Prepare to Scream: The Scariest Movies of All Time

Candyman

Candyman is a movie that fits a lot of themes into one concise package. A serial killer is terrorizing a low-income area of Chicago, but as it turns out, that serial killer isn't human, or even really interested in killing people. This movie digs more into the idea of systemic poverty as the ultimate crime, so much so that the socio-economic implications feel stronger than the murder itself.
