053 - Candyman (1992) & Urban Legend (1998)

It's Creepy Pasta Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey review two films focused on modern folklore! First up is Clive Barker's Candyman from 1992, a movie both Chris & Kelsey had seen before and didn't expect to enjoy so much this time around! Who can mix Freddy Kruger's fear-based strength, Hellraiser's eloquent and hypnotic antagonists, and the People Under the Stairs' social themes? The Candyman can! Then it's on to Urban Legend from 1998, a movie Chris was so excited about that he managed to talk about just about everything else but it! This Scream-wannabe lacks much of the charm of its predecesor, but does its nostalgia factor hold it up?
