October 24, 2023The Legend of Boggy Creek is back and just in time for Halloween.
After 50 years, the iconic nature docudrama highlighting spooky encounters with a Bigfoot-like creature in the swamps of Southeastern Arkansas is being released in a form befitting the film’s massive impact.
It has been remastered in beautiful 4K Ultra HD and now includes Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound for an immersive viewing experience.
“It’s like watching an entirely new movie,” said Pamula Pierce Barcelou, daughter of the film’s late director Charles B. Pierce.
“This format perfectly masks the original Techniscope wide-angle film and really makes it come to life in exciting ways.”
Barcelou has overseen the film’s restoration and said it has been a labor of love for the legions of fans of the film.
“I am constantly blown away with how much this film touched people’s lives and I’m excited for a new generation to be able to see it in such an exciting format,” she said.
One of those people impacted was author and television personality Lyle Blackburn.
Author of The Beast of Boggy Creek and Boggy Creek Casebook, he provides film commentary as one of the bonus features.
Another bonus is original film outtakes edited by Justin Beahm of Reverend Entertainment.
It also features a redesigned package with an o-ring slipcover that highlights legendary Artist Ralph McQuarrie of Star Wars fame’s original movie poster artwork.
The Legend of Boggy Creek when adjusted for inflation is the highest grossing nature film of all time. It has inspired generations of researchers to pursue wildlife mysteries around the world and serves as one of the few films that is genuinely scary but still has a level of innocence.
“I’m so proud this is a true G-rated family-friendly film. But that doesn’t take away the spooky factor. So many people have shared with me the moments that made them jump out of their seats when first they saw it,” Barcelou said.
