Watch This Before You See Candyman

The new Candyman movie may indeed be the fourth installment of the horror franchise, but in many ways, it's the movie fans have been waiting for since the release of the first film back in 1992. And boy, have they been waiting. Originally slated for release in June 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the release date back repeatedly. But it does seem that the Nia DaCosta-directed flick will finally hit theaters August 27, 2021.

For the uninitiated, the Candyman films tell the story of a terrifying urban legend who can be summoned by saying his name repeatedly into a mirror. Embedded in that horror tale are themes of race, class, and gentrification in Chicago. What else do you need to know going in? Watch this before you see Candyman.
