The Monroes The Forest Devil (1966–1967) watch online HD

This is one of my favorite episodes. In this episode, the Monroes' homestead is being attacked by a strange animal. Jim is terrified of it and his people think it's some sort of evil spirit. Clay tries everything to get rid of it. He hires a trapper, he hangs bate and sets traps yet this little devil seems to be able to overcome it.

There is a dark sense to this episode. In a lot of the scenes, we hear the growling of the animal as he attacks the pelts and food. The Mornoes are left with hardly everything.

This is the only episode I remember vividly from my childhood. The episode was scary then as well! The way the animal is killed is yet another taste of Halloween, and this is another example of Major Mapoy's way of being nice without being nice...

I was seven years old when this originally aired. I clearly remember how creepy it was!

The Monroes' homestead is set upon by an unseen animal that destroys their food and supplies, and kills their calf. The only clue is a paw-print that frightens Jim, who calls it "Carcachoo" or forest devil.

All efforts to trap or kill the creature prove futile. A local rancher is able to identify the animal as a wolverine, and puts a $50 bounty on it to protect his cattle.

The animal is only shown briefly, and mostly the audience sees shots from its point of view, accompanied by growls and heavy breathing. This adds to the suspense.
