Small Town Monsters, Seth Breedlove’s cryptozoology-centric production company, has released the first look at their new docudrama MOMO: THE MISSOURI MONSTER.

According to the press release:

“The newest creature feature from Small Town Media, MOMO: THE MISSOURI MONSTER seeks to tell the true, and truly strange story of the Missouri Monster. The hair-covered, three-toed monstrosity was said to have prowled the forests of Star Hill, near Louisiana, Missouri during the summer of 1972 where it was spotted by terrified citizens for weeks. The film stars Adam Duggan and Sara Heddleston, as well as Animal Planet’s Cliff Barackman and James “Bobo” Fay with special appearances by Janet Jay and Elizabeth Saint (Ghosts of Shepherdstown). Told in both narrative and documentary form. The narrative sections appear as a lost b-movie from the 1970s, inspired by Breedlove’s lifelong fascination with grindhouse movies and creature features. The horror film depicts the widely accepted details of the Momo legend and is eventually contradicted and corrected by the actual survivors who lived through the events. 

The latest title to crawl forth from the production powerhouse behind last year’s best-selling documentary ON THE TRAIL OF BIGFOOT, MOMO: THE MISSOURI MONSTER. is set for a fall release. A midnight premiere is scheduled at the Kentucky Theater in Lexington, Kentucky on Friday, September 6th with cast and crew in attendance. The premiere will coincide with Cryptid-Con, a cryptozoology and paranormal convention celebrating its third year and featuring a number of renowned authors, television personalities, and speakers.”
