The Candyman series is a vastly underrated series of slasher films. It doesn't garner near the notoriety of Hallowe'en, Friday the 13th or A Nightmare on Elm Street but as far the slasher film genre goes, there aren't many better than the Candyman series.
In short, the Candyman was a slave in the antebellum south who made the mistake of having an affair, or at least being accused of having an affair with a white woman. He was hunted down, had his had cut off, lynched and allowed to be stung to death by bees. He died but has now come back to get his vengeance 120 years later.
If you stand near a mirror and say Candyman 3 times, he will appear and impale you with the hook he has instead of the cut off hand.
As with most of that genre of movie, people test the theory and say Candyman three times with cutting results.
Lord knows, when I first saw Candyman, I didn't want to stand near a mirror for quite some time ;)
Candyman, Candyman, Candyman
I can't watch scary movies like that BUT last April the Candyman was at the comic con and he was still looking very intimidating - wow - was he in shape. It was kinda neat.
