“Candyman ain’t a he. Candyman is the whole damn hive.”

Nia DaCosta‘s new take on Clive Barker’s Candyman is still set to arrive in theaters on September 25, 2020, and a new teaser clip was unleashed onto Twitter over the weekend.

DaCosta recently tweeted, “Candyman, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been.” The new teaser clip, which runs 30-seconds long, stresses that timely importance of her new take on the tale, and you can give it a watch down below.

And yup, that sure seems to be Tony Todd‘s voice at the end. Todd’s likeness also appears in this latest bit of marketing, featured in a painting that we’ve screen-grabbed above.

Candyman comes from producer Jordan Peele, who co-wrote the film with Win Rosenfeld.

“For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.”

“With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.”

Alongside Peele, Win Rosenfeld and Ian Cooper produced for Monkeypaw Productions.
