- TriviaProduction was brought back to the Cabrini Green neighborhood where Candyman (1992) was filmed. Though the high-rise buildings have long been demolished, the Rowhouses still exist.
- GoofsHaley reads from the program describing Say My Name at the Night Driver gallery. The program reads 'In foreground, Helen Lyle: a white, privileged, graduate student whose obsession with her research into a [sic] an urban legend called, "Candyman," led to her bizarre self-emulation in the housing projects courtyard in the early 90's.' The word "emulation" is confused with "immolation", which means death by fire.

Detective Lipez: Who are you?
Anthony McCoy: I am the writing on the walls. I am the sweet smell of blood on the street. The buzz that echoes in the alleyways. They will say I shed innocent blood. You are far from innocent, but they will say you were. That's all that matters.

Featured review
Abysmall... Candyman takes the background seat to political propaganda
Is this really what movies are coming to... We watch movies to be entertainig, uplifted or perhaps even make us contemplate on something. This is nothing of that. It is not horror. It is not entertaining. It is another misguided and fabricated attempt, which Is unfortunate becaues Peele is talented, of propaganda. But last few films of this directors have all been in this direction. The title of the story is misleading and facade. This is plain one sided, fabricated truths, divisive instead of trying to portray a chance of unity. Just endless victimization and no responsibility taken for anything.
Avoid.
Avoid.
