Production:

The Legend of Boggy Creek was produced on a small budget. Local businessman, L.W. "Buddy" Ledwell, put up most of the money along with some cooperation from music director Jaime Mendoza-Nava and editor Tom Boutross. The script was written by Earl E. Smith. Most of the actual film crew were volunteers consisting of high school students from Texarkana and Fouke.

Primary Cast:

During the filming of The Legend of Boggy Creek, Charles Pierce used many locals from Fouke, Arkansas to re-enact their encounters. Pierce did not have much in the way of budget, so this provided a way to keep expenses low and to give the movie a very authentic feel.

It is interesting to note that the narrator, Vern Stierman, was the weatherman for the Texarkana-Shreveport NBC Affiliate Channel 6.
