It's Creepy Pasta Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey review two films focused on modern folklore!\n\nFirst up is Clive Barker's Candyman from 1992, a movie both Chris & Kelsey had seen before and didn't expect to enjoy so much this time around! Who can mix Freddy Kruger's fear-based strength, Hellraiser's eloquent and hypnotic antagonists, and the People Under the Stairs' social themes? The Candyman can!\n\nThen it's on to Urban Legend from 1998, a movie Chris was so excited about that he managed to talk about just about everything else but it! This Scream-wannabe lacks much of the charm of its predecesor, but does its nostalgia factor hold it up? \n\nAudio Sources:\n"Burns' Heir" (The Simpsons S05E18) produced by Gracie Films & 20th Century Fox Television\n"Candyman" produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, et al.\n"Christine" produced by Columbia Pictures, et al.\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\n"Sleepless in Seattle" produced by TriStar Pictures\n"Urban Legend" produced by Phoenix Pictures, et al.\n"Wicker Man" produced by Warner Bros., et al.\n"Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" produced by Wolper Pictures Ltd.
