- Charles_B._Pierce abstract "Charles B. Pierce (June 16, 1938 – March 5, 2010) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, set decorator, cinematographer and actor, and is considered one of the first modern independent filmmakers. Pierce directed thirteen films over the span of 26 years, but is best known for his cult hits The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972) and The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976).Pierce was born in Hammond, Indiana, but moved to Arkansas early in his childhood. After working in production jobs at television stations, Pierce moved to Texarkana and started an advertising agency. He made his directorial debut with The Legend of Boggy Creek, a faux documentary-style film inspired by the legend of the Bigfoot-like Fouke Monster. The film was funded largely by a donation from an advertising client, and Pierce rented a local movie theater to exhibit it. The low-budget film grossed roughly $25 million.Pierce followed the success with several inexpensive, regional films set in Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Among them were The Town That Dreaded Sundown, based on the true story of the Phantom Killer murders in Texarkana. After years of pressure from producers, Pierce directed a Boggy Creek sequel, Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1985), which he considered the worst film of his career. The sequel was featured in a 1999 episode of the comedy television series Mystery Science Theater 3000, which ultimately increased Pierce's visibility. Pierce died of natural causes in Dover, Tennessee. His work has been cited as an influence on the horror film The Blair Witch Project (1999).".

- Charles_B._Pierce quote "He really did change the face of filmmaking. With his model, many filmmakers became successful with the drive-in creature feature, so to speak.".
- Charles_B._Pierce quote "I didn't want to do another Boggy Creek, not for a while. I was still trying to prove myself as a filmmaker; I didn't want to have to turn around and shoot the same thing all over again. I wanted to do something different.".
- Charles_B._Pierce quote "I really didn't want to do Boggy Creek II. I think it's probably my worst picture. This time, I spent almost as much on the creature suit as I did on the film itself. ... I played too big a role in the picture, and I had too many of my friends in it. It's all right, but it's not one of my favorites.".
- Charles_B._Pierce quote "I've always said that to be a decent director, you had to play well as a kid. I played cowboys and Indians and cars, built stick bridges and roads.".
