Candyman Limited Edition 4K UHD
'Candyman' Director: Bernard Rose (1992) Arrow Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD
Dare you say his name five times? From the chilling imagination of horror master Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Nightbreed).
When a grad student begins working on a thesis about urban legends, she comes across the terrifying tale of the Candyman – a vengeful, hook-handed spirit who can be summoned by saying his name five times in the mirror. As her research leads her into the bowels of Chicago's deprived housing projects and deeper into the Candyman's world, Helen learns that some legends are best left well alone.
Boasting an astounding score by composer Philip Glass, Candyman ingeniously reworks Clive Barker's original short story "The Forbidden" (originally published as part of his groundbreaking Books of Blood series) into a modern horror parable that remains as timely today as ever.
