Mary who is summoned three times. Kayne West also gave mention in his song titled " Breathe In, Breathe Out" rapping, "So, say my name like Candyman, and I'ma come and fix you up like the handyman". The character was often parodied or mentioned in many television, movies and media ranging from The Simpsons, South Park, The Chappelle Show and Key & Peele. Social media also parodied Candyman various ways with mock trailers or appearances in their videos/short. A meme created with a picture of Terrance Howard circulated in the late 2010s with the spelling caption of Candyman as 'CANDY-MAYNE' (pronounced candy-mine) due to his southern vocal accent and speaking annunciation of how he pronounces the word "man". It was then followed by mock VHS/DVDs/Bluray with Howard as the Candyman with the accent spelling in the title, also followed by edited parodied video/bits that went viral of what would the movie be like if Terrance Howard starred in the movie, it featured the impersonation of Howards' voice and likeness saying CANDY-MAYNE in the mirror and others correcting him to pronounce the name right otherwise he wont come out.
