Notice me senpai, notice me
Thank you so much for the Kill Count!
Dead Meat great work keep it up
Hooray 😁
It's so touching how the WHOLE HOOD pulled up to Helens funeral
Right? That always got me.
She did save the baby, and got rid of their legend, so of course they had to honor her like that.
@@yapyapthedestroyer2562
Yeah but it’s still funny
@@arnahunas4048 I guess
I love that part. Can’t find that scene anywhere on here which sucks 😞
Trevor thought he got away with cheating but Helen didn't let him off the hook that easy.
@@re1ive456 hehehe
Lol underrated comment
I see what you did there 😁
I love it.
Tyler Carr your right, now I bet that she doesn’t even want to bee his friend
The fact Tony Todd apologised to for scaring the actress is honestly so sweet. Bless him.
Yeah the director was kind of a piece of shit for making him do that
Speaks of his personal and professional character.
@@corimoon3360 other fun fact if you look at some of the shots during the video you can see that Helen kinda looks like lady Gaga
Wait whatd he do to the actress
@@brianmalonga1257 he scared her
I love how much iconography Candyman gets to claim. Jason has the hockey mask and machete. Freddy has the hat, sweater, and glove. Candyman has the hook, the bees, the mirrors, the trenchcoat, and the candy.
🐢
AND the hypnotic voice.
Mirrors
Bloody Mary:
And the man , Tony muffucking Todd
NOT THE BEES! AHHH
Candyman: “Be my victim.”
Me: “I like your funny words, magic man.”
Lmao
IM GONNA SOB I LOVE YOU 💔💔💔 /p
lol
🤣
guys it's miles edgeworth
So you’re trying to tell me, Tony’s sexy voice is literally his natural voice? This whole time I thought they used effects
MootGuy it’s amazing right! The original ASMR king.
@@HeatherHolt he isn't a king, he's the ASMR God

Imagine being the baby actor and being hand fed honey by one of the most badass urban legend ghost, awesome...
Ironically that would actually be evil. Babies under 12 months can't have honey.
@@it_butters_the_bean2343 it’s more due to the risk of infant botulism
I hated reading every single comment under this😂. However it’s good info so I’m glad I know now
I like how the kid was just disappointed rather than relieved when Helen told him Candyman wasn't real. It's hilarious
I think his reaction was more one of annoyance at her statement, like, "Candyman ain't real? Bitch please I know he is"
So Candyman's actor legit felt bad for that one scare? Sounds like Candyman's also a Dandyman.
😂😂😂
With the clothes he wearing he a classic man
Handy man
Who knew candyman had a soft side.
Well thas shnice

the way Candyman stares at Bernadette before killing her is genuinely bone chilling

Agree 💯 percent

Tony Todd has one of the most prolific voices in horror.

@@tycrase He even appears in the Final Destination movies, too
It’s Sierenaa u buggin
Tony Todd : *exists*
James: *heavy breathing*
Ayye, dudes a legend. Perfect creepy actor.
I always felt a strong attraction to Candyman. He speaks seductively and tempting. He was an intelligent villain and makes "be my victim" sound alluring.

