Where to start with Candyman

Release order works, but there is a shorter route. The 2021 film is a direct sequel to the 1992 original and simply proceeds as though the two sequels in between were never made, so you can take either path.

  1. 1
    Candyman (1992) Candyman

    Adapted from a Clive Barker story set on an English estate and moved to Cabrini-Green, which is where the character's meaning comes from. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Candyman (2021) Candyman

    Set twenty-seven years later in the same neighbourhood after the towers came down, and written as though the 1992 film is the only one that happened. It works straight off the original.

  3. 3
    Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh

    The first sequel, moving to New Orleans and filling in the character's family history. It is optional in the sense that the 2021 film ignores it, but it is a real continuation of the first.

Then what? Day of the Dead follows Farewell to the Flesh and went straight to video, and it is the one nobody defends. So the two honest routes are the full four in release order, or just the 1992 and 2021 films, which is the story the newest one thinks it is telling.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
