WTF Happened To Candyman?

[@MovieProdigy25]

R.I.P Tony Todd is one still hurts

[@DaveCurry-p3b]

😢😢 there's only one candy man Tony rest in peace sir

[@81tattooed]

I was at a convention last year he was supposed to attend, but he had to back out due to health reasons. Myself and many others were hopeful he could come back another time, but none of us were aware how serious it seemed to be and then he passed away shortly after. Rest in peace to a true legend. He always made a film that much better when he made an appearance, as the lead or a small or large supporting role.

Rest in peace Tony Todd a legend in his own right

[@zuitsuit80]

I’ve always said Tony Todd elevated “Candyman” into the iconic horror film that it is today. At a time when most of our favorite slashers were becoming satirical jokes of themselves (Jason, Michael, Freddy) a mirror-killer with a hook hand and a pimp coat could’ve been just another straight-to-video comical horror movie… But Mr. Todd brought so much to this movie. He incorporated a Shakespearean acting quality with influences of Dracula, Phantom and Hannibal Lector to create a charming, charismatic, even sexy villain that was also terrifying. Plus, the fact that “Candyman” was made for a generation that grew up in the urban sprawl and urban legends of the 1980s/90s. “Candyman” is not set in a campground or a rich neighborhood. These are real places and people that many of us recognize. The kills reflected things that we read in the papers everyday. The killer has a face and speaks. No masks or full makeup. Also Virginia Madson was a great female lead. She was beautiful but she never uses her sexuality in the typical horror way. She purposefully cut her hair short and wore heavy clothes for the audience to focus on her academic motivation and intelligence (much like Jodi Foster in “Silence Of The Lambs”) Tony Todd will forever be a horror movie icon. Up there with Bela Legosi , Robert Englund and many others.

Of all the great villains of cinema who have passed on, Tony Todd and Rutger Hauer hit me the hardest. RIP Tony, you are a legend.

[@wstine79]

RIP Tony Todd. He gave us a great modern-day Dracula performance with Candyman. The movie itself was well shot.

[@MegaSting1981]

A classic. The performances. The atmosphere. The score. First time watching it Cabrini Green alone felt like the scariest place.

[@DGKMcfly01]

RIP Tony Todd thank you for revisiting this masterpiece. His impact on the 90s generation and arguably the most important blk actor. This is how I got my gamer tag and all. Candyman 4 life 😢

[@Cymricus]

it’s almost poetic that she was allergic to bees in real life. their chemistry was brilliant and thank god it was tony todd and not eddie murphy

[@shaylaw.7273]

RIP Tony Todd. Forever my Candyman & beyond a legend 😞 ❤🕊️

[@tonyjrdeets]

Tony got stung 23-27 times. So He made an extra almost 30 grand. RIP To Him, Dude is a legend.

[@DocZFlux]

A horror film that’s actually successful in having a gothic vibe in a very contemporary-looking setting (usually gothic only works in more of a older time period setting)

[@HaveanOreshnik]

This film rules R.I.P Tony Todd

[@tdsollog]

I can’t imagine anyone else other than Tony Todd being Candyman. Eddie Murphy would’ve have ruined the story for me. Iconic.

[@deeacosta2734]

Tony Todd a true legend. Stole every scene.

[@DeliveryServiceFan06]

Candyman is my childhood horror film Tony Todd will be remember as Candyman and this is one of his roles alongside Venom thank you for honoring Tony Todd with this video Joblo Candyman is my favorite horror films of all time❤

[@scottvincent184]

I really miss him. I also remember him as Worf's biological brother as much as Candyman

[@AHalevonEric]

"Tell everyone."

[@geon565]

i couldnt say candyman 3 times for many many years....😂

[@adriennereyes5405]

It was an honor and a privilege meeting Tony Todd I'll love him forever and a day rip baby 😢

[@geeshep4836]

Thank You Todd Your Roles In Final Destination, Night of The Living Dead Remake, Wishmaster, Hatchet, Tales From The Hood 3 Are Still The Best But To All of Us You Will Forever and Always Will Be Candyman.

[@DaOne.]

Please please pleaaaaasssse do the the 2021 version next, I would love to know the reason that the original script was scrapped

[@ericdraven3427]

No1 could have played Candyman any better than Todd, they tried in the newer remake and ruined it

[@lutherheggs451]

Maybe you should have watched the 2021 movie, because it was a sequel to the first movie not a reboot

[@jaded5957]

Despite the awful sequels and reboot, this film still stands alone and unmatched. Seeing it the first terrified me, as you were seeing it through the eyes of Helen as she loses her grip on reality.

[@lutherheggs451]

There was no reboot....There was a 2021 sequel, that im guessing you never saw only heard about on the internet.....Maybe even one of those people who claim its "woke" while completely ignoring the savior white woman saving the poor black projects building theme in the original

[@illmatixx_5346]

​The "sequel" was trash get over it...​@@lutherheggs451

[@Varg84]

When do we get another video from the guy that thinks Freddy Kruger was time travelling in Freddy's Dead?

