As a "devil", the real Candyman has a pretty romantic story. Black man who was a son of a slave artist, fell in love with the girl child is located. The rich old man who was angry eventually send some goons to teach him a lesson. They cut off one hand. Then stripped and sprinkle the bees on his body. The black man was eventually killed by the very tragic.
The manner of his death became a figure of legend and myth will hook-handed Candyman. The legend says, when you stand in front of the mirror and Candyman's name five times, his spirit will surely come to spread death to you. Unfortunately, the legend was transformed into the most frightening reality to people who are testing the truth.
Compared to the "evil" other, Candyman relatively low profile. He was until now only featured as many as three films. The first film released in 1992.

This character does not have a row of film-connect connection as all the "demons" that have been discussed previously. But of the many films that contain himself, in addition to the version starring Bela Lugosi, the film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), directed by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppolla reliable enough to attract the attention of bystanders.

For a little bite Zombie is enough to kill you slowly and then make you a zombie who is also hungry for human flesh.
Countless zombie movies meant as an antagonist character. The films were mostly using toxic chemicals as a result of the development of military major cause of "disease" that continues to infectious zombies. Zombie of course, can be an effective and efficient army for the military.
Of the many zombie films, works of director George A. Romero counted the most praise. Beginning of the Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of The Dead (1985). Trilogy is so well known until he tried to grow it in the Land of the Dead (2005), to many observers regard it as quadralogy.
 
SCREAM KILLERS

Most of the bodies are stitched each other.
Werewolf is a werewolf. He turned into a vicious wolf full moon and kill people who he regarded as his enemy.

Become an obsession in Hollywood to bring together two or more important characters from different movies in a movie. The idea of ​​Superman vs. Batman, which is still kept simmering, or the film Alien vs. Predator (2004) who has had a sequel will prove it.
Especially for the character "Satan", the most striking moment is when the film Freddy vs. Jason (2003) was launched. Two "evil" are equally grim, many casualties, and charismatic, diduelkan in a film. This movie was smart enough when compared with the Alien vs. Predator. And certainly satisfy fans of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.
Film Van Helsing (2004) directed by Stephen Sommers also contains many characters "devil" in his film. There Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, and Mr. Hyde. Unfortunately they do not tell a duel with one another.

Action movie Underworld (2003) who has had a worthy sequel to presented. The essence of this film is the story of a battle between the Vampire with the Werewolf.
