From Small Town Monsters and director Seth Breedlove, the upcoming film MOMO: The Missouri Monster will soon be available nationwide on DVD, Vimeo OnDemand, Amazon Instant Video, and VIDI Space. As the title suggests, the film explores the three-toed creature sighted during the summer of 1972 by the residents of Star Hill, Missouri, haunting them for weeks. The case drew national attention at the time and has since turned the tiny town into a tourist attraction.
MOMO: The Missouri Monster will feature a blend of a narrative horror story with a documentary about the creature. The narrative section is presented as a lost B-movie from the ’70s, told in the style of the creature features of the era. In the horror sequences, the most sensational aspects of the MOMO legend are explored to tell a story, with the documentary portions serving to correct the misconceptions and tell the truth behind the mythical legend.

Synopsis: The year was 1972 and the place was a tiny, quaint, riverfront town called Louisiana, Missouri. On a warm summer evening, two local kids saw a creature in their own backyard holding a dead dog. Before you could say the word “Bigfoot”, local media and police officials had pounced on the story. Overnight Louisiana became “monster central” with creature seekers and monster hunters combing the woods to look for “the thing” that the newspapers had dubbed “MOMO”. One particular family was at the center of this whirlwind of activity and as the Missouri Monster sightings began to increase, so did the negative impact on the Harrisons. In 1975, a film crew set out to tell an over-the-top, filmic version of the MOMO sightings. Due to one reason or another, this should-have-been-cult-classic was never released. Until now.
