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Package, and also Amazon VOD, Google Plus, iTunes, Microsoft, and YouTube Movies. The George Eastman Museum and Audio Mechanics have resurrected the original aspects of the film, including the wide-angle Techniscope film format, brilliant Technicolor, and pioneering soundtrack, replacing decades of poor "pan & scan" bootleg copies.

In Arkansas folklore, the Fouke Monster is said to have been seen in Fouke in Miller County, Arkansas, during the early 1970s. The creature was accused of attacking a local family. Initial sightings of the creature were concentrated in the Jonesville/Boggy Creek area, where it was blamed for the destruction of local livestock. Later, sightings were reported several hundred miles to the north and the east of Fouke. The monster may initially have been created when misidentified bears were seen and some of the purported tracks may have been forged.
