The Perfect Setting for Murder

When you think of sleepy old towns, what comes to mind?

For me, I think of murder. Maybe my mind is warped or maybe I've watched too much Matlock and Twilight Zone, but one thing's for sure, if you want a perfect setting for murder, you don't have to look any farther than a small town.

I picked Halls, Tennessee as the setting for Gravediggers for lots of reasons, but one was because it has been able to retain a small town feel. From the drugstore to the city park, it has a feel of a town time forgot.
 The charm of Main Street lives on and the flashing stoplight speaks for itself. Enjoy a few pics.
You'll find all kinds of southern hospitality in this store
