Say His Name 5 times… and brace yourself for Candyman, the supernatural horror–slasher film series. Pulled from the 1985 short story “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker, about the legend of the “Candyman“, about the ghost of an artist who was murdered. The original Candyman 1992 movie, was about the legend of well-known painter, Daniel Robitaille, who was murdered by a lynch mob. The mob cut off his right hand and smeared him with honeycomb stolen from an apiary, attracting bees that stung him to death which explains the hook, bees and vengeful anger. This vintage-style Candyman Say it 5 Times t-shirt is perfect for staring in the mirror before you say HIS name.
