Say his name five times...we dare you! No, we double-dog dare you to. While Jason, Michael, Freddy, Pinhead & Leatherface were miles deep into their sequels; Tony Todd's hook-wielding, bee-stinging myth of a man was stepping into arguably one of the genre's most important films. 1992's Candyman dared to discuss racism, slavery and even how the horror genre treated people of color and women alike. While we've reached the conclusion that the film still is home to problematic aspects. It's not without merit to say, it's heart was in the right place. While we wait for the upcoming "spiritual" sequel, from Nia DaCosta, step back into nostalgia with the original that started it all.
