“★★★★★ — At its heart, Candyman terrifies because of its ideas. It sinks its horrific foundations very much in the real world of poverty and racial alienation.” -Adam Smith, Empire

WE DARE YOU TO SAY HIS NAME FIVE TIMES. Haunting, intelligent and poetic, Bernard Rose’s legendary Candyman delivers a powerful social message through haunting, fantastical imagery, while still bringing the horror goods with hair-raising suspense, graphic shocks, and a chillingly seductive yet painfully human monster. Based on Clive Barker’s story “The Forbidden,” Candyman stars Virginia Madsen as a grad student researching urban legends, work which brings her to the decaying grounds of the Cabrini-Green projects in Southside Chicago where the spirit of a hooked-handed son of a slave, dubbed the “Candyman” (Tony Todd), wreaks havoc on those unfortunate souls who summon him in the mirror. Gory yet shockingly beautiful, Candyman is a singular achievement in thoughtful genre filmmaking and one of the finest horror films of the ’90s.

To get in the Halloween spirit, we’ll be handing out free candy before the film!
