Licensed Half-Chapter Idea: Candyman

Hello hello, I really REALLY want Candyman around as a killer in the game! I actually want it to be based around the 2021 Requel too! (Though it would be just as ok to have it based on the 1992 movie too)

If you haven’t seen the new Candyman movie then consider this a heavy SPOILER ALERT for the 2021 Candyman movie!

If you have seen it though, then please let me know what you think of this killer concept for Candyman!

Killer: The Candyman

Name: Daniel Robitaille/Sherman Fields/Anthony McCoy

Aliases:  Sweet, Hive 

Gender: Male 

Nationality: African American

Realm: none 

Power: Urban Legend 

Weapon: Hooked Hand

Speed: 4.6/115 

Terror Radius: 32 Meters/Lullaby(Buzzing Bees): 16 Meters

Appearance: 

Background 

Stories always start somewhere and over time they may change…such as the original story of Daniel Robitaille, a son of a slave and a talented artist who fell in love with the daughter of wealthy family. When the girl’s family found out of their love, the girl’s father went a lynching mob to mutilate and kill Daniel. This was the original story of Candyman, a story of violence, racism and injustice. But overtime his story change throughout the years. While some parts remain the same; hook hand, bees, saying his name five times in the mirror, etc., many other parts of the story changed. Such as when the Story was changed to Sherman Fields, a friendly man with a prosthetic hook hand who use to give candy out to the neighborhood children. That is until he was wrongfully accused of hiding razor blades in the candy. He was brutalized and murdered by the police and Sherman was reborn as part of the Candyman story. Then the day came when Anthony McCoy learned about the urban legend of Candyman and over time grew so obsessive over the legend that he soon joined the ranks of the Urban Legend. With some much violence and rage place into one spectral being, it didn’t take long for The Entity to summon the Candyman and offer a way to keep his legend going forever and ever. It didn’t matter if it was Daniel, or Sherman or Anthony or anyone else, his legend will live on. 

Weapon: Hooked Hand 

A nasty, bloody hook use to shed innocent blood. The Candyman watches the blood drip from the hook as a bee crawls out from his sleeve, crawl around the hook before disappearing back into the sleeve. 

Power: Urban Legend 

Strike fear and belief into your congregation. 

(The Legend’s Realm is a sub-realm that The Candyman only has access to. It looks similar to The Entity’s realm, but everything is tinted with a glossy grey, almost like a reflective shine) 

Candyman walks through the Legend’s Realm, making him Undetectable and invisible to survivors. However, survivors can hear a non-directional sound of buzzing bees when within 16 meters of The Candyman while he is in the Legend’s Realm. 

Special Ability: Manifest 

To attack survivors, Candyman must manifest himself out of his world. Takes 1.25 seconds to Manifest or De-Manifest himself. Doing so will remove his lullaby and remove his Undetectable status. Candyman is able to manifest or de-manifest himself at any time.

Special Attack: Spectral Bees

While in the Legend’s Realm, Candyman is able to see a Faith Meter on survivors. If their Faith meter becomes too low, Candyman is able to unleash Spectral Bees onto survivors. The Bees will cause effects similar to Madness, but on a smaller scale. Will see Illusionary Candyman and fake Red Stains. Bees will also crawl along the sides of the screen. Survivors will be inflicted with the Incapacitated status and will remain until the bees have been removed (either by using the mirrors or being downed by Candyman) 

Special Ability: Mirrors. 

When Candyman is in a trial, 10 mirrors will appear in a trial. Using these mirrors, Survivors can perform a Chant, saying Candyman’s name five times (takes 10 seconds). Doing this will increase their Faith meter and remove any spectral bees from them. Interacting with a mirror will reveal the aura of the mirror and if Candyman is within 16 meters of the mirror, he can instantly teleport to that mirror , breaking out through it to attack survivors. The mirror will be some unusable until a new one respawns in its place (45 seconds). If all mirrors become broken before they respawn, all will be instantly replaced with new mirrors. 

“Be. My. Victim.” 

Perks: Writings on the Walls, Forbidden and Innocent Blood

Writings on the Wall: The sweet smell of blood in the air. Snuffing out a boon totem will block all dull and hex totems for 4/8/12 seconds. The survivor who placed the boon totem will cry out and reveal their location for 2 seconds. Blocked totems will be highlighted white. 

“Tell everyone” -Candyman 

Forbidden: Inflict the most exquisite pain. You become obsessed with one survivor. If any other survivor works on the same generator your obsession is currently working on, the survivor will suffer from the Blindness and Oblivious status for 24/36/48 seconds. Your obsession’s aura is revealed for 10 seconds. As a cool down of 30 seconds. 

“That’s When I Saw The True Face Of Fear.” - William Burke

Innocent Blood: What is blood for if not for shedding? After hitting a survivor 3/2/1 times this perk activates. The killer is able to inflicted the Hindered and Mangled status for 45 seconds when hitting the survivor with a basic attack. Has a cool down of 30 seconds. 

“With my hook for a hand, I'll split you from your groin to your gullet. I came for you.” -Candyman

Mori Killing: Candyman chuckles as he disappears from view. The survivor slowly stands, looking around cautiously for Candyman. The camera zooms in on their front as they suddenly gasp and begin to cough up blood. Candyman rises from behind them, his hook dug deep into their back and wrenching it up their spine as they scream in pain and gurgle blood. Eventually Candyman yanks his hook out of their back and they collapse dead in his arms.

There we go! What do you guys think of my concept for Candyman? I really like the idea Daniel, Sherman, and Anthony as three separate skins for Candyman! I wanted a way to incorporate some kind of madness for Candyman cuz that’s a big part in the original and requel movies! Let me know what you think!
