I especially dig a solid short story, and one of my favorites is Hellraiser and Candyman creator Clive Barker’s monster-on-the-loose tale Rawhead Rex.
Pavlou directed the original take on Clive Barker’s Rawhead Rex from a screenplay written by Barker himself.
Rawhead Rex the short story was originally published as part of Barker’s infamous Books of Blood collections.
Along with Rawhead Rex, Volume 3 of Barker’s Books of Blood, specifically included tales such as Son of Celluloid, Confessions of a (Pornographer’s) Shroud, Scape-Goats, and Human Remains.
