Breaking Down The Candyman Trailer, And The Direct Horror Sequel Trend

I've noticed that there's a very unnoticed thing happening with horror movies that may or may not pick up... Candyman 2020 has been the most recent film to give a slasher movie the "direct sequel" treatment. It works both in the favor and against the films it follows up on, and the films it disregards in it's new story. I don't get too deep into, but I just touch up on a few things I've peeped in the process and what slashers can maybe take this theory and make it work. Enjoy, people.
