A cemetery in Evans City, Pennsylvania, has become a tourist attraction among fans of George A. Romero's 1968 horror film "Night of the Living Dead," which was shot on location there. The film remains one of the defining works of the horror genre, and several grave markers visible in the movie continue to draw visitors to the site.

Among the notable graves is the headstone of Nicholas Kramer, a Civil War veteran whose marker appears in a scene featuring the film's famous line "They're coming to get you, Barbra!" The Blair and Cole plot is another site that visitors locate, marking the place where two of the film's characters stop to pay respects to their father.

A third grave attracts attention from film enthusiasts: that of Clyde Lewis Meyers, where a pivotal scene unfolds in which one of the film's main characters strikes his head while fighting with one of the film's undead creatures.
