Candyman (1992)

Candyman, Candyman, Candyman. I sure hope you weren't sitting in a darkened bathroom staring at a mirror when you read this. In this week's episode, we explore the intricacies and nuance of 1992 classic Candyman. Directed by Bernard Rose and starring Virginia Madsen, Tony Todd, Xander Berkeley, Kasi Lemmons and, yes, Vanessa Williams, Candyman is a story about an urban legend that turns out to be true ... and hungry for a little notoriety and a lot of revenge. With the remake of this Clive Barker movie in the wings, its time we try to categorize just what's going on in Cabrini-Green.
