Production

In an interview with Philip Rogers of Nerdly, Pablo Raybould recalled that the film's comedy horror influence originated from a previous visit to the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival, where Raybould believed that he could create a movie better than the majority screened there. Pablo also stated the movie drew heavy influences from An American Werewolf in London (1981).

Laurence Saunders stated that Pablo Raybould reached out to him, proposing a foolish character role. Saunders found interest in involvement after reading the script, highlighting its storytelling and humour. He also recalled that other actors shared a similar experience. Ben Manning stated that Raybould called him regarding the festival, discussing the potential production of The Snarling.

Albert Moses was cast as a hospital patient in the film in honor of his role in An American Werewolf in London. This casting was conducted through mutual connections.

Starburst wrote that the film was recorded throughout 2015. Filmed at Redditch and Alcester, only three people handled the majority of the behind-the-scenes production work, being: Raybould, Manning, and Jenny Browett. According to Raybould, the production members had little time to prepare lines due to their workload. Manning also shared a common ground, claiming that the process was exhausting, though the cast and crew were supportive.

Produced by Shooting Lodge Productions, The Snarling was filmed on a tight budget, a struggle for the movie's filmmaking, trailers, luxuries, and compensation for the crew. According to Manning, budget limitations sometimes led to solutions that improved scenes.
