Say his name five times and he will appear! Scream Factory has announced that it will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic Bernard Rose horror-thriller, CANDYMAN, with an all-new 4K/Blu-Ray release on May 24th. 

The release will come with a new 4K restoration of the original theatrical cut of the film, as well as a new interview with actress Vanessa Williams as well as audio commentary with writer/director Bernard Rose and actor Tony Todd.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

This gut-wrenching thriller follows a graduate student whose research summons the spirit of the dead! When Helen Lyle hears about Candyman, a slave spirit with a hook hand who is said to haunt a notorious housing project, she thinks she has a new twist for her thesis. Braving the gang-ridden territory to visit the site, Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist ... until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. But the police don't believe in monsters, and charge Helen with the crimes. And the only one who can set her free is Candyman.
