Check out our first in-depth MOMO interview. Plus, new advanced MOMO reviews!
Here is the first in-depth interview Seth has given regarding MOMO: The Missouri Monster! Thanks to our friends at Frightday for taking the time to talk about the film with us! Listen to the chat at the link below...
“In the early 1970’s a rural Missouri community called Louisiana was at the center of a series of fowl smelling, blood soaked, dog carrying, ape-like creature sightings. This week Kelly got the chance to talk all about it with documentary filmmaker, friend, and regular guest, Seth Breedlove.”
“In true exploitation film style, the events of this “lost classic” don’t always match what really happened. This gives Blackburn a nice context for his questions, contrasting the fictionalized version with what these people remember. It’s a novel approach and makes a nice change from the usual interview style in documentaries. Momo: The Missouri Monster deserves credit for finding a way to liven the format up.” continue reading at Voices from the Balcony
This fantastical film breaks up the talking heads of the documentary and keeps the story moving along and, as I said before, it especially works because of that. Also, anyone who lived through those early VHS days and are fans of these kinds of things will be joyous about it. continue reading at Indie Horror
”When you hear the word MOMO, typically a freaky bird-girl comes to mind, unless you’ve lived in Missouri for a while. There, the name is more commonly attached to a legendary creature believed by some to have stalked the forests of Star Hill, near Louisiana, during the summer of 1972.” continue reading at Pop Geeks

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 and before you could say the word “Bigfoot” the local media and police officials alike 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 grindhouse, should-have-been-cult-classic was never released. Until now…
In this latest film from Small Town Monsters experience the MOMO encounters like never before! Equal parts documentary and narrative horror film, MOMO: The Missouri Monster seeks to examine a decades old case, and to uncover the impact a “creature feature” can have on a local legend. Delve deep into the heart of “monster mania” in this, the largest undertaking of its kind!
Directed by Seth Breedlove and featuring cameos by Cliff Barackman and James “Bobo” Fay of Finding Bigfoot!
