First time I watched Creepshow 2 after moving to Maine from Canada in 1999 I almost shit my pants!!! 😂 I lived up the hill and around the corner from that Reny's in Dexter!
16:05 during a Winter storm in 2003 i got locked out of my dorm up in Orono and couldnt get in, it was around 3am, so i decided to drive home to Brewer. Well i was going around that corner and slid off the road into the ditch. Luckily a truck drove by and was able to pull me out easily. Whenever I tell the story I always say it was right where this movie was filmed. "Thanks for the ride lady!"
I worked as a paramedic insecurities on serval of Stephen King's movies including this one and the shots at the Edythe Dyer Library took place in a couple locations but one was in front and down over the hill as you go to the retirement community and the car we shook the car and literally were holding and moving branches from the front of the car to the back to simulate the car moving while The Hitchhiker was on top. A lot of fun and some great memories so thank you for sharing
10:30 I remember my mother telling me about seeing filming down here going on when she was driving home from work, and 15:00 I regularly take this exit when driving to see my parents, and think of that scene every time lol
Small correction from a Bangor local to the shot at 11:40. That shot is the intersection of State St and Exchange St. In the film there is a car turning right onto State St which in real life is a one way.
The scene where the hitchhiker is in the woods and crushed against the tree is in Old Town, Maine in the University woods. If you drive down Jefferson St where it turns into Perkins Ave, on the corner is a bike path into the woods. it was filmed in the woods in that area. Also, they used Carver Road and Library Road near the Library in Hampden when she was driving on the dirt roads. I believe it was on Library Road where she runs over the Hitchhiker over and over, back and forth. Back in the 80s when they were still dirt roads before they were ever developed.
Exactly! I was living in Pine Haven trailer park on Stillwater Ave in Old Town at the time of filming. My roommate and I watched while they filmed on the bike path.
@@KingGhost78OG thanks man! Very cool! Yeah if there’s any Pet Sematary spots you don’t know how to get to, you’ll find it all here on my channel! Cheers!
@@BillCassinelli thanks!! I appreciate that very much! Bangor is one I do NOT mispronounce but I can’t deny that I do enjoy correcting tourists on how to say that one. 😆
Retirement community is relatively new. Even in the late 90s there was a road you could drive from the library to another road. There was a gravel pit in there too. Road ran on top of the river bank.
I lived in Dexter, If you look at your example, you will see the coats and such hanging in the window for sale at Renys. There was not actually a news stand there but one was superimposed for the movies sake.
I live in Maine, not too far from Dexter. I have shopped in that Reny's many times. I have often remarked on the lamp post street lights. I never knew there was donated to the town.
When I saw the fork in the road I new I've driven there a few times and that was the first place I thought of Dexter it's changed a little bit since I used to go there to run a business.
They actually filmed part of it in Old Town I know because they parked their vehicles in our driveway. Stephen is friends with my mother and of course, she agreed to let them park
That opening was almost straight out of the movie. You were talking about how scared you were as a kid & it looked at first like The Creep himself(voiced by Tom Savini👺) was coming to deliver a package/the 1st issue of Thanks for the ride Billy😂
Damn, lived in Corinth my whole life and been through Dexter plenty of times. Never would have guessed that a horror movie did some filming there of all places.
If I remember correctly,the Exit was fairly new at the time-construction had just ended........You`ve gotta be either a transplant or from Southern Maine(aka Northern MASS),because NO ONE from around here pronounces Hampden like Hampton--@18:15 and @27:27.....it`s "ham-den",not "hamp-ton"........
@@stephenmcgraw8871 😆 this is hilarious. Nah man. I’ve lived in Maine my whole life. Born and raised on the midcoast. Sorry my pronunciation of your towns name was the biggest thing you took from this video. I’ll try to do better.
you literally don't know what literally means, and/or is used for as a word. as you were literally walking down the road literally holding your camera. see how literally isn't meat for simple things everyday mistakes ..look it up you will feel and sound smarter lol.
Interesting critique. 32 minute video and that’s what you took from it? Lol I didn’t notice that I said the word literally at all in the entire video, but thanks for the feedback! I’ll do better.
@@wjd329your vid rocked and this person needs to focus on their spelling and punctuation before they ride your ass about a word. I LITERALLY almost had a stroke trying to understand what they were trying to convey.
Very enjoyable as always!

@@78masternate thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
THANKS FOR THE RIDE, LADY! 😂
Awesome video to show our local filming locations for the film! BTW, Hampden is pronounced with the "P" silent, as "Hamden."
@@BillCassinelli thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I was corrected on that earlier with my pronunciation. My bad
@@wjd329 No worries, brother! We in Bangor appreciate the work you've done!

Those lamp posts in Dexter were gifted to Dexter for allowing them to film there.

Mainer here and I wish they would film more movies set in Maine here. I've heard it's too expensive to film here.
