About a director coming to hollywood and makeing a horror movie based on the candyman murders than the real Candyman shows up and starts to slaughter the cast and crew of the movie and Kari Wuhrer( "Anaconda" ) should be the main star playing herself ala Wes Cravens "New Nightmare" and rapper turned actor Coolio should be in it also playing himself but will die at the hands of Candyman.What are your ideas ?

Candyman 4 should be a prequal showing and elaborating on the flashbacks,the affair between Daniel Robintile and Caroline Sullivan leading up to the events of part 1.

You HAVE seen scream 3 dude, that was the worst of the scream trilogy. If i had to pick a plot for candyman 4 it would be candyman on something like a cruise liner and a person saying Candyman in the mirror and he being there and killing people and there being some plot twist at the end but i dont know what.
Actor should be like hmmmmm..... i dunno.

You already know what made him into a killer: Being tortured and killed by a lynch mob for sleeping with a prominant white woman; there was nothing evil about him until this happened. These events were already covered via flashbacks in Candyman 2 and only took up a few minutes of screen time. There is no reason to tell a story that has already been told.

I am in agreement that there should not be another Candyman movie, since there is really nothing more that can be done with this storyline.

personally though, i really like the idea of a prequel, set in the old times in the deep south, in the swamp and bayou...sufficiently creepy and I think it'd be awesome if they elaborated on the story, then focused on what happened in the years immediately following his murder. Did farewell to the flesh elaborate on the connection between candyman and having his name said in mirrors?

wow you're just as original as hollywood

Nah... The 4th part should be set on Haiti: An old priestess summons the ghost of the Candyman to take revenge for injustice done. It should be revealed that Daniel Robitaille was born on Haiti and taken away as a slave. There could be a lot of voodoo magic and zombies and stuff... that would rock, wouldn't it?

Or this: Robitaille has had enough of the revenge business and becomes a superhero! He helps some kids in a bad neighborhood to develop self esteem and finish school! He also fights against a drug dealer who terrorizes all the good people - maybe he should be played by Snoop Dogg? (I remember a pretty neat flick with some kind of ghost pimp...)

Candyman 4: Tony Todd will do anything for money.

How about a prequel

How about a fun sorority slasher flick? As part of initiation, seven sorority girls (Katherine, Morgan, Allison, Sarah, Molly, Diora, and Kelly) are told to sneak into Cabrini Green and say Candyman five times in the mirror. Kelly is killed, the others escape. They decide not to tell anyone what they saw, because they know what happened to Helen Lyle sixteen years ago. Although they feel extreme amounts of guilt and fear, they decide to go through with a party hoping it would help them get their minds off things. Unfortunately for them, Candyman crashes the party and kills the girls one by one. Soon, Katherine discovers that she is another descendent of Daniel Robitaille, and the only way she can save her remaining friends is to sacrifice herself.

Does that sound fun or what?
