He offered them candy. He promised safety. But inside his home, boys vanished without a sound. Between 1970 and 1973, Dean Corll lured dozens of young men and boys to a fate too horrific to comprehend. With the help of teenage accomplices, Corll built one of the most shocking murder sprees in American history, hidden behind the quiet facade of suburban Texas life. The Candy Man is a dramatized retelling of true events, grounded in real testimony, survivor accounts, and historical records. It explores how manipulation, silence, and fear allowed a predator to operate in plain sight. This is not just the story of a serial killer. It is the story of the boys he took, the accomplices he used, and the lives shattered in his wake. Chilling, immersive, and unflinchingly human, The Candy Man dares you to look beyond the monster and into the system that let him thrive.
