Abandoned building featured from a Walking Dead episode

A number of episodes of the AMC series The Walking Dead were shot in the town. Since the shooting of the series tourism to the town has increased greatly, making it an important industry to the town. Grantville was chosen as a location in The Walking Dead because of the number of faded and dilapidated buildings that give parts of the town a "post-apocalyptic" feeling, a result of the decline in the cotton industry in the area.[4]

The movies Lawless and Broken Bridges were also shot in Grantville.[4] Recently, nine buildings in downtown were listed for sale on eBay.[5]

A scene from the 2014 movie Dumb and Dumber To was shot in Grantville. (The Barbara Hershey town)
