Kasi Lemmons played Bernadette, Helen's best friend. Vanessa Williams played Anne-Marie, the young African-American woman whose son was kidnapped by the 'Candyman'.

Tony Todd was the actor who played Candyman, Xander Berkley played Helen's unlikable husband Trevor, and Phillip Purcell was a professor in the movie.

From Quiz Candyman

Answer: Jake

DeJuan Guy played this African-American little boy. His short stature and innocent face gave Jake a likable persona. Jake fed Helen information about Candyman which both helped and hurt Helen. After he told her about the bathroom and the boy who died in it, she visited it and got hooked in the eye. Guy has made appearances on episodes of "Boston Public", "Crime Scene Investigation", "Baywatch", and even "Sister, Sister."

Answer: through the mirror in the bathroom

All the apartments were the same layout, so they all had mirrors that were connected to the medicine cabinet on the other side in another apartment. Helen demonstrated this in the movie when she and Bernadette investigated the Cabrini Green apartments. Candyman actually did come through her mirror near the very end.

Helen woke up in Anne-Marie's bathroom covered in blood and holding a meat cleaver. She could hear Anne-Marie screaming, and when she went into the baby's bedroom, Anne-Marie attacked her.

Didn't look good for Helen!

Answer: the metal scraps pile

At the very end of the movie, after Helen made the deal with Candyman to give Anthony back to his mother, she realized Candyman didn't keep his end of the bargain. Anthony was really in the metal scraps pile which was set to burn! Helen climbed up the pile and worked her way to the little baby, but Candyman was there too! He set Jake's torch ablaze and the scraps started to burn. Helen was chased by Candyman to get out of the pile and made it out with Anthony still in her arms. Her hair was burnt off and she was barely alive, and Anne-Marie took him from her. Candyman died in the blaze.

Cabrini Green was in the middle of the ghetto as we saw from Helen's and Bernadette's excursion there. The building was laden with graffiti and about to fall apart, which was probably why demolition began in September of 1995, three years after "Candyman"'s debut.
