For those new to the chilling lore, allow me to explain. The legend of the Candyman goes like this: a poor, naive soul says the name \u201cCandyman\u201d into reflective glass five times, and a swarm of bees, followed by a mysterious figure wielding a hook for a hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears behind them. And, well, you can guess the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The first installment of the franchise, directed by Bernard Rose, was inspired by Clive Barker\u2019s short story \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20551663-the-forbidden\">The Forbidden<\/a>.\u201d The movie follows graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen), who decides to write her graduate thesis on the role of the Candyman legend in Chicago\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green_Homes\">Cabrini-Green housing project<\/a>. Unsurprisingly, messing with a dangerous mythical figure doesn\u2019t turn out to be the smartest idea.<\/p>\n<p>Upon its release, <i>Candyman<\/i> saw great success. It was followed by two sequels: <strong><i>Candyman: Farewell to Flesh<\/i><\/strong> (1995), and <strong><i>Candyman: Day of the Dead<\/i><\/strong> (1999). Now, two decades later, the urban legend is back. Produced by <strong>Jordan<\/strong> <strong>Peele<\/strong> (<em>Get Out<\/em>) and directed by <strong>Nia DaCosta <\/strong>(<em>Little Woods<\/em>), the new 2021 installment of <i>Candyman<\/i> promises to resurrect all of the thrills of the original \u2014 with some exciting new twists. Just don\u2019t be surprised if you can\u2019t look in your mirror for a few days after watching it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Candyman_Release_Date_and_Where_to_Watch\"><\/span>Candyman Release Date (and Where to Watch)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i>Candyman<\/i> was supposed to come out last summer, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, its release was significantly delayed. The long-awaited 2021 <em>Candyman <\/em>sequel will finally reach audiences far and wide in movie theaters on its new release date, August 27th. It is unclear when the film will be available to stream in the US, but its initial digital release date, for a prestige VOD rental, will either be seventeen or thirty-one days after it opens. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/05\/cineworld-regal-universal-windows-deal-1234755459\/\">Universal\u2019s deal with theaters<\/a> is determined by its opening weekend box office gross. It stays exclusive to cinemas longer if it does more than $50 million in its debut. So look out for our box office analysis on August 30th to see the outcome. For now, you can purchase tickets\u2026 at your own risk!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Candyman_Cast\"><\/span>Candyman Cast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While <strong>Tony<\/strong> <strong>Todd<\/strong> will be reprising his role as the one and only Candyman for the 2021 sequel, the remainder of the new movie\u2019s lead players is comprised of newcomers to the franchise. <strong>Yahya <\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">Abdul-<\/strong><strong>Mateen<\/strong> <strong>II<\/strong> (HBO\u2019s <em>Watchmen<\/em>) stars in the sequel as Anthony McCoy, an artist whose work is inspired by the gruesome legend.\u00a0<strong>Teyonah<\/strong> <strong>Parris<\/strong> (<em>WandaVision<\/em>) plays Anthony\u2019s girlfriend, Brianna Cartwright, and <strong>Nathan Stewart-Jarrett<\/strong> (<em>Generation<\/em>) plays her brother, Troy. <strong>Colman<\/strong> <strong>Domingo<\/strong> (<em>Zola<\/em>) plays William Burke, a man who informs Anthony about the Candyman.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Plot_of_the_Sequel\"><\/span>The Plot of the Sequel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You won\u2019t recognize him, but Yahya Abdul-Mateen II\u2019s character, Anthony McCoy, actually appears in the 1992 movie.\u00a0As a baby, he was kidnapped by the Candyman, but Helen Lyle rescued him.\u00a0Now, decades later, Anthony returns to the Cabrini-Green neighborhood \u2013 though the housing project is mostly gone and the area has been gentrified beyond recognition. Upon arrival, he becomes obsessed with the Candyman myth and allows it to influence his art. Spoiler alert: making Candyman-based art is probably not the best idea. Now, thanks to Anthony, Candyman is back. Another spoiler alert: that\u2019s not a good thing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_the_Trailers\"><\/span>Watch the Trailers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you think the first trailer for <i>Candyman<\/i> achieved peak creepiness, you\u2019re wrong. The second trailer comes with even more chilling moments. Anthony getting stuck in an elevator after saying the forbidden word one too many times? I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m brave enough for that. Check out both trailers here. Warning: don\u2019t watch them if you\u2019re afraid of bees.

In 2019, Tony Todd <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/news\/288081\/interview-tony-todd-sets-the-record-straight-on-unmade-candyman-vs-leprechaun-crossover\/\">told Dread Central<\/a> that he was once offered a role in the horror franchise mashup. His response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2018I will never be involved in something like that.\u2019 I respect the character. Once a horror character becomes something of an icon [like Candyman], reluctantly or not, you have to treat that with respect. I remember watching \u2018<i>Abbott and Costello vs Frankenstein\u2019 <\/i>as a kid and being amazed that my horror legends were making a comedy. So I guess there are some ways to make something like that work, but I wasn\u2019t interested in doing that with Candyman.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Were we robbed of <em>Candyman vs. Leprechaun\u2019<\/em>s brilliance? I guess we\u2019ll never know. One thing is for sure, though: whether you\u2019re a seasoned fan of the franchise, or you\u2019re looking to get hooked (get it?) on something new, <i>Candyman<\/i> has something for everyone. You just might want to cover your mirror up for a few days after watching it.\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
