The Powderly Prowler
Posted by: Joe Watson on March 19th, 2015
Hope you enjoy the teaser for our upcoming movie, “The Powderly Prowler”. A group of about 30 friends from North Texas who are working to create our own “Bigfoot” feature film. It’s not a documentary but rather our own story about a rural community being terrorized by a creature some call Bigfoot. We have ZERO budget and all of us are novices …. we plan on having a great time and hope you enjoy the film.
“The Powderly Prowler” A rural community in Northeast Texas is terrorized by a creature some call Bigfoot. The film is being filmed and produced in Lamar County Texas by Joe Watson. The idea from the film began as a bigfoot comedy only to grow and change during the early stages. The film will include about 30 local actors who have all volunteered their time and skills to the film including Craig Woolheater who will have a cameo role. Expect suspense, a scare now and then along with a touch of humor. Local/National recording artists Jeremy Phifer and Merrol Ray are allowing their music to be used in the film.
About Joe Watson
Joe Watson has been interested in the unknown since he was a young boy.
Growing up in rural Northeast Texas his interests were mostly in the classic sci-fi movies, King Kong, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Creature from the Black Lagoon.
In the 1970s his oldest sister was living in Portland, Oregon when word of Bigfoot hit national news. He was instantly captivated by the thought of a giant man-ape in the Pacific Northwest. Then it happened, The Legend of Boggy Creek was released to theaters and was showing in Paris, Texas … only about 100 miles west of Fouke.
In a matter of weeks Joe visited Fouke and for years proudly displayed
the Fouke Monster bumper sticker on his truck.
As the years passed Joe’s interest in unknown creatures continued to grow. He was known to always carry a camera and was not shy about asking questions when someone mentioned creatures. He also developed a keen eye for both photo and video hoaxes.
Being a fan of Art Bell’s “Dreamland” and “Coast to Coast AM” radio shows was also an influence. Learning from both experts and frauds on the radio shows was great entertainment. Mountain Monsters, The Walking Dead, Finding Bigfoot, Monsters and Mysteries are all favorite shows on television these days.
Joe is currently producing a film about a Bigfoot creature called “The Powderly Prowler”. It’s a fictional story about a creature terrorizing a small rural community in Texas. Which happens to be where Joe grew up. “We are a bunch of amateurs who have a dream to create our own movie. We have a script, our camera and a little experience
editing video. Regardless of the outcome we are sure to have a lot of fun. As a kid growing up in Powderly, Texas, I heard and saw a lot of creepy stuff I’d like to share with others.
I do believe there is a creature out there but have not seen it myself.”
Currently you will find Joe teaching computer applications and video broadcasting in a local Jr High School.
