While researching urban legends, Chicago semiotics graduate student Helen Lyle learns of the Candyman, a spirit who, when a person says his name five times to a mirror, appears and kills the summoner by using a hook attached to the bloody stump of his right arm. She is inspired to take on the project after learning about a woman named Clara who was murdered in her suburban home while babysitting. Helen also learns from two cleaning ladies that Ruthie Jean, a resident in the notorious Cabrini-Green housing project, is rumored to have been killed by the Candyman, and discovers there have been twenty-five similar murders in the area. Skeptical, Helen and her friend Bernadette Walsh repeat the Candyman’s name to Helen’s bathroom mirror, but nothing happens.Candyman 1992 full Movie Download In English,

She and Bernadette visit the scene of Ruthie Jean’s murder, where Helen discovers a room where apparent offerings have been left for the Candyman.

That evening, Helen and her husband Trevor have dinner with Professor Philip Purcell, an expert on the Candyman legend, who exposits that the Candyman, born in the late 1800s as the son of a slave, grew up to become a well-known artist who was highly sought after to paint portraits of wealthy whites. However, after he fell in love with and fathered a child with the daughter of one such family, her father sent a lynch mob after him. Once captured, they cut off his right hand and smeared him with honeycomb stolen from an apiary, attracting bees that stung him to death. His corpse burned in a pyre and his ashes scattered across the land on which Cabrini-Green was eventually built.
