Not there anymore. Mixed cheers for "urban renewal."

Anyway, Candyman is an okay movie in my book. I watched it by myself at night and it freaked me out. Didn't do much for me the second time around, however.

Good and scary.

Tony Todd is going to be at this year's horrorfind convention. I can't wait to meet him.

Not that scary (more atmospheric), but still a pretty good movie.

If you're terrified of big black men with sharp hooks...you're in luck.


Good movie and sequel too.

I think the CANDYMAN movies are awesome (1 & 2 at least...3 was terrible)... if you want to see a great, fresh horror flick, the first movie is perfect, and if you just want lots of mindless carange, Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh is perfect.

I would avoid part 3 like the plauge... I'd love to be able to get my hands on the rights on Candyman...I'd love to direct Candyman 4.

I wonder what happened to ther carreer

Virginia Madsen starred in Candyman, the next DVD I seen her in was a very small part in "The Haunting". Played the sister with the smart ass kid, of the gal who co-starred in the 1999 remake of Shirley Jacksons "Haunting of Hill House".

I rank the Candyman series right up there with the Darkman series... the originals were pretty good, but the more sequels they made, the lamer they got...
