With so many spooky and scary movies out there, it’s hard to decide what to watch when October rolls around. But why limit yourself to just viewing creepy content? Instead, not only watch but also read as you enjoy these movies based on literature.
‘Candyman’ (1992)
The works of British horror author Clive Barker have an uneven history of success, but few villains are as enduring or iconic as Tony Todd’s titular Candyman. Based on Barker’s short story “The Forbidden,” the movie moves the original setting of the slums of Liverpool to the storied Cabrini-Green housing projects in Chicago, yet maintains the themes of the power of folklore and poverty tourism.
