Welcome to our Halloween Bonus Episode! Candyman was the feared urban legend that would come to life. By saying his name five times, while looking in the mirror, you could summon him. But why would you want to? He is a most vengeful and diabolical spirit that will appear to you with a large hook in place of what was once his hand. What he does with that hook…. let’s just say it’s gruesome. This is obviously fiction, but with every fiction, there is a grain of truth. And sometimes, the truth is just as terrifying. What is little known, is that the movie Candyman was inspired by a real-life, tragic horror story. And what is it about mirrors???
