Definitely a fan of Candyman. Grew up on horror and this was THE ONLY thing that could scare me. I would be scared to go to the bathroom after watching ???. Excited about the remake now that I’ve seen the trailer. Tony Follows me on Insta??
A remake will never do this classic JUSTICE. It’s perfect in every way.
I re-watched the original on Netflix a few weeks ago and that ish was STUPID. I don’t know how it scared so many people.
I’m just happy a black horror movie is receiving the FULL HOLLYWOOD treatment … because we never get this type of attention for our movies, especially our horror movies.
I’ll be watching!
