* ValuesResonance: The themes of racial injustice, with Candyman being the victim of racial prejudice and the residents of Cabrini-Green living in poverty while being ignored and discriminated by the police and broader society, still feel very relevant to a modern audience as anti-black racism has only become more of a hot-button issue since the movie came out.

** [[https://youtu.be/GdPvnKEJYi8?si=Hsb5gjaFvxIpcSLt Helen's Theme]], which plays over the end credits and is a recurring leitmotif for her, is particularly haunting with a lonesome piano score eventually being joined by a gothic choir.

* FauxSymbolism: ''Candyman'' explores the concept of religion, specifically the idea that Man created God. When a local gang [[spoiler: is exposed committing crimes and violence as "The Candyman"]], the being in question ends up actually showing up to reinforce the [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly community's belief in him]] through HumanSacrifice. The Candyman's lair resembles a decaying, moulded church and he sleeps on a concrete bed reminiscent of an Altar. It overlaps with SmiteMeOMightySmiter, given that stupid people keep activating the summoning ritual in an effort to prove Candyman doesn't exist. It doesn't end well.
