The legacy of the Bloody Benders is one that has haunted America's collective memory for centuries. Even though they have been dead and gone since 1874, their story still lives on in books, movies, television shows, and other forms of popular media. This infamous family’s tale is a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong when traveling through rural areas during this period in history as well as a cautionary tale about trusting strangers who may not be what they seem; especially those living in isolated inns located deep within the countryside.
