The Candyman Trilogy - The Cinema Snob

[@AMac-qd6ft]

Candyman is one of those weird horror movies that breaks almost every rule of horror movies - low body count, killer is almost always in full light and ends up a tragic, sympathetic character - and works better than almost every other 90s horror movie because of it.

[@gregorymelissinos337]

Candyman is interesting because it’s thought of as a slasher movie but it’s really a thirties universal monster movie made in the nineties.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

It reminds me a lot of the first Hellraiser.

[@defender2222]

@@gregorymelissinos337 That truly is the best way to put it. Make it black and white, change the setting to some gothic eastern village...and it plays out basically the same way. It's Dracula for a modern age

[@michaelryall5752]

Sorry Snob, but you have been out deep-voiced. Tony Todd's baritone voice makes this horror icon. Also, with the amazing soundtrack and Gothic atmosphere, Candyman feels like a modern Dracula tale, ironically more so than any vampire movie I've seen in the last 30 years.

I'm glad he didn't get the role. Eddie Murphy is notorious for changing scripts to fit his liking and casting his friends. Wes Craven did not like how Murphy changed the script to Vampire in Brooklyn but the studio approved because Murphy was a cash cow in the 90's

A fun trivia regarding the first feature was that the bees had to have the stingers removed in the kissing scene, since Madsen were very allergic to bees.

[@johnschou2172]

They were also rangled by a queen bee feromone that placated them. Also, many of the bees were babies, so they didn’t have fully-developed stingers. They were also removed with a bee vacuum.

So Tony Todd's "1000 extra dollars for every bee sting" clause got completely screwed then?

[@jessi3494]

I love that, in the first movie, when Candyman gets ripped out the window, you can very clearly see the ropes.

[@defender2222]

What I love about Candyman that the other films fucked up is the feeling that it truly is "a legend". A story passed down from person to person, each generation adding thru own touch to build on it. With the first film we are merely seeing how part of the legend came to be By making him just a Jason or a Freddy misses the point entirely.

[@stefanfilipovits21]

Well said

[@defender2222]

@@stefanfilipovits21 Its honestly why I am hoping that the 2021 version is going to go the route that the Candyman legend from the first film isn't the true origin of him. That instead Candyman absorbs into himself all these different origins, taking bits and pieces from each retelling and adding them to himself. Much as the 'classic vampire' is in fact just many different tellings of the legend pieced together so too is Candyman. There really was a son of a slave who loved a white woman and died because of it. But there was also a nice man who handed out candy who had a false hand and was brutally killed when he was falsely accused of a crime. And another man killed for being a suspected pedo but was innocent. I'm hoping the new movie is that there is no singular origin for Candyman. He absorbs other legends into himself, much like how Greek Myth did that with Herakles. The hook came from one legends. The coat another. The bees another. So on and so on. A being not of our world that takes from the legends to build itself up

[@Japaneseanimeguy]

Also that legend is what empowers him. He targets Helen because she tries to disprove him, and in doing unknowingly rob him of his power. He needs to spread his story in order to do stuff.

[@stefanfilipovits21]

@@defender2222 I really dig that idea. It’s a good way to do something new and keep the character and story fresh.

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

I also always loved how in the original (until the very end anyway), you could keep guessing as to whether he was real or if Helen was simply so wrapped up in the legends herself that it was affecting her grasp on reality. As is the case with the legend itself in-movie, the audience is also speculating just how much of what they're seeing is reliable. Either outcome would have worked, but revealing it is real not only means we get a sweet final scare, but also gives you that final sense of "well yes, it could just be a story...but do you want to risk it?"

[@CyberSpider35]

Also in The Forbidden the monster is described as being a 7-8 foot tall man like creature covered head to toe in thick red wire like hair and long lanky arms and legs. I believe the original story was about how the British thought about the Irish and Scottish immigrants moving there way back when. I mean thats what the song “this old man” is about, its about how Irish immigrants had to go around selling their knickknacks door to door and most british people would wack them on the head and close the door so the Irish man would then go to the pub and end up rolling home and obviously patty being a term British used for Irish people.

Eddie Murphy wouldn't have ever been right for this role. A good actor in his own right, but Todd brings an energy that is both subtle and regal. His calm demeanor is a huge part of what makes him feel threatening. Eddie flourishes in more bombastic, flashy roles. That said, he was great in Vampire in Brooklyn.

Man I thoroughly enjoyed the review of all three of these movies love the first one the second one was I think okay third one what.

[@xXxDigitalBathxXx]

So excited for the new one 🙂

I think the 2nd one was the first one I saw when I was about 16. Then the the other two. First one is still my fave though. Still scares the shit out of me too. I'm actually really excited about the new one coming out.

Yeah. My class was shown this for Halloween while I was in middle school. I didn’t sleep for weeks.
