Story Synopsis:
Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh is Clive Barker’s horror saga with yet more disturbing vengeance. “Candyman” (Tony Todd) picks up where he left off with his agenda of brutal slayings. The horror began a 100 years ago when the Candyman was mutilated by an angry crowd and stung to death by killer bees. Now, during the flamboyant Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Candyman is back with his signature hook for a hand, to destroy the descendants of those who inflicted his unfortunate fate. But for the Candyman to unleash his fury his victims must look into a mirror and repeat his name four times: “Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman...” This sequel was hailed by critics of the genre as “richer and scarier than the original.” No doubt, it is.
