It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to see an anticipated Kickstarter campaign reach its goal. And in no time at all…
The upcoming Boggy Creek Monster, which we just reported on a few hours ago, has already reached its goal and then some. There’s still loads to time to contribute and get your hands on some of the cool perks, so what the hell are you waiting for?
Synopsis:
A Kickstarter to fund the production of a new type of monster film, titled Boggy Creek Monster, is fully funded in just four days. The Kickstarter campaign reached a third of its funding goal in just 12 hours and 60% in just 24 hours. Currently, the film is backed by over 110 backers. Reactions to the announcement of the film have been wildly supportive.
The documentary will focus on the 1971 horror classic Legend of Boggy Creek and the true stories that inspired it, and it will be filmed in Fouke, Arkansas in partnership with author and television personality Lyle Blackburn. The titular monster became the subject of nationwide interest after a rash of sightings of a hair-covered beast rocked the tiny town of Fouke in the late 60s and early 70s.
The rewards include apparel, a one-of-a-kind poster (designed by artist Sam Shearon) featuring the Boggy Creek Monster himself, a Kickstarter-exclusive hoodie (based on Shearon’s design), and a chance to see the second film in the Small Town Monsters series, Beast of Whitehall, a full month before its official release on April 1st.
The Small Town Monsters films are unique in that they are independently funded and produced. Director Seth Breedlove, a 34-year-old investigative journalist, has been honing his craft as a documentarian since his first film, Minerva Monster, debuted to much acclaim. His partner on the Small Town Monsters’ series, Brandon Dalo (26), also acts as the composer of the scores used in the movies.
