Graveyard Shift is a short story by Stephen King , that appears in his Night Shift collection. It was adapted into a feature film of the same name in 1990. PLOT SUMMARY A young drifter has been working at a decrepit textile mill in a small town in s, while others have grown so large that they have no hind legs. Some have even gained rudimentary Flight . They eventually come across a sub-basement, locked from the inside, that harbors something more terrifying and hideous than any of the men could have dreamed - a Cow -sized mother rat with no eyes or legs, only breeding more rats. FILM, TV OR THEATRICAL ADAPTATIONS The movie was filmed in the Maine village of Harmony at Bartlettyarns Inc. , the oldest woolen yarn mill in the United States (est. 1821). The historic Bartlett mill was renamed "Bachman" for the movie. 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. EXTERNAL LINKS |
