Candyman

Candyman is a horror movie that tells the story of a vengeful spirit who can be summoned by saying his name five times in front of a mirror. The movie is based on Clive Barker’s short story “The Forbidden,” and it takes place in a run-down Chicago housing project called Cabrini-Green.

The film follows an urban legend researcher named Helen Lyle who investigates the story of Candyman. As she delves deeper into the legend, she discovers the horrifying truth about his origins and becomes a target of his wrath.

Candyman was released in 1992 and has since become a cult classic in the horror genre. It has spawned two sequels and a remake is set to be released in 2021. The film’s exploration of themes like race, class, and urban decay has made it a critical darling, and its iconic villain has become a staple of horror pop culture.
