Episodes 1 - 100 (1)
Written By Ray Chen
 

The “CandyMan” is what all the little boys called him. He was a candy factory owner who passed out free candy to all the kids.

In the same small town of Houston Heights 29 boys go missing in the span of a few years…

At a time where it felt like nobody could be trusted - the CandyMan seemed like a wholesome adult figure. But you know where this story goes.
