Jordan Peele is remaking the 1992 horror classic “Candyman” – and now fans are getting a first look. The official trailer for the MGM and Universal Pictures flick has dropped, telling the story of an artist fixated on a hook-handed killer dubbed the “Candyman.”
“The urban legend is, if you say his name five times while looking in the mirror, he appears in the reflection and kills you,” star Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIsays in the trailer. “I’m hoping to spread the story – the mirror invites you to summon him.”
“Candyman” hits theaters on June 12th. Check out the horrifying trailer – it manages to make Destiny Child’s hit “Say My Name” just as terrifying as the hooked killer himself.
