What is the story of the scary Candyman?
The 1992 movie Candyman (starring Virginia Madsen and Tony Todd) was based on a short story by Clive Barker, called "The Forbidden," which was published in a collection of Barker's short stories called In the Flesh. The plot of the movie and the plot of the short story are fundamentally the same: the main character Helen starts poking around this housing project for poor people (in the movie, she is researching urban folklore, but in the story she is researching graffiti art). She starts hearing rumors about a murderer with a hook for a hand, and she becomes too curious for her own good. The book is available for purchase (as is the movie) on amazon.com. I have included a link to the page where you can buy the book.