This has one of the best horror soundtracks of all time, and a great ending that gets looked over in the sequels. Thanks for covering the series James :)
What are you doing next
Dude keep up the great work and I hope you get a chance to do a candyman evolution.
Hey make an evolution of candy man!!
@@littendalilboi1096 Maybe if the 4th film releases!
The 4th film is called Candyman
I’m sure anybody would be Tony Todd’s victim with his presence and deep villain voice.
Bees tho.
I've said that before. How could anyone refuse?
@@JohnGardnerAlhadisSome things are worth the bees
@@ohgodohnothebees NOT THE BEES!
Fun fact - the audio from when Helen wakes up in the bathroom and the woman is sobbing was sampled for the game "American McGee's Alice". It plays in the background of the Duchess' boss theme.
Shit that's cool AMA is still a banger of a video game OST
such great memories from that game!!!
Wait for real? Looks like I’m going to have to revisit it~ thanks for the fun fact!! ✨
As a kid in the 90s I was scared to death of Chucky and Candyman why??? Because they were both based and filmed in Chicago my hometown 😂
Same
Tee Culture
Lol
U and me both pal
I'm also from Chicago 👌😂 I understand the fear
Pretty good reason to be scared.
"Straight up yeets himself out the window"
Why am I laughing so hard at this?
Did you know, that the act of yeeting someone out of a window is called defenestration?
@@botondszilagyi3713 I never knew that. Thanks for this information.
Although I think "yeet" sounds more fun
Candyman: ight I’ma head out
*yeet* 😂😂
Bill Cipher I thought to myself when he yeeted himself out the window “I believe I can flyyyyyy” 😂😂
James always puts a touch of humor in the kill counts, like he referred Detective Valento as the King of Cartoons from Pee-wee's Playhouse (because, ironically, they were played by the same actor)
The fact tony let bees into his mouth for the role shows how dedicated he is to his craft.
Candyman: James, be my victim.
James: (jumps into Candyman’s arms so he’s holding him bridal style) Not. A. Problem!
Probably one of the best comments about James simping for Candyman 👆
Candyman has the sickest voice ever. I want to be read bedtime stories by that voice.
I’d smash him
Hi
he and lance reddick are the best voices of the industry
Think of Tony reading 'The Raven' !
I want him to be my dad
my dad keeps playing the candyman theme on the piano- i mean it's beautiful but dad can you not 💀
😆
Damn that’s great
True story. My Wife Kahlie’s Dad, when she was a little girl, found out that she was afraid of the Halloween theme cause it “sounded creepy”. He then proceeded to play it randomly throughout her childhood to freak her out. So even though she’s a huge horror fan, when we met in college, she’d never seen the Carpenter classic. She’d built up such trauma over the theme music she was subconsciously certain that Halloween would be scary on a level she wouldn’t be able to handle. After many years of being in a relationship, I was able to finally convince her to give it a try. And after all that build up, there was only one review possible:
“Was that it?”
@@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6 thank you for the story that was great
@@SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6 i very much enjoyed that story interesting from start the finish with the best ending possible. i thank u for sharing
fun fact: the baby named "Anthony" is the main character in the new upcoming remake that is coming out this year.
dude don't spoil it
@@divinethesavage3202 I literally learned this from the trailer
I watched that movie today it was quite good
@Gremblo it was quite good
@@donutaa6168 I’m just going to say I could tell 3 different people wrote it. Also the last 20 minutes seemed like it was a different movie if that makes sense
That scene with Anne Marie shaking the bloody crib while screaming bloody murder is fucking chilling. That whole scene is so fucking traumatizing
I love all of Tony Todds roles nobody can do a menacing voice like him.
I agree. His voice is very menacing and chilling. He would be great narrating horror novels. And maybe even mystery novels as well.
Tim curry
You play Valkyrie crusade?
@@CourtFool yeah
Yeah,his voice is very hot 😍😘💋
I like to imagine Candyman and Helen together as a crazy, murderous, couple after she died
Probably in the mirror dimension (or wherever their spirits exists)
I cant imagine it any other ther
I love candy man
i see that as a happy ending
Honestly, same.
One of the few horror villains that is actually tragic as well as terrifying. He didn't deserve what happened to him or what he became. Makes him stand out. His back story is heartbreaking.
12:55 James reacts to the Candyman the same way the internet does with Lady Dimitrescu
Oh he is called Candyman, he must use candy as a wepon
Candyman: NOPE, bee time
Ahem you mean BEE TIME BITCH
Honey is made by bees and is candy so you right
Bees make honey......honey is sweet........like candy🤔
His weapon is a hook
New john wick lol
Candy Man wants Helen to BEE his valentine.
I’ll see myself out now.
Don’t see. That was a good joke. Seriously.
you mean you'll BEE yourself out now?
That was actually pretty good
Hahaha Comedy
yeah see ya
Candyman is such a groundbreaking movie, having a Black horror villain, the issues of race and gang violence, that I'm looking forward to Jordan Peele's remake later this year.
He's the first ever African American slasher movie villain
Jordan Peele is just the producer I think. Nia DaCosta is the writer and director.
@@skyofthelivingdead Jordan Peel is the writer as well as producer for it.
@@georgecarmody8731 but Nia DaCosta directed it which has the most impact on the final film. Scripts change at the flip of a dime and producers only have limited sway. At the end of the day the director and the studio control a film and it's vision.
@@j.murray5656 yeah, that’s true. Can you tell me what a producer even does because o have no idea
I was born 4 years after Candyman released. But, it was and is still such a famous movie. My older cousins who saw this movie used to scare me with the whole "Candyman" chant, and I think I had actual nightmares when I saw the infamous bee scene.
Now that I'm older, I'm kinda interested to watch the new sequel coming out in August.

