Candyman (1992)

Based on the short story The Forbidden by Clive Barker, Candyman follows a Chicago graduate student whose thesis revolves around urban legends, including “Candyman”, the ghost of an artist and son of a slave who was murdered in the late 1800s. Candyman not only addresses themes of race and social class, but it also is considered a contemporary classic of horror cinema.
