In fact, the last Candyman movie, 1999’s Candyman: Day of the Dead came out to little fanfare.
So if the Candyman franchise is going to make a huge comeback, then it’s going to need to come back big.
Candyman is Candyman, and if the aforementioned three horror franchises are in the A-tier of horror, then Candyman is B-tier, or maybe even C-tier, hanging out with the likes of Chucky and Pinhead.
In that way, Candyman does not have the name recognition or already existing fanbase to make a huge splash, especially if it’s put directly to VOD.
