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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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! 🍺
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."
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!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
In all my lifetime, no rider - no child, no adult - ever asked, "Are we there yet?" The question would always be, "How much longer until we get there?" Even a child knows if they were there, the driver would have said, "Here we are!" and wouldn’t still be in the car looking at the map.
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 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" 😁
"We're going camping, and you're gonna watch."

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!
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.
I love how this entire movie is basically "bag on Tim."
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.
"Ted Nugent, Slash, Rob Zombie ?" Gets me every time.
"No more corn liquor on my Total for breakfast." 🤣🤣
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.

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

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?!?
😅😅😅
"How much gas we got?"
"We have 'E' gallons." 🤣🤣🤣
This and Squirm are my all time favoritetime MST3k episodes. I’m so happy this is back on RUclips (even tho I own the dvd, I’m just lazy)
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.

Agreed- this is why me of my favorites. How can you top a Bigfoot themed MST3K
Boggle Creeks my mind

lol nice Any other bits that cracked her up?
@@Igarappappa Oh yeah the jeez do a push up, kid. lol
"Thor has really hit the skids"
Amazing prediction of Avengers: Endgame.
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!
I’ve probably seen this one at least 45 times. One of the absolute best imo.
Finally, I can tend to my fires.
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.

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.
He’s a rather successful screenwriter, too. And Jimmy Clem had a fascinating life and was actually pretty talented. He absolutely stole this movie.
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

Cheers! 🍺
Those farm roofs are too sloped for secret service agents!
😂😂😂
A soft-top Jeep, a soft sided pop-up camper, yeah, they should be fine.😉
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...
Their camper is like the TARDIS.
One of my favorites of all time. I'll always have the Creature of Boggy Creek in my heart.
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. 😅
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."_*
This was the first episode of mst3k I ever saw. Nice to have an official upload
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!
Easily one of my Top 5! I love this one so, so much. 😂😂😂
This is truly an all time classic, one of my top 20 eps for sure. “Why does my head hurt?”
"Where's the Lawgiver?" 😂😂😂
holy hell they were on for this one. well done
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.
This is a riff I always forget about, but love it once I remember
Tom Servo dressed as a Spanish courtesan?!?! I'd pay good money to see that! Ole!!!
Yes, these river bottoms
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
We’re looking for the Boggy Creek creature.
I married her!
😂😂😂😂 😅
This guy wrote the line "Go ahead, make my day"...crazy
He also wrote and directed The Town that Dreaded Sundown
Suddenly I was attacked by a muppet.
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.
MST3K is "Cream of Wheat" for the SOUL!
41:10 It’s always nice when the performers get to use their real-life skills in the show. 🎸
The wild man in the second act made this movie
this show is so lit, 80s rewind, love you guys
It's five, give me terrible stories about Bigfoot in arkansas
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!

My absolute favorite one. RUclips is the only place I can find it too. I tried all the movie channels.
“He’s a part of nature living in harmony in one of America’s last great wildernesses!”
Mike: Crenshaw?….
Jimmy Clem, who played Crenshaw, was legitimately good in this movie.
I wish I could hear a longer version of Brain guy's song.
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.
This is the greatest movie of all time I've seen this week in the last hour.
Boggy Creek II : Electric Boogaloo.
This is my # 1 favorite episode. Absolute masterpiece. 1:02:30 😂
"How will they dress for the trip?" is a Crow line that lives rent-free in my head.
In all my lifetime, no rider - no child, no adult - ever asked, "Are we there yet?" The question would always be, "How much longer until we get there?" Even a child knows if they were there, the driver would have said, "Here we are!" and wouldn’t still be in the car looking at the map.
😂😅hilarious classic good riffing great host segments
YEEESSS! Glad to see this one back on YT🎉
This is a national treasure! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Threaten him with your physique, Tim!
Excellent episode!!!
I didn’t know there was a sequel 😂
My favorite

I wonder if I can show my coworkers the outhouse scene.
I really want that CJ-7
I just watched all 4, part 1
part 2,
the remake
and another that seemed like a documentary.
Tanya. Still the hottest woman ever on MST3K
The girl from "Diabolik" was pretty easy on the eyes. So was the one from "Final Justice".
For me, it's always been Cupcake from Riding with Death.
Is this the prequel to "Suburban Sasquatch"? 🤔😇😁 Also despite the title, this is the THIRD movie of this franchise 🤣
Why did they not name it the **Boggy Creature?!**
Or Bigfoot. Because it's just Bigfoot anyway.
19:46 I will never understand the no shirt thing.
Ted Nugent? Slash? Rob Zombie?
... Cher? Yeah Cher 😂
Who hasn't had a blowout on a lonely stretch of road? Why, just last week on the way home from Taco Bell...
Top 3 episdoes for me. I love how serious it takes itself. lol
Fun episode 😂
What's this relaxing sound in the background?. A motor?.
I may have watched too many mystery theatres , but this is pretty good :) . except for Barney Fife lol ( the kid with no shirt )
Drivin' down the road, lookin' for a Waffle House, drinkin' lots of Wild Turkey...

From 8:20 the music is very "zelda- twilight princess"
I'm sorry I even brought it up!
34:10 Download Pong? What's this "download" of which you speak?
FAM!!
I could have sworn MST3K or Rifftrax did the first movie, Legend of Boggy Creek. I can't find mention of it anywhere. Am I wrong about that?
Do they really expect us to believe that Arkansas once had a football team?
Hey legend! How’s the continuing?
We're going camping and you're going to watch.
