Candyman(1992)
Probably one of the more infamous stories from our childhood was the tale of Candyman. It seems like we were all scared of Candyman! And even if we didn’t think or know if he was real or not, we weren’t looking in the mirror and saying his name 3 times in a row to find out.
His House
Although it hasn’t been released at the time of this post, it played a part in the idea to put this list together. The Netflix film hits the platform on October 30, just in time for Halloween. This movie is a tale about a young Sudanese couple trying to settle down in a small English town with some evil secrets they are not prepared for. Lovecraft Country’s Wunmi Mosaku, stars next to Sope Dirisu and Matt Smith.
