Candyman Trailer Breakdown: 5 Ups & 3 Downs

Up - Helen’s Theme

One aspect of the original movie is the music. Neo-classical master, Philip Glass, created an emotive, yet dark score which both made audiences fearful of The Candyman, as well as intrigued by his allure.

While it is undisclosed in the trailer whether Glass is returning, the first part of the trailer pays homage to the main track throughout the first movie - Helen’s theme.

It complements the exterior shots well. The pristine white church, which remains bordered up, then with a flashback from its condition in the early 90s acknowledges the original movie well.
