Lol, I'm still scared to do it

reply

I'm not surprised - I used to work with a bodybuilder who also did debt collection on the side. Despite all my efforts and teasing he refused to do it.

Me and my BF watched this on Sat night. He had never seen it before. He threatened to do it after the movie but I lost it with him lol. Told him not to dare. I know its silly, but I just don't want to tempt fate with things like that

"What you don't like rice? Tell me Michael, how can a billion Chinese people be wrong?"

reply

I've still not been able to do it because although the Candyman might not appear (not yet proven) the psychological trauma might cause you to have an accident anyway.

reply

That's a very good point. Even if nothing happened I'd still be looking over my shoulder. I wouldn't even say bloody Mary in a mirror, that's supposed to be a famous urban legend

"What you don't like rice? Tell me Michael, how can a billion Chinese people be wrong?"

reply

I did both Candyman and Bloody Mary when I was depressed and feeling suicidal in my early 20's.

I would have never done anything to myself but I thought if I'm feeling hopeless, might as well see if those legends could possibly be true. I'm alive and I'm in a better place now. Then again I didn't stick around long enough in the dark to see if anything would happen.

Aha

No. And please erase that fifth "Candyman" from your post. Thanks a bunch.

reply

It's too late I'm afraid. I did say it 5 times and now I'm one of Candyman's disciples. He has demanded more.

reply

Annnnd... won't be sleeping tonight. Thanks.

reply

Well, of course it's just a movie, so he's not really going to show up.

I've tried doing it a few times in the presence of people I didn't like, in the hopes that they'd be the ones who got taken out. Unfortunately, nothing happened! 

reply

I can assure you that you're on his list. Be afraid - be very afraid.

reply

I was surprised she didn't do it when she was in her apartment with her husband and his blonde student. Haha

reply

Did it immediately after watching the movie.

reply

What was he like - as frightening in real life as in the film?

reply

Heck no, I say it once and only once. I had a friend who said it twice next to me and I freaked out.
