I think that The Devil in the White City may make a great horror movie based on fact, if given a good screen treatment.

Hopefully, the movie (being brought to the screen by Leonardio DiCaprio) will combine the atmosphere of Ragtime with the historical prototype of Hannibal Lecter in the person of H H Holmes.

(Arguably, the other Lecter prototype would be Holmes' contemporary, Jack the Ripper.)

Have we talked about this before? I thought “White City” was
one of the most fascinating books I have read. I had a step
daughter at the U of Chicago while reading it and we tried
to retrace a lot of the book. Some of the campus is built on
the fair site.
