Bad Candy (2020) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi but it's also available on Prime. The storyline follows a local radio show who tells stories about the twisted past of New Salem on Halloween Night.
This movie is codirected by Scott B. Hansen (The Possession Experiment) and Desiree Connell and stars Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Derek Russo (The Mule), Corey Taylor (Rucker), Michael Aaron Milligan (Samaritan) and Haley Leary (Nashville).
This is a movie made up of some short stories that are better than others. The acting and writing is average for the most part but there are some worthwhile scenes. The makeup and outfits are cool and there's a clown in the woods that's awesome. There's also a good use of a nail gun and there's a nurse in this that's smoking and her story was my favorite segment.
Overall, this has some elements that make it a must watch for horror enthusiasts. I would consider this an average addition to the horror genre worth watching once and a 5.5/10.
Plot summary

A terrible version of Trick R Treat
So we watched this largely for Corey Taylor and we typically like horror anthology movies but this is a giant swing and a miss. There were a couple of entertaining moments but this thing tries too hard to be an over the top Trick R Treat without any appeal of Sam. Definitely skip.
That 3.8 is well earned
I watched this movie because Corey Taylor is in it, however I wish I hadn't. The stories are terribly told, terribly acted, and terribly bad. Save yourself the discomfort and just watch C-SPAN for 2 hours.
