I used to watch this movie many times on Saturday afternoons in New York City in the late 1970s when I was just a kid (I was born in 1969). Imagine, out of one of those many times I'm in a friends apartment on the 5th floor. Its broad daylight in big, crowded New York City. I'm watching this movie on my friends tv, the creature screams and I race out of the living room in fright. (I've long since grown out of this, but still LOBC does have a nice creepy feel to it)
The real life Smokey Crabtree was not amused by this film or its creator, Charles Pierce. In 2001 Smokey published a book titled Smokey and the Fouke Monster. Its basically his auto-biography, the true stories regarding the creature, and the making of the movie Legend of Boggy Creek. Smokey has written two other books in addition to that one: Too Close to the Mirror, and The Man Behind the Legend.
