What happens

Candyman 3: Day of the Dead (titled onscreen as simply Candyman: Day of the Dead) is a 1999 American supernatural horror film directed by Turi Meyer and starring Tony Todd and Donna D'Errico. It is the third installment in the Candyman series, and a direct sequel to the 1995 film Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh. Its plot follows Caroline, the daughter of Annie Tarrant and a descendant of Candyman, the powerful spirit of Daniel Robitaille, the murdered son of a slave who kills those who invoke him. Caroline finds herself targeted by Candyman on the eve of the Day of the Dead. Unlike the first two installments, the film did not get a theatrical release and was instead released direct-to-video on July 9, 1999. It was followed by a fourth film in 2021, titled Candyman, a direct sequel to the original 1992 film set between the events of Farewell to the Flesh and Day of the Dead, which returns the storyline to Chicago, Illinois.
