Candyman (1992) is still counted among the most popular horror movies of all time. Many years after its release, Candyman still sends chills down the spine of many fans. Despite the spookiness that the first film features, its two underwhelming sequels nearly ended the franchise.

However, Daniel Robitaille (Candyman) is back nearly 22 years after the third part of the series to give fans sleepless nights. Academy Award winner Jordan Peele has helmed the direct sequel to the 1992 horror feature.

Candyman: Cast, characters, and what to expect?

Since Candyman (1992) and Candyman (2021) are set 28 years apart, the latest part of the series will be a more modernized take on the character. Jordan Peele, known for directing Get Out and Us, is more than competent to adapt the legend of Candyman in today's context.