[@latifahwallen7756]

RIP to a true legend. 😢

[@roberthiltz2741]

I truly love the first film for its look, score and controversy but I am always impressed with stories of the practical effects including the bees and the lasting impact of everyone who took part in the creation of this gem! RIP Tony Todd, legendary actor

[@CatnessStrange]

Tony Todd passed? Wow. Candyman will forever be one of my favorite horror films. Scared me to death as a kid and even as an adult (the parking lot scene).

[@jazcc]

He is so missed

[@TobermoryIscarabaidX]

RIP. Tony Todd. It’s a shame he never quite got another iconic role. He’s good in some other films, but I feel like he had the talent for another big role, at least. I’ll also say the first Candyman is a masterpiece. The second wasn’t as bad as some say. Some good ideas that really lacked not having the same director. The third was awful. I tried & wanted to like it, but ugh. The newest sequel had good ideas. Some visuals & music were really interesting, but it was lacking in the end. Unfortunately.

[@TobermoryIscarabaidX]

Fun fact. I’m pretty sure candyman was the first horror film that gave me nightmares as a kid. Granted, I feel like my parents misjudged how appropriate this film was for my single digit age. 😂

[@majedulleon]

I love this film so so so so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheRealHelenaDeluca]

Amazing film!

[@ObiClon]

One of Tony Todd's best & most iconic roles in his long career in the horror genre. He will be greatly missed and hopefully never forgotten.

[@Militantcharles]

This film hit differently for us Chicago folk, and we love it.

[@HisShadowX]

First the Candyman ‘Remake’ isn’t a remake but a sequel to Candyman 1. For those who didn’t see it you should and see it till the end to understand

[@vixengypsy]

The Jordan Peele film was astounding IMO. It was fantastic to see Tony Todd's cameo!

[@vampirascoffin870]

i dont get the hate with candyman 2021 i think it was great that was our freddy/jason in our hood

[@HisShadowX]

@@vampirascoffin870 Because people are tired of remakes, the difference is, this really isn’t a remake-it’s a sequel. And it’s sort of smart what they did. However, the average audience sees this as an insult to the legacy of the franchise. For example, there’s a video game called Final Fantasy VII. Now, for years, people had been begging for a remake, and 10 years ago, the creators said they would never remake Final Fantasy VII. Well, go figure, a couple of years later, Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced. However, true to their word, it was not a remake-it was an actual sequel. So, yeah, there are a lot of people who don’t like when things are remade, especially when something’s already a masterpiece. And to be quite honest with you, i almost didn’t see the movie because i was upset, but after I saw it, I sort of respect the Candyman (2021) movie. Because you don’t know until the end of the movie that it’s actually a sequel to the original, down to the main characters of the first movie.

[@BADSEED13]

What happened to Handyman? A woman. RIP

[@gypsydildopunks7083]

If I get stung more than a couple times death becomes me. This movie terrified me as a kid

[@spaceo8568]

I've been in love with Tony Todd since I saw this movie when I was like, 11 years old.

This movie freaked me out as a kid.

[@Ultra_Lowcrian]

I saw Virginia Madsen in the thumbnail and thought, “I don’t remember Gillian Anderson being in Candyman”.

[@donaldporr9682]

I love this movie!

[@ayditho9307]

Tony JUST Died? THAT explains A Lot of the Imagery I've been getting!! HEKATE!!! ....YOU are IN SO MUCH TROUBLE, GodDESS!!!!

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Tony Todd RIP 🎥

[@alexwilliams5799]

Candyman was a great movie. Don't know why you need to ask "what the fuck happened to..." when it didn't suck.

[@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0]

Okay, so what do you mean then, WTD happened to Candyman?!

[@docsamson198]

I remember when they filmed this in Chicago. I had a friend of a friend of Virginia Madsen who said she was very nervous making this. She kept saying it could make or break her career. Personally I thought she was awesome.

[@lutherheggs451]

Yet she was in that god awful Highlander 2

[@docsamson198]

@@lutherheggs451 Agreed. The entire cast was god awful in Highlander 2. Even the movie poster was god awful.

[@DannyKnightblade45]

Rest in peace to Tony Todd. The decision to give Candyman a slavery back story was a questionable one. Just because a character is blk doesn't mean they were slaves in America hundreds of years ago.

[@mrhumble2937]

Why does it matter and if they were in America back then they had slaves in their family bloodline.

[@DannyKnightblade45]

@mrhumble2937 Not necessarily. Not all blks were slaves. There were blk slave masters, there were blk slaves, and there were blks in free states who were free men and women.

[@DannyKnightblade45]

@mrhumble2937 Not necessarily. Not all bp have slavery in their bloodline. There were bp who were slaves, slave masters and free men and women in free states before slavery was abolished.

[@mrhumble2937]

@DannyKnightblade45 and there were white people that thought slavery was morally wrong. Point is its a minority.

[@lutherheggs451]

Sooooo your worried about that, but OK with the white woman savior who saves the poor black people in the projects. You do know that YES because someone is black hundreds of years ago it was highly likely they were a slave....Protip; there weren't all that many free blacks back in the time of slavery and, it had nothing to do with him being a slave anyway. the same thing would have happened to ANY black man who had relations with a white woman back then

Love 1, 2 was pretty good, 3 was ok, and I really liked 4. I didn't know Candyman was a Clive story, and its a shame he didn't like Rawhead Rex cuz its one of my favs. RIP Tony Todd
