He’s a pretty damn angry guy and with reason to be, to say the least. ![]() The tortured soul is the result of a man who died a tragic death and was known as the “Candyman” ( Tony Todd), that (now in his summoned form) has a hook for his hand. I will not go into complete detail here of what all exactly happens, as to avoid dishing out “spoilers” for those who have never seen the film, but let’s just say that this boogeyman type of urban legend turns out to be real. This is one rabbit hole that our protagonist is about to dive down, and starts to leave her feeling like she’s gone “through the looking glass” so-to-speak. Yet another horrifying tale is given, and a location of where it happened as well. Helen seems determined to find out more about this urban legend called the “Candyman” and manages to get another story from one of the cleaning ladies at the college. So, it’s safe to say that the relationship between Helen and her husband isn’t really all too good. Helen is married to a professor at the college, “Trevor” ( Xander Berkeley), and it’s become quite obvious that he may be sleeping with on of his female students. This leaves Helen very intrigued, so she tells Bernadette about the story. The female student telling Helen this story ends basically saying that the girl was killed because she decided to say his name the fifth (and final) time. The story she tells involves a teenage girl babysitting, her boyfriend arriving, and her deciding to get a scare out of him by saying “Candyman” five times into the mirror, which is supposed to summon him. As the film starts out we are listening (along with Helen) as one of the student volunteers is telling her a story about an urban legend she has heard of. The protagonist here is a grad student at the University of Illinois named “Helen” ( Virginia Madsen) that is researching urban legends, with her fellow grad student “Bernadette” ( Kasi Lemmons). ![]() The story for the screenplay was adapted from a short story ( “The Forbidden”) written by Clive Barker that can be found in volume 5 of his “ Books of Blood“ series. “Candyman” was a psychological thriller / horror film from 1992, written & directed by Bernard Rose.
