Looks like the trend in resurrecting classic horror flicks continues as the marketing campaign for Nia DaCosta’s Candyman kicked off today. Fans of the original film series received a teaser trailer and a gorgeous poster, slicked with bees and honey, to go with the announcement that the official trailer is coming this Thursday! We also got a release date, folks! Mark your calendars for June 12th, 2020 and prepare to be hooked.

Co-written and produced by Jordan Peele, this Candyman is described as a “spiritual squeal” or an ode to the 1992 classic, which is set to take place in the very neighborhood where the legend began; the now-gentrified section of Chicago where the Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood.

The teaser gives viewers a first look at the new cast breaking the golden rule of uttering Candyman’s name. The cast features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Colman DomingoTeyonah Parris and the original Candyman himself, Tony Todd!

Check out the teaser below and be sure to check back here Thursday for the full trailer!
