Candyman Plot

Helen Lyle is a graduate student conducting research for her thesis on urban legends. While interviewing freshmen about their superstitions, she hears about a local legend known as Candyman, the son of a slave who was brutally tortured and murdered because of a love affair with the daughter of a local (white) plantation owner. According to the legend, anyone who looks into a mirror and chants his name five times will summon him, but at the cost of his or her own life. Thinking this is just the new spin she has been looking for, Helen enters the notorious gang-ridden territory known as the Cabrini-Green housing projects (the site of Candyman's brutal murder). Helen believes that Candyman cannot exist, but when she calls him into our world a string of murders begins and the police look to her as the primary suspect. Candyman confronts Helen in a car park, where she is almost possessed by him. She then goes unconscious and awakes with a deep cut in her stomach from Candyman's hook. Now, only one person can set her free: Helen must fight Candyman to save her own life and those of others. Much like another of Clive Barker's creations, the Cenobites of the Hellraiser films, or the legend of "Bloody Mary", the Candyman must be called into existence, so often the deciding factor in a character's safety is his/her belief.
