The premise

Annie, a young schoolteacher struggling to solve the brutal murder of her father, unwittingly summons the "Candyman" to New Orleans, where she learns the secret of his power, and discovers the link that connects them.

Horror Vault's take

The Candyman's reign of terror moves from Chicago to the sultry, shadow-drenched streets of New Orleans, where a schoolteacher's search for answers about her father's murder pulls her dangerously close to the hook-handed legend. As bodies pile up and the city's dark history surfaces, she finds herself entangled in a connection to Candyman that runs far deeper than she ever imagined. Tony Todd returns with commanding menace, and the lush Gothic atmosphere of the French Quarter gives this sequel a distinctly eerie identity of its own.
