you say that, buuuut
Blumhouse 3 commercial:
-Person with a hook appearing in a parking garage
-Antagonist appears in the elevator
Meanwhile in Candyman...
-Candyman appears to Helen physically for the first time in parking garage (1992)
-Candyman appears in the mirrored ceiling of the elevator (2021)
Obviously this could be a total coincidence, since both of those setups are kinda tropes on their own, but given the fact that Candyman was rumored for such a long time, and was rumored to have been replaced by Blumhouse at some point down the line, it doesn't feel unreasonable that they could have just kept the skeleton of the announcement video and changed the rest.
Either way, not super excited about this, but I also haven't seen either movie it features, so maybe when I eventually get around to them it'll change my mind.
LOL... No. This is how rumors get turned into truths. You don't have to like that Blumhouse is coming, but let's not start creating a false narrative to explain it.
Have you seen Freaky? One of the main weapons of choice is a hook. It also features nods to a ton of horror films.
And last time I checked - Candyman doesn't wear a stylish reddish-brown jacket like the Butcher from Freaky is wearing...
C'mon now. I'm telling you, Candyman was never happening. I don't know why it was on the Spec map for so long but Blumhouse was always happening.
