Step into the mirror with us as we head to Chicago’s Cabrini Green for 100 Things We Learned From Candyman. This week we’re summoning Clive Barker’s urban legend and Bernard Rose’s haunting 1992 film to uncover every drop of blood, honey, and history behind Tony Todd’s iconic hook-handed ghost. From the real-life horror stories that inspired it to the shocking bee stunts, hypnotised performances, and Philip Glass’s chilling score, we dig deep into how a gothic fairy tale became one of horror’s most enduring and intelligent nightmares.

Join Planty and John as they whisper “Candyman” (only once, we promise) and explore race, class, and the power of belief that turned a local legend into a cinematic myth. Expect buzzing trivia, behind-the-scenes madness, and the sweetest blend of fear and fascination as we count down 100 terrifying, tragic, and totally fascinating things we learned from Candyman.

If you like what we do and want to support the show, you can join our Patreon for bonus episodes, early access, and exclusive movie polls plus a few sweet surprises we promise don’t involve mirrors or bees. Head to patreon.com/100thingsfilm and help us keep the lights on and the reels turning.
