Day 16: Candyman

By Chantel Korhonen

I absolutely love Candyman for its story line. Based around an urban legend; Tony Todd does an amazing job at portraying a sadistic serial killer with a hook for a hand. He appears in the mirror after saying his name 5 times and haunts you until he successfully kills you. Alone Tony Todd’s acting makes this a favorite of mine, he is so terrifying and even goes as far as to put real bees in his mouth! Now that’s commitment! Virginia Madsen is one of my favorite actresses and is also amazing in her role as Helen. She captures what it would feel like to be in the presence of such a monster and blows me away every time I watch it. The story continues into a second movie but the original will forever be my favorite.
