On Episode 29 of The Terror Talks, we are discussing the films Candyman (1992) & Candyman (2021).

On Thursday, August 27th, MGM released their new film, "Candyman" to the public. 

This new film, adapted by the minds of Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfield, and Nia DeCosta would serve as a direct sequel to the 1992 film of the same name. 

With this information in mind, we decided it would be a good idea to watch both the original film and then go check out the newest addition. 

Candyman (1992): Skeptical graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) befriends Anne-Marie McCoy (Vanessa Williams) while researching superstitions in a housing project on Chicago's Near North Side. From Anne-Marie, Helen learns about the Candyman (Tony Todd), a knife-wielding figure of urban legend that some of her neighbors believe to be responsible for a recent murder. After a mysterious man matching the Candyman's description begins stalking her, Helen comes to fear that the legend may be all too real.

Candyman (2021): In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, Anthony and his partner move into a loft in the now gentrified Cabrini. A chance encounter with an old-timer exposes Anthony to the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to use these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, he unknowingly opens a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence.

Join us as we summon the legend, CANDYMAN!!
