Don’t say his name.
This summer, Oscar winner Jordan Peele unleashes a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend that your friend’s older sibling probably told you about at a sleepover: Candyman. Rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) directs this contemporary incarnation of the cult classic.
For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO’s Watchmen, Us) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; If Beale Street Could Talk, The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.
With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo; HBO’s Euphoria, Assassination Nation) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.
HIALEAH, Florida (WPVI) -- Police say a South Florida mother tried to strangle her children before two of them were able to fight her off and save their baby sister.
Ailenys Carmenate was wiping back tears before the bond court judge had even called her name.
"Ma'am, you were arrested for two counts of attempted premeditated murder," said Judge Mindy Glazer.
Carmenate is facing several charges outlined in an arrest form obtained by WPLG-TV, which details a harrowing account that Carmenate tried to strangle her 6-month-old baby girl by pressing her elbow against the baby's throat.
According to the document, police say Carmenate's 12-year-old and 9-year-old children were locked in the bedroom with her. They pulled their mother's hair, bit her arms and kicked her to save their baby sister's life.
"Thank goodness. This child's a hero," said Judge Glazer.
Randy Montano is the father of the baby and says the older kids are his step-children.
When the eldest child unlocked the door for him, police say Montano tried to wrestle Carmenate's hands from the baby's neck and they fell to the floor, the baby suffering a head injury.
After he escaped the Hialeah apartment with the baby, the arrest form says Carmenate tried to choke her 12-year-old son, but he was able to escape her grasp.
While running away, he says he saw his mom dragging his 9-year-old sister by the hair back into the room.
She told investigators that her mom began squeezing and twisting her throat saying she "could no longer breathe and thought she was going to die."
The document says Carmenate released her throat and the 9-year-old was able to flee out of the apartment.
She suffered neck trauma, which caused bleeding and swelling.
Montano says their little baby girl is doing just fine. He claims this was the first time Carmenate has ever done something like this, adding that he thinks she is suffering from postpartum depression.
Carmenate has been ordered to stay away from the victims.
WINTER PARK, Fla. (CBS12) - A 42-year-old woman is facing second-degree murder charges for allegedly zipping her boyfriend inside a suitcase and leaving him to die, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Sarah Boone was arrested Tuesday for the death of 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr.
On Monday around 1 p.m., deputies responded to Frantz Lane after Boone reported that Torres was dead, WKMG reported. She told investigators they were playing hide-and-seek and the couple thought it would be funny if Torres got into the suitcase.
Boone said she zipped him in the suitcase and passed out in her bed later that night after drinking, according to WKMG. She woke up later and realized her boyfriend was still in the suitcase. She called 911 shortly after.
Deputies found Torres by the front door by a blue suitcase, WKMG reported. He had a "small laceration" on his lip and bruising around his eye.
After Boone gave deputies permission to search her phone, they found two videos on her phone, WKMG reported. One video shows Torres begging Boone to let him out because he couldn't breath while Boone laughed. The video also shows the suitcase facing down with Torres pushing on the suitcase trying to get out.
Based on what happened in the videos and her "inconsistent" statements, Boone was arrested for second-degree murder.

Tyler Perry's nephew appears to have killed himself behind bars -- but the answer officials are giving the family doesn't have them convinced it wasn't foul play.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the filmmaker's 26-year-old nephew, Gavin Porter, was found dead in his cell Tuesday night at a prison facility near St. Helena Parish in Louisiana. We're told Gavin's immediate family -- which includes Tyler's sister, who's Gavin's mom -- was told by prison officials he had hanged himself with a bedsheet while in solitary confinement.
Our sources say the officials told the fam Gavin had gotten into a fight with another inmate over the weekend and was placed in solitary. We're told that around 6 PM, guards checked on Gavin and found nothing of concern.
Our sources say guards came back at 8 PM Tuesday and found Gavin dead. He had hung himself with bedsheets. We're told the family has been notified there's no foul play in the death -- but our sources say Gavin's family isn't necessarily buying the story.
