In case you're unfamiliar with either:

Bloody Mary and Candyman are basically urbanmyths/folktales where you say either name three or more times and you summon a spirit which then proceeds to kill you. Children tried to get other kids to do this as a test of courage.
usually
I remember as a child, my friends would dare each other to go into a bathroom, lock the door, shut the lights off, and say "Candyman" five times in the mirror. We would each go into the bathroom and close the door behind us, and we all came out swearing that we did it, I'm not sure if my friends had done so, but I certainly didn't, and I still haven't to this day. For some reason, we never dared each other to summon "Bloody Mary".
With this on my mind I must ask, have you ever "summoned" either "Bloody Mary" and/or "Candyman"?
If not, here's a more important question, would you do it?
EDIT: You can add any other childhood "spooky" games like summoning Beetlejuice. (or more recently Biggie Smalls) Also I have seen people commenting on some "Candlejack" character, I tried looking him up and I couldn't find anyth...
