...horror devotees know, reciting “Candyman” five times to a mirror leads to the appearance of demonic killer The Candyman (Todd). In this absurd final installment of the series, The Candyman kills all the associates of distant relative Caroline McKeever (D’Errico), framing her in the hope that she will join him as a legendary killing machine. This is a perfect flick for watching with friends while imbibing massive amounts of alcohol. Think 93 minutes of mocking terrible dialogue, marveling at Baywatch Babe D’Errico’s beautiful body, or mastering...

This is one of the play’s weakest elements: the children make catty remarks to the parents, who in turn neglect them, and that’s just about as far as the family dynamic...
...Just where along the river,” however, has substantial implications for whether the prospective ‘Allston Houses’ could become just another Quad. Anywhere farther along the river than the athletic fields directly across the JFK Bridge would actually be more distant from the John Harvard statue than the Quad is now. Admittedly, several blocks of residential Cambridge separate the Quad from the Yard, while the Allston development could create a contiguous campus hugging the Charles and relocating Harvard’s geographic focus. But the distance to classes would remain problematic. While the obstacles...
