One day at work, I overheard this guy with a thick southern accent mention the boggy creek monster, I couldn't help but giggle thinking about this movie.
Worth noting the first movie is a bit more restrained, even if it is still a flick based upon recreations of regional bigfoot encounters. For one thing, the director didn't self-insert himself as the main character with a girlfriend in short-shorts, or force a plot aside from loosely adapting the reports.
As a southenor who is old enough to remember when this movie came out, I can attest that this is EXACTLY what life was like below the Mason Dixie line back then. Professors would routinely take a shirtless boy, a young, nubile student- along with her unknown, possibly minor friend -deep in the swamp to look for legendary, supernatural beings. Yep, this is a bone fide documentary.
Funny story: This was the episode I introduced MST3K to a friend a few years back. Mike's impressions of the narrator were so good, that my friend was genuinely confused as to who was talking/saying what. It wasn't until Mike said: "We're going camping and you're gonna watch," that she burst out "What the Hell is going on in this movie!?!? Who said that???" We had a good laugh about it and she is now a fan of the show.
My grandparents owned land from the 70s - about a decade ago on the Sabine River on the Texas side and I spent many a summers there during the late 80s and early 90s and I can honestly say this movie just reminds me of my childhood. We would tell Bigfoot stories, dress in our cutoff shorts, eat bologna sandwiches and tend to our fires.
The first Legend of Boggy Creek was a genuinely good, creepy and atmospheric documentary about the Fouke Monster and despite being a next to no budget indie movie was a huge hit and was cited as a major influence on The Blair Witch Project. Director of both films, Charles B. Pierce (who plays bearded professor), moved onto making bigger movies (like the cult classic horror The Town That Dreaded Sundown) and even co-wrote the fourth Dirty Harry movie, Sudden Impact (he wrote the iconic "Go Ahead, Make My Day" line) With this he attempted to return to his roots and...it didn't work. He deeply regretted making this movie and disowned it. Also, this is actually the third entry in the series, the first sequel Return to Boggy Creek starring Dawn Wells and Dana Plato had no involvement from Pierce.
Since I am from Texarkana, you can imagine how much I enjoy this episode. "The Fouke Monster," as they call him back home, was well known long before these movies came out. I remember some of his attacks making the front page of the Texarkana Gazette.
My father’s family lived in Texarkana and my aunt firmly believed the Fouke monster exists, but she didn’t mention it until ai mentioned the movie. She mentioned the movie was fairly successful with many locals doing pro bono. I recognize some of the locations which gives the movie a special place in my mind.
This has always been my #1 favorite episode, by FAR. Ive probably watched it all the way through, 25 times, and it never gets old. I know the funniest lines by heart, and still laugh at them just as much as i did, seeing it for the first time. Ive googled lists of people's favorite MST3K episodes, and this one is never listed. Just boggles the mind, how this one gets looked over!
The first time I watched this, I had borrowed the original Rhino box set and was cramming for a math final at like four am. I put this on, not knowing what to expect and I could not stop laughing. Bless this show!
Charles B. Pierce was also a prolific screenwriter, and worked on the Dirty Harry film "Sudden Impact." He claims to have written the famous line "Go ahead, make my day."
My wife and I watched this together when it first broadcast and she howled with laughter at the Bots singing Wings of a Dove because it brought back memories of being held hostage in the back seat of long car rides with our family filled with cigarette smoke, no a\c, and AM radio blaring latest country hits of the 1960s while living in the 1970s AND the driver possibly drinking beer while driving
Drinking beer while driving was considered the norm until the mid-80s, when MAD came along. As a matter of fact, beer drinking while driving was mandatory in Texas; not doing so was a criminal offense. Cheers! 🍺
Damn what a different world, drinking a beer while driving in Texas rn is a huge NO, you'll go away for 10 years if you get caught with multiple DUIs down here
Love this one. My absolute favorite riff ever. Charles B. Pierce actually did make a decent horror film in "The Town that Dreaded Sundown," which he also acted in. It doesn't hold up well for modern audiences but it is a good film overall. Anyway, Boggy Creek II will always have a place in my heart because of this episode of MST3K. Thank you for uploading.
Town That Dreaded Sundown was really awesome. Friday the 13th part 2 totally ripped off the mask. I think the director wanted to make people feel about trombones what Psycho did for showers.
This my favorite episode and I hope you all have a wonderful time watching it! Close second favorite is the one that's like a star wars movie but the captain looks like Santa Claus.
One of my all-time favorite episodes. Also realized a few years ago, it takes place not TOO far from where I live in Texas, to the point where one of my local TV stations did a feature on the Boggy Creek monster years ago.
All right! For your Summer enjoyment, another classic MST3K! And it's the sequel to THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK, which I actually saw in a real theater when it played in 1972! WOW! What memories! The only way I've seen BOGGY CREEK 2 has been on TV in 1999 on the Sci-Fi Channel. Glad I didn't pay to see it in a theater, cuz it's just as bad as the original! Go get 'em, Mike and Cambot and Gypsy and Tom and Crooooooow! We love you!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
11:05 They used the same library music for the "Is Joan "The Freak" Fergusson a Jack The Ripper style serial killer" storyliine in late 70s/early 80s Australian late night female incarceration soap drama Prisoner Cell Block H. This is funny if you are a Brit of a certain age... Or an Australian, I suppose.
I think Bill Corbett (Crow) said it best "It's the kind of movie that seems to hate you; to wish you active harm; to kick sand in your eyes and make you cry. And for me, this was personified by Mr. Charles B. Pierce, who is apparently responsible for every single aspect, every nano-second of this cruel and unusual bit of celluloid. He chose to write and play a grim, hostile, condescending, know-it-all of a man, a character who is proven superior to everyone else in the story again and again, who drills his lousy stinking voice-over narrative into our heads every freaking minute of this film, and who then has the temerity to wrap his movie up suggesting his sour Nazi of a character is really an ecological servant of God" 😆
"We're going camping, and you're gonna watch."
*NOOOOOOOO !!!*

