It's one thing to inspire a horror movie, but to inspire two horror movies means something pretty creepy must be going on!

Quiltmaking Meets Spooky Haunts

Talk about a weird county (in the best way), Graves County is home to unique places like Fancy Farm Vineyard and Winery and the Barn Quilt Trail.  It's also home to the largest corn maze in the state of Kentucky, and a spooky monument in a cemetery that has garnered attention from Ripley's Believe it or Not!

Graves County is also the place where two different horror movies have been filmed in the last decade. It's just a coincidence that the county that inspired these movies is called "Graves" but I like to think that adds to the creepy Kentucky lore a little bit!

Here's what Mayfield and Graves Tourism has to say about Haunted Graves:

Mayfield & Graves County also is host to A-Maize-ing Farms, the largest corn maize in Kentucky, as well as terrifying places like Talon Falls Adventure Park in Melber and the Industrial Slaughterhouse in Fancy Farm (all three open every weekend during the month of October). When your name is Graves County and you’ve been home to the filming of not one, but two horror movies, you know you’ve got something spooky going on…thus, the creation of Haunted Graves.

The Two Horror Movies Inspired by (and Filmed In) Kentucky
