Small Town Monsters has released the first look at their new docudrama MOMO: THE MISSOURI MONSTER. The newest creature feature, from Small Town Media founder and director Seth Breedlove, seeks to tell the true and truly strange story of the Missouri Monster 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 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 case gained national media attention during the ’70s and remains one of the largest tourist draws for the tiny town on the banks of the Mississippi River.