Were they referring to this movie or being for real?
“Did you marry her?”
😮 He seen the creature????

I have this on dvd and ive easily watched this episode 100 times. This and Final Sacrfice are my GOATS!
I wonder if there is any beer on the sun . . .
Don't let me down baby!
I won't, Rowsdower!
Let's see, my favorites are Horror at Party Beach, Prince of Space and Terror from the Year 5000.
Sacrificing your goats?!?!? Please no! This is the first documented example of the downfall of the BSA. Sad :(
I like this one, but my fave episodes will always be "Manos" and "Pumaman" 😁
I love how this entire movie is basically "bag on Tim."

lol nice Any other bits that cracked her up?
@@Igarappappa Oh yeah the jeez do a push up, kid. lol
"I smell you! You're wearing Giorgio!"
@ lol Yeah, my friend sounds a bit like the new Crow voice and sometimes it throws me off when we watch episodes online together.
16:00 "Do you have ammo?"
"Sir, this is the South. Of course, we have ammo."
Dumbest question I've ever heard. I'm loving this!
“There’s a skid mark on the ceiling!” That line gets me every time. I know she didn’t do much acting, but the girl playing Tanya is fine as hell.
That line legit never gets old.
"Thor has really hit the skids"
Amazing prediction of Avengers: Endgame.
"How much gas we got?"
"We have 'E' gallons." 🤣🤣🤣
"Someone had a HUGE Toblerone!"

Thank you for this trivia. I also enjoyed The Town that Dreaded Sundown but I never knew he worked on bigger Hollywood films.
The Town that Dreaded Sundown is solid movie. That and the first Boggy Creek movies are must for anyone interested in 70s low budget films.
Yes, Return to Boggy Creek kind of fell apart after Dana Plato robbed the creature at gunpoint.
Dana freakin Plato?!?
😅😅😅
This and Squirm are my all time favorite MST3k episodes. I’m so happy this is back on UA-cam (even tho I own the dvd, I’m just lazy)
Since I am from Texarkana, you can imagine how much I enjoy this episode. "The Fouke Monster," as they call him back home, was well known long before these movies came out. I remember some of his attacks making the front page of the Texarkana Gazette.
My Grandmother told of hearing the creature screaming in the woods when she was a youth.
Grandmother was not known for frivolous stories.
My father’s family lived in Texarkana and my aunt firmly believed the Fouke monster exists, but she didn’t mention it until ai mentioned the movie. She mentioned the movie was fairly successful with many locals doing pro bono. I recognize some of the locations which gives the movie a special place in my mind.
What's the story about that serial killer in Texarkana ?
@@GuyMorris-n4dthat's the Town that Dreaded Sundown. the murderer was known as the Phantom Killer in real life and has never been identified
Crenshaw just steals the movie when he shows up.
Interesting. The similarities between this film and "Apocalypse Now" are spooky. Crenshaw is Col. Kurtz.
"Hello.. *_TIM."_*

Agreed- this is one of my favorites. How can you top a Bigfoot themed MST3K
Boggle Creeks my mind
Even the crickets add atmosphere. Good sound design!
This one might be my fav MST3K of all time!
Same
Me too.
"Crenshaw, you fascinating man."
Absolutely! I put it right up there with Devil Fish.
Finally, I can tend to my fires.
"Ted Nugent, Slash, Rob Zombie ?" Gets me every time.
The first time I watched this, I had borrowed the original Rhino box set and was cramming for a math final at like four am. I put this on, not knowing what to expect and I could not stop laughing. Bless this show!
This is one of the best background-noise eps, and this is a great version with ig all cleaned up. Thanks!
The "hero" of the movie is a dead ringer for my High School shop teacher, and southern Missouri isn't that far away from Arkansas, so...
"No more corn liquor on my Total for breakfast." 🤣🤣
Suddenly I was attacked by a muppet.
Charles B. Pierce was also a prolific screenwriter, and worked on the Dirty Harry film "Sudden Impact." He claims to have written the famous line "Go ahead, make my day."
He did!
Those farm roofs are too sloped for secret service agents!

