This one scared me to death when I was younger too. The ending is absolutely haunting.

I wonder what ever happened to Helen.
You say her name five times and she also appears.

I remember when it first came out on VHS and me and my mom rented it. The part that scared me the most is when helen was in the bathroom and the hook smashed through the mirror. Ive never looked at a mirror again.

Candyman isn't like Freddy,Jason or Pinhead.
After watching part 1 and the way Candyman hypnotizes his victims,it reminds me a lot of Bela Lugosi's Dracula.I was watching the special features on the disc and Clive Barker also said that Candyman had the same personality like Dracula.They both are monsters and killers but they both want love.
I decided to watch Candyman 2 this evening and i can't believe how much it failed.The story is good,but the motivation wasn't there at all. Even Tony's performance as the candyman wasn't like the outstanding performance he did with part 1.The only thing farewell to the flesh delivered was the back story on candyman.The kills were amateurish.
I'm going to watch part 3 next,from what i remembered it wasn't as good either.

Sadly they got progressively worse. Such a shame.

I never understood how Candyman even came back in part 2.They never explained it, he just appeared.Me and my wife was talking about that.She said he doesn't need to "come back" because hes a ghost and already dead.So when he died in part 1 or better said defeated, all you have to do is call his name 5 times again.

Very true. In that he is similar to Freddy.They both need us to bring them back but you can't really get rid of them completely. I'd say Candyman has it easier. All it takes is one person to say Candyman 5 times and his power is restored.

I liked how Wishmaster had all those cameos from people, that was really nice to see, and the Djinn was an incredible character.
As for Candyman, I saw this SOOOO long ago. But I remember the scene where he's in the parking lot, and the camera shows that bloody trench coat sleeve, and that hook sliding down. That particular moments ALWAYS sticks out for me, but the rest of the movie is fuzzy as it has been YEARS since I have seen it.
Also, when I hear his name, I am reminded of that song in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
"The Candyman, can!"

You're right Kwik,That parking lot candyman scene was well acted.The atmosphere,voice and music score was perfect.
Something you won't find at all in the sequels. I saw candyman 3 the other night and that was worse than part 2.
Bad stories.They should have hired better script writers-It shows how Clive wasn't involved.Once you have tasted Clive Barkers Candyman you just can't settle for less,Sadly part 2 and part 3 failed.I'm hoping Clive can reclaim the candyman rights.Then part 4 could finally be worth watching.

Candyman 4 rumors with a little bit of Clive on top.
Set in New England in an all-girls college where a professor there is a descendant of Candyman, yet she doesn't know who or what he is.
Will this ever happen? According to Clive this new movie would dismiss part 2 and 3 and start where part 1 left off.As long as they make it as good as the first one-i'm all for it.

I hope they do make another one. Especially if Barker is involved.

If Clive isn't involved-It could stay dead. With out Clive the franchise isn't good-Part 1 being the only worthy candyman.If you want something done right,you have to do it yourself.
