The film was a major success, considering its small budget, but the actors had to sue to get paid. After more than three years, the case was settled for $90,000. After attorney's fees, each actor got $1,000.
Director/producer Charles B. Pierce funded the film by borrowing $160,000 from an Arkansas trucking company, and filmed it on an older-model movie camera.
The film is based upon actual reported encounters with a Bigfoot creature in the Fouke-Boogy Creek area of Arkansas throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Most of the actors in the film were the actual people from the encounters.
The film was a tremendous success at drive-ins. It grossed $20 million, making it the 10th highest grossing movie of 1972.
Nearly all of the cast never appeared in another film.