Their camper is like the TARDIS.
I know! I love it and want one!
I’ve probably seen this one at least 45 times. One of the absolute best imo.

@ this was during the late 1960s - early 70s for good or bad it definitely was a different time
I have 3 must MST3K must watch. This one, Final Sacrifice, and Space Mutiny. With a sprinkle of Prince of Space for flavor!
And for dessert, time chasers
"Just consider me a Shebelo." Classic.

He’s a rather successful screenwriter, too. And Jimmy Clem had a fascinating life and was actually pretty talented. He absolutely stole this movie.
MST3K is "Cream of Wheat" for the SOUL!
"How will they dress for the trip?" is a Crow line that lives rent-free in my head.
One of my favorites of all time. I'll always have the Creature of Boggy Creek in my heart.
This my favorite episode and I hope you all have a wonderful time watching it! Close second favorite is the one that's like a star wars movie but the captain looks like Santa Claus.
😂😂😂 Space Mutiny.
Space mutiny is probably my number one, or the top of my number five at least. I accused my parents is probably my number one
"Big Mclargehuge"
We’re looking for the Boggy Creek creature.
I married her!
😂😂😂😂 😅
A soft-top Jeep, a soft sided pop-up camper, yeah, they should be fine.😉
"rain? whats that?"
This guy wrote the line "Go ahead, make my day"...crazy
He also wrote and directed The Town that Dreaded Sundown
This is truly an all time classic, one of my top 20 eps for sure. “Why does my head hurt?”
Easily one of my Top 5! I love this one so, so much. 😂😂😂
Otis Tucker never regained consciousness. He was dead, so it makes sense. lol
I randomly use "He was dead, so it makes sense" way too often for polite society. 😅
This was the first episode of mst3k I ever saw. Nice to have an official upload
Boggy Creek II : Electric Boogaloo.
It's five, give me terrible stories about Bigfoot in arkansas
this show is so lit, 80s rewind, love you guys
41:10 It’s always nice when the performers get to use their real-life skills in the show. 🎸
Tom Servo dressed as a Spanish courtesan?!?! I'd pay good money to see that! Ole!!!
im pretty sure thats how he dresses in the episode where pearl throws a ball? i dont remember which movie that sketch is from though, sorry
One of my all-time favorite episodes. Also realized a few years ago, it takes place not TOO far from where I live in Texas, to the point where one of my local TV stations did a feature on the Boggy Creek monster years ago.

Jimmy Clem, who played Crenshaw, was legitimately good in this movie.
The wild man in the second act made this movie
31:11 "...which is why I had to tell it via flashback, on account of the fact that I didn't know."
holy hell they were on for this one. well done
The olden days couple only had an outhouse, but they got a good water-hose!
Excellent episode!!!
😂😅hilarious classic good riffing great host segments
I remember watching this one as it aired!! I'm from AR and lived there till about two years ago. Great ep! I miss Joel.
Threaten him with your physique, Tim!
This is a national treasure! Thank you! 🙏🏻
YEEESSS! Glad to see this one back on YT🎉
This is the greatest movie of all time I've seen this week in the last hour.
"Where's the Lawgiver?" 😂😂😂
I thought that college teacher had a 30/30 rifle but then we see him in the woods with a handgun.
It was the "ultra carbine" model 😂
Here and ready to really just relax with y'all!❤🎉

Is this the prequel to "Suburban Sasquatch"? 🤔😇😁 Also despite the title, this is the THIRD movie of this franchise 🤣
My absolute favorite one. UA-cam is the only place I can find it too. I tried all the movie channels.
TUBI TV has the most
We tied Tim in the Trees every night to keep him safe from the Creature.....Damn good idea.
Ted Nugent? Slash? Rob Zombie?
... Cher? Yeah Cher 😂
*"...lemme alone, you guys."*
I wish I could hear a longer version of Brain guy's song.
Remember the song from part one? O Travis Crabtree.
We're going camping and you're going to watch.
I just watched all 4, part 1
part 2,
the remake
and another that seemed like a documentary.
""Tim's too thin to hear" really caught me off guard lmao

I wonder if I can show my coworkers the outhouse scene.
Got damn them doctor’s jean shorts are just the gift that keeps on givin’
Who hasn't had a blowout on a lonely stretch of road? Why, just last week on the way home from Taco Bell...

I know each is entitled to their own opinion, but come on now, it's not THAT bad.
