Light & Shadow: A Horror Podcast

Candyman has always held a special position in the slasher genre. The upcoming adaptation by Jordan Peele and Nia DeCosta inspired me to revisit the original franchise, and have a conversation about it’s highs and lows with the crew from the Straight Chilling Podcast. In this special megacut, you can enjoy all three installments in one listen!

• Synopsis and History

• Sweets to the Sweet: The Lore of Candyman

• Be My Victim: Best kill

• Overall Thoughts

During the spring of 1692, a group of young girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women and men of witchcraft. These accusations sparked the infamous Salem witch trials, which resulted in the execution of 20 innocent people.

Today, Salem is a lovely tourist town and a haven for the weird and the spooky. My Mom and I spent a week in the Witch City to kick off our dark tourism travels and to celebrate her 60th birthday. Let’s wander the cobblestone streets and learn a bit of history shall we?
