Candyman Director Nia DaCosta shares a surreal new teaser for the upcoming film that pays homage to the original horror flick. DaCosta also shared the following note:

“CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been.”

Jordan Peele Wants You To Conjure CANDYMAN

Saying his name will make him appear and that’s when the horror begins. Helen found out the hard way in the 1992 horror film Candyman. The film followed the protagonist studying the urban legend of a man with a hook for a hand as he tormented the lives of the Cabrini-Green housing project in Chicago. Fast forward to 2020 and Jordan Peele wants you to feed Candyman’s blood thirst by saying his name 5 times.

Jordan Peele is steadily becoming the ‘it’ man when it comes to crafting a credible horror movie as he’s seen much success with his first two films: Get Out and Us.
