Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Candyman”
Clive Barker
Clive Barker — the mastermind behind other horror stories and movies like Hellraiser — wrote the short story “The Forbidden,” on which the film is based. The short story version — part of his “Books of Blood” series — focuses on a university student who’s working on a thesis about graffiti and finds some disturbing graffiti focused on the mythical figure, Candyman.
