Candyman (1992)



Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman,.......I can't do it.
I am neither a fan of Clive Barker or John Carpenter.  I put them in the same vein of movie makers.  But, I will say, I liked this movie.  I thought it was well thought out and not just a story to justify some gorey freakfest of images.  The story had turns and never let on to where it was going to go.  It is dated of course, but you can't blame that on the movie.  It is actually based on a somewhat true story of a killer who would pop out of people's medicine cabinets in an apartment building in Chicago.  I liked this movie and suggest it for any Halloween movie fest.  I do think its funny that they have Sam Raimi's brother as a smoldering bad boy.
