Candyman. El dominio de la mente (1992)
En la Universidad de Chicago la estudiante graduada Helen Lyle se da cuenta de la superstición prevaleciente que rodea la leyenda de Candyman (un fantasma con un gancho en vez de mano que aparecerá si su nombre se dice cinco veces en un espejo) entre los arrendatarios del Cabrini del proyecto Verde de Chicago. El profesor, oyendo hablar de la investigación de Helen, explica la base histórica para la leyenda y detalla cómo se cree que Candyman es el espíritu vengativo de un esclavo que fue mutilado por una chusma enloquecida cuando se lo acusó de violar a una mujer blanca. Cuando Helen prueba su confianza intelectual recitando el nombre de Candyman cinco veces, ella pone en movimiento una serie inevitable de eventos sobrenaturales, culminando en una serie de matanzas espantosas en las que Helen sostiene el arma del asesinato. Aunque ella es capturada por la policía, se pone en evidencia para Helen que Candyman está guiando su destino.
