Parts of "Swamp Thing," a horror flick directed by Wes Craven, were filmed at the Aiken-Rhett House in 1982. Part of the charm of this mansion is the faded, worn feel it has. Starting in 1898, as the Aiken family started to dwindle in numbers, rooms that were no longer needed were sealed up, so a tour today shows them as they were 100 years ago, peeling wallpaper, worn carpets and all. Some of the property buildings have survived as well, so a tour also includes slave quarters, a kitchen and horse stables.
