The movie was filmed in the village of Harmony, Maine at Bartlettyarns Inc., the oldest woolen yarn mill in the United States (est. 1821). The historic Bartlett mill was renamed "Bachman" for the movie, an homage to King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman. The interior shots of the antique mill machinery, and the riverside cemetery, were in Harmony. Other scenes (restaurant interior, and giant wool picking machine) were at locations in Bangor, Maine, at an abandoned waterworks and armory. A few other mill scenes were staged near the Eastland woolen mill in Corinna, Maine, which subsequently became a Super Fund site.
The name of the mill is Bachman Mills. Richard Bachman is a pseudonym used by Stephen King, upon whose short story the film was based.
When John and Jane are in the cafe together, Ippeston sitting in the booth behind them is reading a paperback of "Ben." "Ben" is a story of a socially dysfunctional boy who befriends a rat and uses other rats to extract revenge upon others. In the movie adaptation the boy and film was called Willard and the rat was called Ben. A subsequent sequel to the popular movie was called Ben.
Tom Savini was attached to direct the film in the late 1980s but pulled out due to lack of studio interest.
The patch on Cleveland's (The Exterminator) shoulder is the emblem of 33 ("Ba Muoi Ba"), a Vietnamese rice-brewed beer that was popular among American GIs who served during the war.
