Candyman Official Trailer is Out, Here’s What To Watch Before You See it

Candyman (2020) is not a remake but a continuation of the story from the original 1992 film of the same name. Some may not have seen the film and currently, it is viewable on Netflix. While the original was good enough to get to more sequels, like many movie franchises the first one was the best.

It looks like Producer Jordan Peele recognizes that and has Director, Nia DaCosta bringing horror fans the iconic character Tony Todd made famous in the original to new fans. The original film is 28 years old, so if you want to do your homework, the most required viewing of the film as it stands now is the original film from 92', since it seems to be revisiting current day Chicago and where the projects of Cabrini Green once stood.

In a time where it seems remakes for horror seem bankable after the success of IT: Chapter Two (2019) Revisiting where it all started is a nice take on an original story that came at a time in horror where Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kruger, and Michael Myers were the kings of horror. While the sequels Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh (1995), and Candyman 3: Day of the Dead (1999) gave some more background into the history of where Candyman comes from, his whole premise is making doubters believe he exists.
