The Candyman Trilogy - The Cinema Snob 

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.

It reminds me a lot of the first Hellraiser.

@@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

@@gregorymelissinos337 It pretty much just Dracula with elements of The Ring mixed in. With mirrors instead of VHS tape.

@LIKE WOA U CAN'T CANCEL ME I mean. . . you say that? But you'd be in the minority in thinking it. I wasn't boring. It just wasn't your speed.

Professor Benjamin Franklin von Beethoven was pretty damn good

Damn straight. He's in a lot of B horror movies, but he clearly could've done so much more. Maybe it's a case where that's not what he wanted? I don't know, but he definitely could've.

He was also the best part of the Final Destination films

I think he was typecast sadly. He’s definitely capable of more than just horror

@@strifenineteen Devon Sawa is also a highlight in the first movie. I just have a soft spot for him.

Jake sisko was played by Cirroc Lofton. Tony Todd is pretty amazing though & does elevate most everything he is in, like this, The Rock, The Crow, the Final Desination movies, The Flash and all the voice work he has done for animated works...such an iconic voice.

One of those rare movies that I watch a little bit of and get nightmares. Not a lot of movies have done that.

what about the new candyman?

My sister and I rented this movie when we were kids. The cashier at the video storw gave is some shit for ir, but still rented it to us. It's one pf my favorite horror movies.

I would watch the hell outta that

Would it replace the Sommers Mummy movie or the Dark Universe one, cause I don’t want the Brendan Fraiser version to not exist and prefer the Tom Cruise one to disappaear

That would’ve been AWESOME!

A black man as high priest for the pharaoh? He would have been killed faster than the guy that played the role. Someone doesn't know their history lol 😆😂

@Lord Trigon Barker wanted to do a Mummy adaptation? (Dig the profile pic BTW 🖤)

And he has such sights to show you.....😎

There were plans for a candyman vs hellraiser movie.

@@el-kiote What happened?!

@@el-kiote what happened? It would’ve worked so well!

Then they turn out to be brothers, so they can put it in the Fast & Furious franchise 🤨🙄🧐

if eddie's candyman performance is anything like his performance in vampire in brooklyn, i'd say he'd be.......interestingto see, at the least

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

With a hook like injury in the back of her head/neck. Ya think the paramedics would be more concerned.

Pleeeeaaaaase, Snob Fans! Please!

And he turns back into Freddy Krueger after taking a bite.

That gives me an idea: Snickers with honey in it mixed in with the nougat and peanuts as a limited edition for the Candyman re-make's debut! :D

@@SpeedyEric1 it would be funnier the other way, if Freddy Krueger had a Snickers and became Tony Todd.

Do you know what a deep voice is? I love the Snob but he does not have a deep voice. He has a nasal white guy voice, which makes his line delivery hilarious

@@greenkoopa Pretty sure that they are referring to when the Snob purposefully puts on a deeper voice...

Both him and Kieth David are tied,

Check out Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive" for a nice recent vampire movie. Tom Hiddleston looks like Simon Pegg in "The World's End" and Andrew Eldritch (frontman of The Sisters of Mercy). There's also "The Strain" TV-series based on the books co-written by Guillermo del Toro.

@@cowboyquebecanimations3068 Thanks a lot. Now I have to go watch the fight scene between Keith David and Roddy Piper in They Live and then The Thing to see him fight with Kurt Russell. KD is pure gold and Tony Todd is a true legend!

I ate those as a kid and it was marked where you could break off pieces. Kinda like a Hershey lol. Bit 'o honey is awesome and I still dig it.

The 1st is one of the greatest horror movies IMO.

It really is. It’s almost operatic.

So good I love It

I love seeing people review this film, which goes to show that when you have a great story, people will talk about it for years to come The Godfather is the same way

And then there’s the third film..

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?

@@officiallyjan8596 I don’t think so, he was stung in the mouth during the filming of the first film, and throughout the series, he was stung 26 times.

@@johnschou2172 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call Mr. Todd really earning his money!

I had heard that it was Tony Todd who was allergic to bees, although I must've heard wrong as I had no idea it was Madsen who was allergic. Who knows, maybe both of them had an allergy? Either way, the two of them were awfully brave for doing that scene.

