A movie before its time? CJ & TC discuss the legend of Candyman.

Candyman was released on September 11th 1992 by Tristar pictures. The film follows Helen a grad student writing a thesis on Urban Legends. The project takes a drastic turn when Helen focuses on the local tale of Candyman, a black aristocrat from the 1800’s who was lynched for impregnating a white woman. Legend has it that Candyman will return to kill those who invoke his name 5 times while looking in a mirror. After summoning him herself, Helen’s life begins to resemble the very urban legends she once studied. This understated horror movie was made for 9 million and made a respectable $25 million

- Directed by Bernard Rose and starring Virginia Madden, Tony Todd, Xander Berkeley, and Kasi Lemmons
