Candyman: Day of the Dead

Candyman: Day of the Dead takes place in a Latino neighborhood of Los Angeles as the Day of the Dead approaches. Caroline McKeever is an artist and gallery worker who is a distant descendant of the man known as Candyman, and she becomes increasingly haunted by nightmares tied to his legend. As people close to her die violently, she is drawn into a confrontation with the supernatural figure, who wants her to join him willingly; her refusals carry a price for those around her.

The film is the third installment in the Candyman series, following the original 1992 film and its 1995 sequel, and it was directed by Turi Meyer from a screenplay he wrote with Alfredo Septién. Tony Todd returns as Candyman, also known as Daniel Robitaille, while Donna D'Errico plays Caroline and Alexia Robinson, Mike Moroff, Mark Adair-Rios and Jsu Garcia appear in supporting roles.

Released in the summer of 1999, the film runs 93 minutes and was produced by Artisan Entertainment and Aurora Productions. It received a critics' rating of 3 out of 10 from 15 reviews, while audiences gave it 3.9 out of 10 on IMDb from around 8,500 votes and 4.6 out of 10 on TMDB from 281 votes. The similar scores suggest that neither critics nor viewers found it especially effective, placing it among the weaker entries in the series.
