[@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6]

True story. My Wife Kahlie’s Dad, when she was a little girl, found out that she was afraid of the Halloween theme cause it “sounded creepy”. He then proceeded to play it randomly throughout her childhood to freak her out. So even though she’s a huge horror fan, when we met in college, she’d never seen the Carpenter classic. She’d built up such trauma over the theme music she was subconsciously certain that Halloween would be scary on a level she wouldn’t be able to handle. After many years of being in a relationship, I was able to finally convince her to give it a try. And after all that build up, there was only one review possible: “Was that it?”

I was born 4 years after Candyman released. But, it was and is still such a famous movie.

Now that I'm older, I'm kinda interested to watch the new sequel coming out in August.

[@jaelie8398]

7:45 The whole thing about opening up the backs of bathroom mirrors was a really interesting touch in this story. The high rises in poor areas were all built the same all across certain areas in the US. People found out if you removed the bathroom mirror / cabinet, behind it would be a cavity for pipes that led straight into the adjacent apartment. With nothing but a slide on backing stopping someone coming in. A common way for people in bad neighbourhoods to burgle houses from empty apartments into homed ones. A woman was killed this way in NYC when teens came through her bathroom wall and were caught by her, thinking the apartment was empty. They put everything back together so well on their way out people had no idea how it could have happened. Scary stuff.

[@peanuts_ma8965]

I think we can all agree that the true villain of this story is Helen's smarmy husband. At least Candyman wanted a relationship. LOL!

[@Japaneseanimeguy]

True. Because she was the one disproving him, killing her and having her join him makes his desire to have her special. Some random young woman won't do, it has to be Helen. Meanwhile the man who is supposed to be there for her is off screwing one of his students and starts redecorating their apartment when she was incarcerated in the mental hospital. The murderous malevolent spirit was more of a romantic and showed more appreciation than the asshole. Plus he's cultured. There's just something about a calm cultured villain. They're better than your average psychopath.

[@alamaaya2335]

yess it was so good

[@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013]

@@melt_brain Michael Bay was actually involved in those? I legit always thought that was a joke the few times I'd heard him mentioned. Why the fuck do studios keep giving beloved properties to Michael Bay? Or, you know, giving money to him in general? He's made very few, if any, competent films as a director. The best he's done is blindly copy what some studio executive *thinks* worked about another movie. As for his ability as a producer...tbh I'm not convinced producers should have any artistic input on a film or the ability to veto the ideas of the actual artists, so that's kinda neither here nor there - if he was a producer on a bad movie, it's possible he's why it's bad, while if he's produced a good film, it's probably the result of the actual artists that made it.

[@beeking1792]

When I first heard about Candyman, I thought it was going to be a horror movie about an actual Candyman (similar to ice cream man but with candy). Instead it was something way different but still good, before it became a franchise and became a cheesy slasher killer movie.

I think him saying "it was always you" had a few meanings. The first would be its literal meaning, that she was the one to do the killings (she was just in a posessed state, but it was physically her doing the killings) But i think the second is a symbolic meaning, that helen was actually Caroline in a past life, and thats why candyman was so obsessed with her and doing killings with her.

What an excellent video about Candyman! I saw this movie when I was very young, in fact too young. Some of the scenes REALLY scared and creeped me out, like the mutilated kid on the bathroom floor, even the woman's death where her blood leaks from the ceiling scared the hell out of me. The one that really disturbed me was the very bloody dog head scene and the woman wailing because she thought it was her baby. Great review and behind-the-scenes explanations.

So I kinda love this movie despite never actually watching it myself. First off the Candyman is just so cool especially with how he’s portrayed by his wonderful actor. I also love the use of a hypnotist as it’s honestly a fascinating practice that’s underutilized for serious projects. If anyone is unaware real hypnotism isn’t the same thing as stage hypnotism. Real hypnotism cannot be done on someone unwilling or non susceptible to it. For example you may be able to get someone to tell you something that they have locked in their subconscious if they want to know it. But you can’t get them to commit a crime. It’s not mind control. Alternatively you can’t force someone who’s not perceptible to be put into a trance. Some people are just unable to give themselves to it

My friends and I made a horrible mistake of watching this movie high. Going into it I had expected a typical slasher movie so all of the “romance” scenes bugged me right out.
