BOGGY CREEK II: AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES is part of our Vinegar Syndrome Archive collection, celebrating forgotten cinematic oddities from the video store era. This collection was inspired by our own brick & mortar video stores, with locations in Bridgeport, CT; Aurora, CO and soon to come Toronto, ON!
Unique to this line, each hand numbered limited edition release will come fitted in a specially designed, bottom loading VHS inspired slipcase, while also including a double-sided poster.
These releases will ONLY be available on our website and at participating indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them. This slipcase edition (designed by Gary Pullin) is strictly limited to 4,000 units and may (but probably not) be followed by a standard edition in the future.

Zoology professor, Dr. Brian Lockhart, has long been fascinated by the legend of Bigfoot. Having heard tales of the mythic furry creature wreaking havoc in the swamps of Louisiana, Dr. Lockhart sets out to investigate these strange occurrences for himself, aided by a ragtag team including assistant Leslie Ann Walker and local kid, Tim Thornton. Hitting the road in their camper, the group encounter person after person who relay their strange and often frightening encounters with the beast, while the creature itself remains elusive…though as they get deeper into the wilderness, stranger things begin to happen. Could the stories be true? And if Bigfoot is really out there, is he friend or foe, but most importantly what does he want?
A spiritual sequel to the early 70s blockbuster, Charles B. Pierce's BOGGY CREEK II: AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES re-situates the Bigfoot myth into a sun-baked, undeniably 80s new age-y setting and features director Pierce co-starring with his son, Chuck Pierce Jr., all tied together by Shirak Kojayan's (Smokey and the Hotwire Gangs) lush nature photography and Frank & Lori McKelvey’s catchy folk soundtrack. Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents this mash up of backwoods folktale and vanity project on Blu-ray for the very first time, newly restored from rare 35mm elements.

Reviews
He's An _Anthrologist_
"Movie: Overall kind of a nothingburger, but there are a few interesting things that happen. The highlight is definitely the scene where somehow "sensors" + an '80s computer hooked to a generator allow a group of people who are _camping_ to have essentially a functioning **radar** that can also _estimate the weight of things moving around in the woods_! Graded on the low-budget curve it's actually pretty suspenseful. After that it falls off a lot. We get a pretty egregiously acted scene where the two female leads get stuck out in the woods for NO REASON, other than probably misogyny. Towards the end it starts to feel like a vanity project, and you remember that the lead actor is also the director. Extras: In addition to the commentary track you also get a double-side poster, although I wish one side were the original poster art for the movie."

This was ok.
"I had a bit of a tight time getting through this. But it’s ok. Can’t really recommend though."
— Marcus B. (2/5)
The commentary is fun to
"The commentary is fun to listen to. This film has a documentary atmosphere. It makes for a fun viewing. Especially with friends. Pick up a copy if you like sasquatch films or follow Bigfoot stuff. Great addition."
— Bradley T. (5/5)
Pure cult fun
"A wonderfully odd creature feature with that perfect so-bad-it’s-good charm. This release looks great and is a must for fans of quirky 80s cult cinema."
— Jamie M. (5/5)
Good Sequel
"Can’t live up to the first but still a good time."
— Andrew K. (5/5)

Just Let Him Be Free!

— Dakota D. (5/5)
Awful Film
"Awful but I love underseen gems like this"
— Bryan V. (5/5)
Fun to watch
"Boggy Creek II: And the Legend is fun to watch, not the best in the series, but what I really enjoy is seeing the beautiful Arkansas landscapes from the mid-80s."
— Philippe D. (3/5)
It was OK
"If you need every 80's horror/monster film in your library."
— Daniel M. (3/5)
