The Legend of Boggy Creek is a 1972 docudrama about a sasquatch-type creature that terrorized the small town of Fouke, Arkansas, for several years, as told by Smokey Crabtree.
Many of the residents who claimed to have experienced these events played themselves in the movie. The film had a big premiere in Fouke and went on to become a minor drive-in hit, grossing over $20 million domestically and appearing repeatedly on many late-night horror TV slots throughout the rest of the 70s.
The film spawned two sequels - The Return to Boggy Creek (1977) and Boggy Creek II (1985) (aka The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II).
