PRIMEIRA PESSOA A FALAR (ORIGEM DO FILME) Andreza

The legend The Forbidden is part of the book: Blood Books, which is a collection of
tales of fiction and horror written by Clive Barker, who is British. The chapter that speaks of
this tale is the fifth. Thus, the book was published in 1984. In this sense, The Tale the
Forbidden was adapted for the cinema in 1992 as Candyman.

The legend says that in 1890, Candyman was the son of a black slave who
accumulated a small fortune making machines to sew shoes. Candyman, who possessed an
excellent artistic gift, was hired by a farmer to paint a picture depicting the virginal beauty of
his daughter, and made her pregnant.

SEGUNDA PESSOA A FALAR

Furious, the girl's father paid rent killers to kill him. His master and his servants, after
beating and chasing Candyman to the village of Cabrini Green, tie him, cut off his hand and
smear him with honey, so that several bees take his body and prick him in the sweet. After this
Candyman has his body burned and the ashes scattered throughout the village of Cabrini
Green.

TERCEIRA PESSOA A FALAR

From this tragedy the legend is formed that Candyman, that tormented soul now with a
hook in place of the lost hand and still being attacked by the insects, returns from the beyond
every time someone performs the ritual of pronouncing his name five times in the Front of a
mirror.

QUARTA PESSOA A FALAR

In the movie, an anthropologist Helen Lyle , who is working on a graduate thesis on

Urban Legend, will visit a deprived community of Cabrini Green, a housing estate in
suburban Chicago, where she hears people whispering stories About Candyman; These relate
to the myth of Candyman, a supernatural apparition of a terrible spirit of a slave, a vindictive
ghost who uses a hook in his hand and who when disturbed (through evocation) awakens his
anger over who disturbed his rest, using the hook to Kill the people who invoke him, and
cause terror to all who believe in the legend.

QUINTA PESSOA A FALAR (DESFECHO)

Candyman always appears when someone says, in front of a mirror, five times the
word "Candyman". The anthropologist performs the ritual and draws hell into her life and her
sanity. The legendary ghost appears, to his surprise, and initiates a series of horrible murders,
systematically killing the people, but it incriminates it. Candyman kills Helen, who after death
may return, if someone invokes, following the same steps of Candyman.
