The 1992 film, is a story about the urban legend of the Candyman, who haunts the Cabrini Green housing project. Graduate student Helen Lyle is studying urban myths and is drawn to the housing project where she uncovers the real-life horrors of the Candyman and that the myth might not be an imaginary as she believed. The film has gone on to become one of the most beloved horror movies and a cult classic in its own right. The film covers a variety of topics, like poverty, crime, the history of slavery, and the white gaze.
