We continue our series of re-told Democrat horror stories taken from the news headlines. Today, we re-tell the story of Candyman. The story is based on the Clive Barker short story, 'The Forbidden'.
The 1992 movie starred Tony Todd (in the title roll) and Virginia Madsen. In the film version, Candyman is the ghost of a Black artist named Daniel Robitaille, who was lynched by a group of rich, White men when it was learned that the had an affair with one of their daughters.
The men chopped off his right hand, and smeared honeycomb resin on Daniel, attracting bees that stung him to death.
To residents of Chicago's impoverished, high-crime Cabrini-Green housing project, he is an urban legend. They see him as a boogyman. Anyone who looks into the mirror and says 'Candyman' five times summons him, and he usually kills them. Candyman brutally slashes his victims with a bloody hook where his right hand used to be.
Virginia Madsen portrays a graduate student working on a thesis who becomes fascinated with this urban legend. She makes the mistake of looking into her mirror, saying his name.
In our re-telling of 'Candyman', we change the setting to Minneapolis. In the 1992 film version, Candyman is a 19th century artist killed because he fell in love with a White woman and was lynched, while our version moreless starts with the death of George Floyd (his name has been changed to Leroy Young), a drug addicted career criminal who overdosed from fentanyl .
A policeman was convicted of murdering him, kneeling on the back of Floyd's neck, until he lost consciousness. He was transported to the hospital, but died. It is here we begin our story:
Black gangs are rioting all over the city, and minority-owned businesses are burned to the ground. Troublemakers from outside the city are invading homes and threatening entire neighborhoods. Many stores are looted, and destroyed. Society is crumbling.
Leroy Young's spirit is possessing hundreds of rioters as they destroy buildings. In the riot aftermath, he becomes the official religion of the extremely liberal city.. Some 'protesters' make angelic portraits of Leroy, depicted as an angelic figure. Several 'autonomous zones' are set up, patrolled by violent Black drug gangs.
The White residents of these neighborhoods are terrified and intimidated. Many leave. A Black man brutally shoots a 7-year-old White boy's face, killing him. The slogan 'Black Lives Matter' appears on businesses, and graffiti is everywhere.
One young, White mother has the nerve of telling protesters that 'All Lives Matter,' and she is shot to death.
Possesed College professors and primary school teachers pray to a painting of Leroy Young, and they brainwash the young with Critical Race Theory. 5-year-old White children are berated for their skin color..
One intrepid White female news reporter digs for the truth, and tells her viewers the real story every nigh, but nobody believes her. She is laughed at by her colleagues. So far, she has concluded that Black gangs and 'teachers' have summoned Leroy Young into our realm, and many criminals are possessed by his spirit.
Leroy appears in the prison cell of the police officer convicted in his murder, and hangs him. The next day, it is agreed by everyone in the news media the convicted cop hung himself.
Our intrepid reporter, Emily Newton, wants the truth, so she decides to enter the most dangerous autonomous zone in the most dangerous part of town. Three gang members let her in, and one tells her to be gone in an hour.
She summons Leroy Young, also known as Fentanylman. She looks into the eyes in the painting, and he appears. He doesn't mind telling her that he is not really Leroy Young, but a demonic imposter named Verono.
He discloses the truth that Verono is the demon spirit of mistrust, hate, and racism, and that Satan wants America destroyed. He is using the death of Leroy Young to spread hate. Emily has a lighter and a small perfume container filled with lighter fluid. She sets fire to the portrait and prays, and the demon starts growling and screaming. Hornets fly out of his mouth. Finally, he explodes. Emily dies in the explosion.
She breaks Verono's spell, and race relations miraculously improves. The neighborhood comes together, and Emily is sainted by the people. Her liberal colleagues in the newsbiz sees her as a racist zealot, and the drug dealers target her family. The race-baiters see her as a demon.
Drug dealers come to kill her family, but the family is out for the night. She appears, and fire shoots from her fingertips, killing them.
The story ends with Blacks and Whites worshipping God together. The camera pans to the stained glass image of Saint Emily, hand-in-hand with a Black child and a White child.
Roll credits.
