Just when you thought it was safe to stare into a mirror with the lights off and say some spooky ghost's name five times! ...wait a minute... okay, bad example, but Candyman is still an interesting example of (blog post) the urban legend genre, in that it is a recognizable tale while (blog post) at the same time sci-fi movies an original one. Also, personally I find Candyman less scary and more... cuddly? Those baby bees are so cute!
