The Candy Tunnels are a series of connected sewer tunnels near Snake Meadow Hill Road, which appears in FAITH: Chapter II.
Background[]
The sewer system, entered from an outside drain, is commonly known in the area as the "Candy Tunnels" evident from its outside graffiti. The tunnels are infamous for housing addicts, gangs, runaways, and the indigent of society. It is littered with trash and graffiti and houses incomprehensible evils well deep into its system.
More recently, it became the site of grisly murders. Police in the area believed the bodies to be related to local notorious serial killer Joe Baumann, nicknamed "Candy Store Killer." This theory is proven right when police later raided the tunnels at an unknown date and discovered Baumann, sparking a shootout that resulted in one officer's death and multiple injured including Baumann. The victims discovered in the tunnels are believed to be from Connecticut and Rhode Island within the last year.

John finds himself traversing the sewer system during a nightmare in FAITH: Chapter II. He discovers notes eluding to the shootout between police and Baumann and the grisly murders discovered in the tunnel system. One note, presumably from a drug user, suggests that cult-related activities are taking place deep within the tunnel system. After traversing deep enough, John encounters several demonic entities.
First, John encounters the Peekaboo Demon, an armless creature that covers its face with its hands. It will not attack so long as John does not move. Next, John encounters Basement Demon, which can only be seen with the flashlight before being warded off with the crucifix. Having now obtained the flashlight, John can enter a tunnel marked with several demonic symbols, which will take him into an area called Malphas' House. The stark difference in architecture and colors used in this area signifies this is likely not an original part of the Candy Tunnels itself, instead a separate structure whose access is hidden inside the Tunnels.
