In August of 2002, Director - Robert T. Morphy and Producer - Michael W. DeForrest traveled to the mist shrouded bayous and backwater sloughs of Louisiana’s Honey Island Swamp (which rides along the border of Mississippi) in order to shoot the inaugural episode of what they intend to be an ongoing, cryptozoological documentary television series entitled "American Monsters".

This series will deal with some of the more famous (as well as obscure) “monsters”, which allegedly dwell in the continental United States. The first installment of the series details the terrifying beast known as the Honey Island Swamp Monster, which is said to be a voracious carnivore that stands approximately 7-feet tall, and weighs well over 350 lbs.

Traveling through the alligator infested swamps in the dead of night and going to great lengths to get interviews with eyewitness, skeptics and believers alike, the American Monster's team have been able to paint a vivid portrait of this little known and extremely dangerous animal, which was first brought to national attention in the 1970’s, when an episode of the Leonard Nimoy narrated series “In Search Of…” was dedicated to the creature.
The mystery of this enigmatic bestendures and the And the Crew from American Monsters was there to chronicle it all.
