Just when you thought it was safe to stare into a mirror with the lights off and say some spooky ghost's name five times! ...wait a minute... okay, bad example, but Candyman is still (blog post) an interesting example of the urban legend genre, in that it is a recognizable tale (blog post) while at the same time an original one. Also, personally I find Candyman less scary and more... cuddly? Those baby bees horror movies are so cute!
