written by Jordan Peele has horror fans excited. 5

The film is being described as a spiritual sequel 6

Candyman is one of the scariest horror movies, 9

for a lot of horror fans, including me. 11

Just as an example, even though I am a very grown woman, 12

I will not say Candyman into a mirror five times. 13

Tananarive Due is an author and producer 14

Left a huge imprint on those of us who've seen it. 17

to almost a level of sort of a Shakespearian 20

and it is a really, really scary urban legend, 24

this idea that you can invite evil into your house 25

by just saying a name five times in a mirror. 27

Some people might know the urban legend Bloody Mary 31

which is very similar if you say that name several times. 32

But Candyman was originally from a short story 33

and it was a very different iteration of Candyman. 35

or the effects of slavery like Candyman as we know it. 39

So that story was centered mostly around the idea 40

and when Bernard Rose, the director and screenwriter, 42

decided to adapt this Clive Barker story, 43

and instead of looking at a class divide 45

Due says the 1992 version has its issues. 48

It's walking a very delicate line racially. 49

It wants to have an impact and make a message 50

and look at this terrible housing project, Cabrini-Green. 52

that is kind of old school and troubling 55

with D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation in 1915. 60

Even at the time, there were obviously some filmmakers 61

and viewers who thought that the emphasis on how 62

dirty Cabrini-Green is and how scary the black men are 63

not just Candyman but basically almost all of the back men 65

except for maybe there's a police officer. 66

and there are a lot of ways you can tell 68

that Candyman was sort of created for a white audience, 69

in a way that I think will be different 70

in the 2020 spiritual sequel, as it's called. 71

The urban legend is if you say his name five times 72

he appears in the reflection and it kills you. 74

also demand a new look at Candyman as a film not primarily, 76

it would seem, shot for a white audience 77

but a film that's really shot for everyone, 78

Well, I'm not gonna be the one to say his name 81

Why don't you find out if Candyman is real? 83

Technically, Candyman probably isn't real 84

but my attitude is, why take a chance? 85
