Sweets for the sweet 🍭🍬

After literal years, we finally confront the Stacy Adams big bad himself, Candyman (1992) directed by Bernard Rose and starring Virginia Madsen, Tony Todd, and Kasi Lemmons.

In this episode: our childhood experience with the film; local urban legends and the power of belief; Clive Barker's The Forbidden and Eddie Murphy as the first choice for Daniel Robitaille; smash or pass: the Juice Demon or the Candy Demon; and what went wrong the re-quel.

Our recommendations: Hellraiser (1987), Nightbreed (1990), The Evil Dead (1981), Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
