Wadesboro is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Sets were constructed at an Antebellum-era plantation outside Wadesboro, while the town of Marshville had its paved roads covered in mud and clay to match the early 20th-century setting.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Wadesboro as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- The Color Purple 1985

Evil Dead II
1987
“The production commenced in Wadesboro, North Carolina, not far from De Laurentiis' offices in Wilmington.” Wikipedia
Named here by Wadesboro’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Wadesboro, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Evil Dead II 1987
“Horror film Evil Dead II was filmed in Wadesboro, and the Huntley House became the production office for the film.” Wikipedia
