With the film's release date only a few days away, Universal Pictures has released the final trailer for Nia DaCosta's upcoming slasher Candyman. However, there's only one way to watch it on the film's official website. To unlock the new trailer on IDareYou.CandymanMovie.com, a viewer must use their computer's microphone and camera to summon Candyman by saying his name out loud five times.
As the trailers for the film would indicate, things usually don't turn out well for those who summon Candyman into their presence. A swarm of bees begins to appear on-screen during the process, growing larger with each progressive iteration. If you don't want to risk the killer appearing behind you, rest assured that the final trailer is composed of footage that has already been revealed.
Candyman is a direct sequel to the 1992 original of the same name. The film follows an artist and his girlfriend who move into a now-gentrified neighborhood that the supernatural killer Candyman once haunted. Once the two are exposed to the grim history of the area, they are drawn into the myth of Candyman as the community is thrown into violence.
Aquaman's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and WandaVision's Teyonah Parris star in Candyman, while Tony Todd and Vanessa Estelle Williams reprise their roles from the 1992 original. Jordan Peele serves as producer under his Monkeypaw Productions. Director DaCosta is already developing her follow-up to the slasher, as she has been tapped to helm The Marvels, the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel.
Candyman is set to hit theaters this Friday, August 27. For a sneak peek, check out this official clip of the movie.
