Type #Candyman 5 Times Into Twitter to Watch a Sneak Peek

Jordan Peele, producer and co-writer of 2020's Candyman, found a clever way to release the new movie's first teaser, playing on the film's legend of saying "Candyman" five times to summon the hook-handed killer. As noted by Mashable, Peele revealed Twitter users can post a tweet that includes "#Candyman" five times to have the sneak peek sent directly to their feed. The six-second teaser features our first look at Candyman's infamous hook, as well as a blood-curdling scream from star Teyonah Parris (WandaVision). [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix&captions=true"] Peele's Candyman will be a "spiritual sequel" to Clive Barker's 1992 original. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman, HBO's Watchmen) stars alongside Parris and Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead). Original Candyman actor Tony Todd is reportedly returning for the 2020 film, according to Bloody Disgusting, though it's unclear in what capacity. Nia DaCosta (Little Woods), who co-wrote the script alongside Peele and Win Rosenfeld, is directing. "The original was a landmark film for black representation in the horror genre," Peele said when the film was announced in 2018. "Alongside Night of the Living Dead, Candyman was a major inspiration for me as a filmmaker — and to have a bold new talent like Nia at the helm of this project is truly exciting." Candyman hits theaters on June 12.
