SEPTEMBER 1 – CANDYMAN (1992) *Movie Premiere*

• Urban legends tap into a college student’s greatest fears in Bernard Rose’s 1992 cult-classic film CANDYMAN (1992), streaming Wednesday, September 1 on STARZ. A prequel to the highly-anticipated Candyman (2021), released in cinemas this month, CANDYMAN (1992) is one of the first films to use the horror genre to discuss racism and segregation, with a legacy that has gone on to inspire films such as Jordan Peele’s Get Out. Skeptical graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen, Sideways) befriends Anne-Marie McCoy (Vanessa Estelle Williams, New Jack City) while researching superstitions in a housing project on Chicago’s Near North Side. From Anne-Marie, Helen learns about the Candyman (Tony Todd, FINAL DESTINATION), a knife-wielding figure of urban legend that some of her neighbours believe to be responsible for a recent murder. After a mysterious man matching the Candyman’s description begins stalking her, Helen comes to fear that the legend may be all too real.