Can we just talk about the fact that James had to blur stacy's chest every time she's on screen?
Why?
@@expectedeyeball8049 The shirt was probably see through with no bra, which would've gotten the video demonetized.
Realistic boob jiggle physics
ikr
@@expectedeyeball8049 Because her shirts don't actually do anything. I've seen the movie.
The craziest thing (in my opinion) about the studio not allowing an interracial kiss in this movie is that it came out the same year as "The Bodyguard" with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, the first movie with an interracial relationship where their race wasn't a theme
I absolutely love the fact that most actors who play villains/horror movies slashers are usually the sweetest and most caring of their fellow cast and crew 🥺❤️
i just realized that Candyman's catchphrase could be his own morbid pun.
"Bee my victim."
*badum tzzz*
@@leizeepinx1522 Badum Bzzzzzz*
Oh nice
*replaces hook with with bee stinger*
@@walterwhitecookingchannel8912Babumble Bzzzz.
I think we can all agree that the true villain of this story is Helen's smarmy husband. At least Candyman wanted a relationship. LOL!
True. Because she was the one disproving him, killing her and having her join him makes his desire to have her special. Some random young woman won't do, it has to be Helen. Meanwhile the man who is supposed to be there for her is off screwing one of his students and starts redecorating their apartment when she was incarcerated in the mental hospital. The murderous malevolent spirit was more of a romantic and showed more appreciation than the asshole. Plus he's cultured. There's just something about a calm cultured villain. They're better than your average psychopath.
@@Japaneseanimeguy but can u blame her husband for being with his student she was fine as fuck
@@aaroncoatsfam9567 The age gap makes me want to throw up.
@@aaroncoatsfam9567 Yes, because he was MARRIED.
@@jimini.e.swings that don't mean shit all that is is a price of paper I don't believe in marriage u know how many marriages fail in the US a year
I fucking love the “Be my victim” bit. Tony Todd’s performance is scary and alluring. I definitely want Tony to do a lot of voice work.
7:45 The whole thing about opening up the backs of bathroom mirrors was a really interesting touch in this story. The high rises in poor areas were all built the same all across certain areas in the US. People found out if you removed the bathroom mirror / cabinet, behind it would be a cavity for pipes that led straight into the adjacent apartment. With nothing but a slide on backing stopping someone coming in. A common way for people in bad neighbourhoods to burgle houses from empty apartments into homed ones. A woman was killed this way in NYC when teens came through her bathroom wall and were caught by her, thinking the apartment was empty. They put everything back together so well on their way out people had no idea how it could have happened. Scary stuff.
Damn
Dude, you're totally right! Candyman is darkly romantic like The Phantom of the Opera!

Came to rewatch this after seeing the Jordan peele candy man trailer I can’t wait !
Me too!
it's so good.
I'm loving James swooning over Candyman XD
Question: does Candyman keep track of how many times someone says his name, so someone that said it 4 times 10 years ago says it one more time, or is there a statute of limitations on how many times it's said?
That's actually a good question.

ok now, if I have 240 pieces of paper and 6 people how many pieces of paper per person?
@@benjaminrandall4827 uhhhh... carry the four and uhhhh... it just doesnt work
You missed one of the most interesting parts:
"I negotiated a bonus of $1,000 for every sting during the bee scene. And I got stung 23 times. Everything that’s worth making has to involve some sort of pain. Once I realized it was an important part of who Candyman was, I embraced it. It was like putting on a beautiful coat."
- Tony Todd
A beautiful coat indeed.
beeautiful
So he legit got 23,000+
Wow
Hotdog, Tony was lucky to make that deal.
The way Tony apologized for scaring Virginia Madsen makes me think about how the actors who're mostly known for playing villains always seem to be super chill in real life

