Every 90s’ horror fan has looked into the mirror and has said, “Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman,” at least once. Am I right?
For those of you who don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, let me refresh your memory. Candyman is a 1992 horror flick based on the short story “Forbidden” by Clive Barker. Horror legend Tony Todd starred as Daniel Robitaille, a son of a slave who fell in love with a white woman during the 19th century. When the townsfolk learn about their relationship, an angry white mob brutally beat Daniel, smeared honey on him, and released bees upon his flesh, which resulted in his death. Daniel became a vengeful spirit who will kill anyone who repeats the name “Candyman” five times while looking in a mirror.
