This one was released when I was already fourteen and not really scared by scary movies anymore. I saw this on video with a bunch of friends in high school. I remember having feelings of not wanting to be in a bathroom with the light off because of the legend that if you say his name five times in front of the mirror, he'll appear behind you and kill you with his claw hand.

By the time I was a teenager, I wasn’t so easily
frightened by scary movies. I remember watching Candyman on video with friends, but it didn’t leave enough of an
impression that I really remembered it 20 years later. Now that I’ve seen it
again I can safely say it has some chilling moments, but the overall effect of
the material is no all that resonant.
