"From the chillling imagination of Clive Barker, the original Candyman has become a cult favorite among fans. The gut-wrenching thriller follows a graduate student whose research summons the spirit of the dead! When Helen Lyle... hears about Candyman... , a slave spirit with a hook hand said to haunt a notorious housing project, she braves the gang-ridden area to visit the site. Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist--until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. The police refuse to believe Helen's story and charge her with the crimes. Now the only one who can set her free is Candyman"--Container.
