Legend of Boggy Creek Returns!

By -

Good news bigfoot fans. The cult classic, "The Legend Of Boggy Creek" is returning! The movie is getting remastered for a future re-release!

One of thee daughters of Charles B. Pierce said she has gained the copyright to one the Arkansas filmmaker's most beloved films, The Legend of Boggy Creek, and is having the movie restored for a future re-release.

Shot in the early 1970s in a docudrama style, The Legend of Boggy Creek became a cult hit for Pierce, a longtime Texarkana resident who also directed The Town That Dreaded Sundown and other independent feature films.

Pamula Pierce Barcelou said Steve Ledwell of Ledwell & Son assigned her copyright of both Boggy Creek and another Pierce film, Bootleggers. Ledwell's father, L.W., helped finance The Legend of Boggy Creek, which found success as a low-budget, drive-in creature feature.

The Legend of Boggy Creek is being restored at the George Eastman Museum in New York and, for the first time since it was released, the movie will be appear as it did during its theatrical release, unlike bootleg versions out there now, Barcelou said.

"We have a clean, clear beautiful print that is being remastered," Barcelou said, noting various elements have been brought together to make the restored version, including negatives from a Technicolor office in Burbank, Calif.

Barecelou said she aims to release Boggy Creek on Blu-ray and also bring it back to movie theaters after working on the sound. She'd like to hold a "Charles B. Pierce-style" premiere at the Perot Theatre.

"We will also be re-releasing theatrically," said Barcelou, noting she's gone back and forth to Rochester, N.Y., where the restoration work is being completed, to see the project's progress. This will make the film look how it was meant to appear, she said, adding that Boggy Creek fans have long requested this type of clear version being made available.

    Unfortunately, there aren't enough drive-in theaters left for this movie to make the rounds again.

    This movie has the worst, cheap, skinny ass sasquatch to ever show up on film. The Patterson costume from a few years earlier was much better than this one. At least Patterson made sure that his squatch had some bulk to it. The Boggy Creek squatch looks malnourished and asinine, like he was approaching the cabin at night in order to get some desperately needed calories before keeling over.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from...

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
