Candyman Explained

Ok so Candyman was actually created by Clive Barker in a short story called The Forbidden. This piece was part of a book series by the british author called ‘TheBooks Of Blood.’ There are over six volumes, all containing different stories and works. Several of them have been adapted into live-action films including Rawhead Rex, The Lord Of Illusions, Quicksilver Highway and many more.

However, The Forbidden or rather Candyman as it would later come to be known in it’s on-screen depiction is by far the most famous of the stories.

The short story follows Helen, a university student that is in the process of writing a thesis on Graffiti. After she discovers some that makes reference to an urban legend known as The Candyman. The locals in the area refuse to discuss what this means and she begins to investigate what’s really going on which leads to her becoming a victim of the character.

The film itself roughly follows this framework but it adds a lot to the work and changes up several elements of it, especially the ending.



In the book the character was described as smelling like candy floss and his race, origin story and the mentioning of his name in a mirror were also absent.

Instead in the original source material, just doubting that he existed after learning of him caused the character the come forth.

We know how things have changed since then and the villain was massively fleshed out in the film adaptation.

The first film is great and I was expecting it to have aged poorly but after rewatching it recently I must say that I did enjoy it. Whilst the other entries differ in quality I definitely recommend that you go and check it out if you’re at all interested in the film.

It will get you fully up to speed with the new release and it also hints at what could be happening in that.

The trailer for Candyman showcases that the movie follows photographer Anthony McCoy as he begins to unearth the legend of the titular character.

Now Anthony is actually the baby Anthony from the first film all grown up and similar to how Helen became part of the legend, he may have too. The movie also features his mother played by the same actress who really hasn’t aged. Maybe she’s her own legend.

The movie is also set to the backdrop of the gentrification of Chicago.

Gentrification is basically a process in which a run down neighbourhood is rebuilt and repurposed through the influx of more middle class businesses and residents.
