8) Casper
Casper, a story of the famous Friendly Ghost, was filmed in 1995 in Camden. The story was set in the quaint fishing village of Friendship, but ironically the producers thought Friendship wasn't quaint enough so they chose Camden instead.

9) Carousel
This 1956 classic starring Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones was filmed in Boothbay Harbor and Newcastle.
|
|
10) Pet Sematary
Stephen King's 1989 Pet Sematary starring Fred Gwynne and Dale Midkiff was filmed in Hancock, Acadia, Bangor, and Ellsworth. Gwynne's attempt at a Maine accent is one of the most appalling in film history.
