Say his name five times if you dare. The Killer Point of View Podcast is back, kicking things off with a deep dive into the 1992 horror classic Candyman. We’re breaking down what makes this film so iconic—its chilling atmosphere, Tony Todd’s legendary performance, and its unforgettable urban legend roots.
But Candyman is more than just a horror movie. We explore how it tackles systemic racism and inequality through its haunting portrayal of Cabrini-Green, blurring the lines between folklore, psychological terror, and slasher brutality. Is Candyman truly a villain, or is he a victim of history? And where does the legend of Bloody Mary fit into the conversation?
Join us as we discuss our love (or fear) of this film, its lasting impact on horror, and why Candyman still has audiences looking over their shoulders.
Tune in… just don’t say his name.