Gavin was arrested for shooting and killing his biological father back in 2016 -- in front of his mother -- after cops say an argument erupted between the two. He pled no contest to manslaughter and was sentenced to 20 years.

Future says his alleged baby mama's treating her baby girl like an ATM to squeeze money out of him, and he even claims she's given the child a nickname ... "check baby."
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the rapper claims Eliza Seraphin has referred to the 9-month-old little girl by that phrase. Future's lawyers define the term as "slang terminology describing a child conceived solely for the purposes of extorting monies from the father of a child in the child support setting."
Translation: Future's claiming Eliza got knocked up just to get money out of him. TBH, it's a claim he's made before, but now he's claiming even Eliza cops to it.
In the docs, the rapper claims one of her friends alleged, during an online interview, Eliza had gone as far as researching the amount of child support Future paid to his other baby mamas ... just to see what she could get out of him.
What's more, Future claims that friend also said Eliza started taking fertility pills to increase her chances of getting impregnated by Future.
He says the kid only needs around $450 per month -- a number he based on a financial affidavit Eliza filed in court, detailing her monthly expenses. Anything above that is a money grab, in Future's eyes.
To this date, Future's never claimed paternity of Eliza's baby. He's even asked a Broward County Judge to toss the case against him.
Tokyo 2020 could be CANCELED over the coronavirus -- so says a senior Olympic official who says postponing or moving the games to another country is probably out of the question.
With 80,000 people reportedly infected with the virus -- and 2,600 deaths -- people are concerned a massive international gathering like the Olympics could accelerate the spread. And, with the Games set to kick off in late July, athletes and fans want to know if there's a backup plan.
Enter Dick Pound -- a senior member of the International Olympic Committee -- who told the Associated Press a total cancelation IS on the table.
"In and around that time, I’d say folks are going to have to ask: 'Is this under sufficient control that we can be confident about going to Tokyo or not?'" Pound said.
And, if officials determine it's too dangerous to move forward, "You’re probably looking at a cancellation."
That being said, Pound is urging athletes to continue training as usual -- because the current plan is to HAVE the Games in Tokyo as scheduled.
"As far as we all know, you’re going to be in Tokyo. All indications are at this stage that it will be business as usual. So keep focused on your sport and be sure that the IOC is not going to send you into a pandemic situation."
The Olympics have only been canceled in modern history as a result of war -- the Games were called off in 1916 for WWI and both the 1940 and 1944 Games were axed because of WW2.
There was a scare about the Games in 2016 because of the Zika virus outbreak at the time, but the event ultimately went on as planned.
I'm an artist from Angola, Indiana who's most concerned with social activism and empowerment for all working class people. I believe that with my music I can spread working class consciousness to as many people as possible and that we will then be able to create a society in which we are no longer bogged down by the draining efforts of contemporary life and the ever looming threat of homelessness, hunger and poverty. Since the age of 13 I've had this dream, and even further back than that I've had a deep love and respect for the musical art of Hip Hop. It was built upon social change and controversy. It will do the same once again.
Christ Money Sex Talk is about the hypocrisy in American society. We often like to pride ourselves for our "love of the lord and jesus christ" without even attempting to abide by any of his teachings. We, including myself, have problems with selfishness, corruption and greed. Capital is often the main goal to strive for in many peoples lives, and in one way or another, it completely consumes every essence of our being. Through this obsession many are killed over petty, quickly made profits and once this act has been committed, a life has been lost forever.
We like to pride ourselves on being a "sex positive society" in some social circles, while completely rejecting the concept in the most traditional ways in others. However, what we seem to be unable to get over is rampant discrimination and objectifying the human form. We are judged on our sex appeal and by how many partners we've slept with, or haven't slept with for that matter. Regardless of the situation, your identity and worth is boiled down to a special set of numbers and words with no meaning, while we try to promote "self love". And you wonder why the suicide rate is as problematic as it is.
