Ha! I saw Harry and the Hendersons floating in an innertube in a pook at some water park outside of Atlanta.

Me & my Bigfoot movies!

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!
I saw it at the drive in too! Southern Drive-Ins are the best. (Joe Bob, what happened to him incidentally)
And you’re right. SQ noticed that I got them confused.
You are absolutely correct! (I’m also on some gross hydro cough syrup when I wrote that with the lovely added stimulant of steroids for a yucko case of bronchitis. My brain is sadly broken this past week. I need an editor, copywriter and life coach as well as a winning lottery ticket.)
Now, if you really want to laugh, After I saw the second one also at the Drive-In when Hooterville was blessed with four in the area, we sat in lawn chairs in the back of pick-up truck and I remember the police searching this plastic bin we had filled with Sterling beer because it was all we could find from a little convenience store where the old guy running it wouldn’t let us buy Budweiser. True Story.
I did see Boggy Creek 3 and didn’t make it through. SUCKED!

Yeah, you outgeeked me and thanks for making the correction.

Oh Newscoma, I hate to outgeek you, but…

I saw Boggy Creek at a Drive-in in 1973 when I was 6-years-old. Watched from the back seat of a white ‘66 Dodge Charger with dark green leather seats. There were swings and slides in front of the screen where I played until the cartoons started. Me and my mom and dad had the most awesome pepperoni pizza I’ve ever put in my mouth. To this day it’s my standard. I remember that night very well. And the nightmares I had for years afterward. And, contrary to your assertion Dawn Welles (who I agree, is the sexy one), wasn’t in it. Dawn Welles (and the late Dana Plato of Diff’rent Strokes fame) were in Return to Boggy Creek which was released in the late 70’s or early 80’s.

The former was a low budget documentary-style film made by novice filmmakers. It cost thousands and made millions. The latter— well, I don’t know if it made much money or not, but it wasn’t associated with the original. I remember seeing it on TV and being REALLY disappointed. There was a third Boggy Creek movie too, but I don’t remember anything about it.

Now there’s a clue, Scott!

All we have to do is look for anyone with long hair and one missing size 28 Reebok cross-trainer.

Hey there…came across your post via Technorati. I live in the booming metropolis of Charlotte, NC…not too many BigFoot sightings ’round these parts.

I did, however, hear a hilarious story from one of my clients in Oregon. He owns a specialized shoestore up there, and somebody apparently walked off (pun intended) with a 4-foot shoe he had on display. BigFoot, perhaps? I’d love it if you check out my post about it.

Love your writing!

I know. I love Venture Brothers! I’m very happy for both of them.
Long live the memories of the 70s but, hell, I don’t want to go back there. Wasn’t too fond of disco and spandex (of course, I was about 11 years-old.)

Don’t you watch Venture Brothers? Bigfoot and Steve Austin lived happily ever after.
