For safety reasons, most of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT was filmed in Illinois. The scenes on Endicott’s plantation were filmed in Tennessee though because there was no suitable property in the North ^PG #TCMParty

I love that the screenwriter of In the Heat of the Night, Stirling Silliphant, made a bet with a walk-on for Route 66 by the name of Harold P. Warren about making a horror film.
Warren went on to make Manos: The Hands of Fate, one of the worst movies of all time.

Silliphant, meanwhile, wrote this.
