Nia DaCosta’s Candyman is out on 4K UHD and Blu-ray today, and Universal Pictures’ package has over an hour of bonus features. Each version of the physical release includes a never-before-seen alternate ending, deleted and extended scenes, and special featurettes that take fans behind-the-scenes and dive deep into the film’s timely cultural commentary and timeless urban legend.
You can go ahead and say “Candyman‘s on Blu-ray” five times in the mirror, but we can’t promise you that a copy will appear before your eyes when you do. What we can deliver for you, though, is a clip exclusive to Dread Central that shows what’s in store in a bonus feature from the new release called “Body Horror.”
In this footage, stars Colman Domingo and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, movement consultant Madeline Hollander, and producer/co-writer Jordan Peele discuss how the film’s “hallway scene” was choreographed, and reflect on Candyman‘s complex relationship to the horror genre.
In the rest of this featurette, the cast and crew of Candyman explore the influences that DaCosta drew from the body horror subgenre, and how Anthony McCoy’s (Abdul-Mateen) physical transformation impacts the film’s story.
Here’s the rest of what you’ll find in the Candyman 4K UHD/Blu-ray release:
