Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh is the sequel to Candyman, directed by Bill Condon and released in 1995.Coleman Tarrant, the father of New Orleans schoolteacher Annie Tarrant, is murdered while investigating the deaths of three men in a manner similar to the Candyman legend. One year later — and three years after the Candyman murders in Chicago — Professor Philip Purcell writes a book about the latter case. Candyman kills Purcell in a public bathroom following a book signing. Annie's brother, Ethan, is accused of Purcell's murder because of previous confrontations between the two over the subject. After one of Annie's students claims to have seen the Candyman, she tries to discredit the legend by invoking his name. Annie summons Candyman to New Orleans on the eve of Mardi Gras, where the killings begin in earnest.

Offing the Offspring
 Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh / int_27ab0123
comment
Offing the Offspring: More like offing the Great-Granddaughter. Candyman values loyalty to his legend above above all, even his own family. Thus, when Annie's mother Octavia rather explosively denies that Candyman even exists, he shows up and violently kills her for the slight, despite her never invoking him.

comment
Asshole Victim: Detective Levesque, who seems to be more interested in nailing a perp from the elite crowd than actually finding the real killer. Ties in with Tempting Fate, since he forced Ethan's face against the reflective interrogation mirror as he did the "Candyman" chant as a means of breaking him.

Berserk Button: When Candyman kills you it's either because you summoned him, got in the way of him trying to kill his summoner, or know how to stop him. However, if you happen to be related to him and bitterly deny his relation to you, he'll brutalize you. Octavia learned that the hard way.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Pam Carver, Levesque's partner, is much more focused on finding the actual murderer instead of blaming it on someone from the upper class. When she sees the video footage of Levesque's death, Pam can clearly see Ethan wasn't anywhere near Levesque as Levesque's body seemed to float in the air while his wounds apparently opened by themselves. With that in mind, she's able to allow Annie to get away from the other police officers after Octavia's killed, understanding Annie and her brother aren't the ones responsible for these deaths.

comment
Continuity Snarl: Purcell's exposition in the first movie stated that Candyman died at Cabrini Green, in Chicago. The sequel then establishes that he really lived and died in New Orleans. The fourth film fixes that problem by revealing that technically someone who BECAME a Candyman did die in Cabrini Green, just not the original.
