‘Candyman’ Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Packed With Extras

Amidst talks that a Candyman reboot could be moving forward in the near future, Shout Factory unveiled their comprehensive special features that will be available on their Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release of the original film. Check out the special features below before the film lands on Blu-ray on November 20th.

“This 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 who is said to haunt a notorious housing project, she thinks she has a new twist for her thesis. Braving the gang-ridden territory to visit the site, Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can’t really exist … until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. But the police don’t believe in monsters, and charge Helen with the crimes. And the only one who can set her free is Candyman.”
