It's the Bartlett Mill est. 1829. There was a fire , but the Bartlett family rebuilt quickly. They are in business yet today, selling wool, alpaca and other fiber yarns in the offices across the street from the mill. They also have a website where they sell the yarns they have. And the history of the mill. I do know it is the oldest continues working mill in the state.
It's called Bartlett Yarns, the original mill from the 1800s burned in the 1920s(?) and a modern for then mill was built, I heard they still make yarn from wool on equipment from 100 years ago, been years since I have been in that area.
Thanks for all the factual info! Much appreciated. Like I said, this was a pretty impromptu stop so I certainly wasn’t prepared with the history of the mill. Probably should have at least gotten the actual name right though! 🤦♂️😆
A real mill playing a mill. It is quite rare to see practical locations which are not only real, but which had also actually served the same purposes in real life as the buildings which they played in films. It's not too common to see real buildings used so extensively in the picture. It's sad yet, at the same time, somewhat symbolic that this building appears to be as abandoned and forgotten as the film itself - an excellent, underappreciated, unjustly abandoned picture, with a surreal, dreamy-nightmarish atmosphere.
I LOVE this movie. This is one of the few times I prefer the film. Brad Dourif kills it, the bat looks great, it's dirty and gross where it needs to be, and when its clean, it's not pristine, so it looks real. I hate pristine horror flicks. It's hot, there're bugs, rats, no one has a new car, the richest guy we see has a fly inside his coffee pot...it's the realest movie about a monster bat you're gonna see.

I always wondered about these locations I love this movie definitely underrated
Finally on GS. I love this movie!
This is the route we drive when going to my brother in law’s house in Cambridge, never realized this was an SK filming location!!

Basements that close to rivers don’t last and the water would poor in
Wonder if the Holiday Inn sign is a future site where that building will be torn down, not sure just a guess
What kind of accent was the foreman/boss speaking? I thought he was so cool, great movie.
its called the main accent
*Maine. Yeah, he does a great job of portraying older Maine folk from not Southern Maine. 😅
