Books for Halloween Bingo Square

Film at 11: The idea for this new space comes courtesy of Linda Hilton! Generally, in order to qualify for Halloween bingo, all books must fit into one of the general genres of horror, mystery, suspense or supernatural. This space is filled by any Halloween bingo book that has been adapted to film or television. For extra fun, you can watch the adaptation - although this is an optional add on!

... and then some, I see -- wow!
The better to see you, my dear
Lol! There are so many...
Themis-Athena's Garden of Books
Yes, seriously. Is there *any* classic (or bestselling) mystery, supernatural or horror novel that has NOT yet been adapted for the screen at least once? (Which of course makes this the kind of square that it's really, really easy to find books for!)
