To close out our spooky weekend, come see the all time Horror classic Candyman (1992). Based on Clive Barker's short story "The Forbidden," the film follows a Chicago graduate student completing a thesis on urban legends and folklore, which leads her to the legend of the Candyman, the ghost of an African American artist and the son of a slave who was murdered in the late 19th century for his relationship with the daughter of a wealthy white man.
