Anthony McCoy
[edit]- Candyman. The urban legend is, if you say his name five times while looking in the mirror, he appears in the reflection, and it kills you.

Dialogue
[edit]- Anthony McCoy: So he's real?
- William Burke: Bell is real. Samuel, Sherman, Daniel Robitaille. They're all real. Candyman is how we deal with the fact that these things happened. That they're still happening.
- Detective Lipez: Who are you?
- Anthony McCoy: I am the writing on the walls. I am the sweet smell of blood on the street. The buzz that echoes in the alleyways. They will say I shed innocent blood. You are far from innocent, but they will say you were. That's all that matters.