Is that adjusted for inflation?

I like that scene too. It looks so…idk, unnatural? And weird.

Yeah why didn't he just disappear like he appears when his name is called

I love that part too

@Tad Law He should review it.

@Tad Law DEFINITELY. Good call. God, I love Michael Wincott as the villain.

And Highlander!

@@kathefter3160 Oh. My. Gosh. I kind of forgot that it had sequels.

@@stefanfilipovits21 Top Dollar was boss.

Groundskeeper Willy played Freddy Krueger in one of the Tree houses of horror episodes….it was amazing

@@ReelNinja1 Treehouse of Horror VI, same episode with Homer winding up in the real world after he inadvertently destroyed the 3D digital world that he found while hiding from Patty and Selma.

Well said

@@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

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.

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

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?"

If you think part 2 wasn't good , wait until you see part 3 . God that was so bad .

from what i understand, he is not playing candyman in this new one but he'll have a minor role out of respect for his contributions to the franchise

@@darlordvader Maybe he will transform into a younger body or something. Other than that i don't want him in a cameo that is not Candyman. Imagine him being in the movie in another pointless cameo role...

@@mrblonde609 I just saw the movie opening night. it was great, i don't want to say too much except I get why Tony Todd isn't Candyman in this movie (spoiler wise)

@Hamburger Stalker did you end up seeing it or no? Curious as I saw it opening night and everyone I went with enjoyed it.

No you didn't. Lol

13:26 he was smooth.

@@coasterdaydreams7150 same to you

@@DollyBelladonna COYR! I was so relieved to see the response because for a moment after I sent it I had the thought, "oh no, please dont be one of those Blue cretins that haunt Merseyside! (and the mid to lower tier of the EPL. LOL). Cheers to you! :)

TRAMMERRR!

I want one.

Is there any romantic movie he’s been in? I can see him nailing that role.

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin I mean he...LOVES murdering

Yessss!!! He was clearly having so much fun chewing scenery and being hammy. Like, he’s an actor who can have fun yet still be undeniably creepy and unsettling.

He's so good

Idk if I should see the new candyman

@@gabrielleelliott500 it’s good. Definitely better than Malignant.

Yep. Instead he was originally an ugly redhead. . . . Something tells me a bunch of people are going to use this knowledge as an example of ginger erasure.

@@BigK13372 Funny, cuz i find most redheads sexy as heck. :p

@@ARedMagicMarker Okay. Doesn’t change that Candyman was originally conceived as being unattractive in the original story

@@BigK13372 i think groundskeeper willie would've made a great candyman!😆

@@el-kiote LOL! But now you have said that, you are 100% right!

Tony is legend and sexy asf

@CHARLIE BROWN Umm, ok? That actually is me in my pic btw. Just with the lighting and the hood on my head, it came out like that, and I thought it was pretty cool.

Do what now?

Is that true?!?!

@@stefanfilipovits21 Yuuuuuup! I looked it up after I saw this comment. A lady in Chicago was murdered by someone that came through her mirror. A lady in NYC just recently discovered a hole behind her bathroom mirror big enough to crawl through, which she did. There was a whole ass empty apartment through the hole. She posted about it on TikTok. Old apartment buildings in big ass cities are fucking nightmares.

@@dboone7670 JFC 😧

@@stefanfilipovits21 That is the appropriate reaction

I do now

The 2nd one was soo good

Hand that rocks the cradle was a classic!!

No, that was the part of the language that the natives spoke in that Ace Ventura movie.

@@briankelly130 What????

@@grapeshot In the second Ace Ventura movie, one of the people in the tribe talks to Ace, Ace responds by saying "Bumblebee Tuna" because it sounds kind of like what the native said.

@@briankelly130 but what does that have to do with them being the tuna company that was catching dolphins in their fishing nets? I was just asking a question was that the company.

@@grapeshot Oh. I don't know about that, I was just making a joke.

Actually, that's groundskeeper wille

@@jaredsamples6969 eh same difference, both things have accents and probably red hair lol
