Candyman - The True Story

If you’ve seen the 1992 horror movie Candyman or its 2021 reboot, you might be shocked to learn that this story was inspired – at least in part – by real events. Although it’s true that the script was heavily influenced by a short story written by Clive Baker, director Bernard Rose took the tale and ran with it. Not only did he “Americanize” the story by moving it from Liverpool to Chicago, but he also wrote the script during a time when a thoroughly disturbing news story was sweeping through the Windy City.