Tony Todd got a bonus of $1,000 for every bee sting he took. Apparently he was stung 23 times
Dang- That must've hurt real bad
Dang! That's a lot of dough!
Lol I like that the 2 comments before mine are like two different dialogue options in a game
Would be closer to $2000 a bee sting in today's money.
@@sgtarchdornan2077 LOL You got that right! Now, CHOOSE!!!
But can we just have a moment of silence for all the bees that have now passed away they’re acting was so good probably the best acting I would’ve seen in my lifetime
There's an alternate universe where horror movies are equally recognised and respected as other ganres. Its a beautiful world where Oscars are given to actors who deserved them, and weren't just denied because the movies aren't for kids
Everytime Tony Todd was stung on set he was paid $1,000 as negotiated in his contract (26 times)
Wow. Damn, I feel bad for that guy lmao they should've gave him 9,000 for each sting. That must've hurt like hell!
Firegirl Productions probably not actually since most of them were baby bees
That contract was written by Mrbeast.
$1k each? I'd be taunting the shit outta those bees
@@danisplatking7636 MRBEAST is not born yet I think or he might be just a kid
Fun fact: There is a character played by Tony Todd in the 3rd Season of MTV's Scream where that character pays an homage to Mr. Todd's role as Candyman.
Golden Eye wow I never noticed that, but now hearing his candyman voice the zoom voice is coming back to me
RyGoesPOP he had a Hook, that’s why
And Tony Todd is slated to make a cameo in the new Candyman movie coming out next year
Fun Fact: Tony Todd negotiated 1,000$ each time he got stung.
He walked away with 23,000$
Damn only 23

Friday the 13th : A series famous for bloody kills especially in Part 3 - 7 in the 1980s alone and only getting a R rating
Candyman : 18:48 Nearly getting a NC-17 rating due to one scene that isn’t bloody enough compared to the boat scene and shark explosion from Jaws.
Candyman is easily one of the best horror movies ever
Can we take a minute to appreciate how James takes the time to explain Candyman's racial significance instead of just glossing over it? Thanks James.
Not only that but he also acknowledged his lack of expertise and gave sources
This dude is honestly amazing
@@barryseikko479 Your profile picture is amazing as well :)
I’m guessing that a white girl typed this
nice pfp
Wow, I didn't know those bees were really in Tony's mouth. I was waiting for Dead Meat to say they made a prosthetic of Tony's head which is what we see the bees in. That's impressive.

Good thing he had saran wrap in his mouth.
Bees will vibe pretty well as long as nothing pisses them off. I had a bee resting on my knee once for several minutes, and I made sure to stay absolutely still until it left...although I'm not sure if I would've done as well if it was in my mouth.
@@embercoral same accept it landed on my eyebrow I was trying so hard not to flinch
Fun fact: Philip Glas, the guy who composed this movie’s music, also made the music for the Dr. Manhattan origin story scene in Watchman.
No spoilers, but I just saw the new Candyman. It may not be until the end of the year or sometime in 2022, but I can't wait for you to cover it one day. That's all I''m going to say.
My uncle worked on it
Gross
compared to the Friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street remakes both by Michael Bay, which no, that movie was amazing. Jordan Peele is a great producer, writer, and director. I've watched all his horror movies, and I've never been disappointed.
yess it was so good
@@melt_brain Michael Bay was actually involved in those? I legit always thought that was a joke the few times I'd heard him mentioned. Why the fuck do studios keep giving beloved properties to Michael Bay? Or, you know, giving money to him in general? He's made very few, if any, competent films as a director. The best he's done is blindly copy what some studio executive *thinks* worked about another movie. As for his ability as a producer...tbh I'm not convinced producers should have any artistic input on a film or the ability to veto the ideas of the actual artists, so that's kinda neither here nor there - if he was a producer on a bad movie, it's possible he's why it's bad, while if he's produced a good film, it's probably the result of the actual artists that made it.
I can’t help but think about how beautiful the ending of this movie is.
its so clive barker, i loved it :)
The story's ending is similar, but even better..
Actually if I was ever killed by acfcitend I wouldn't want my killers to be on my funeral

Tony's voice literally is hypnotizing ❤❤
Plot twist, Candyman is really just Willy Wonka killing people because his chocolate factory got shut down by health and safety because kids kept on coming out of it with unusual deformities after having a tour
Bloody mary: i kill teens for fun
Candyman: hold my bees
*No,No Just No*
Ha
Jason too
Your likes are 69😂😂😂tr3yway
Mmmm bees. Yum.
I think him saying "it was always you" had a few meanings. The first would be its literal meaning, that she was the one to do the killings (she was just in a posessed state, but it was physically her doing the killings)
But i think the second is a symbolic meaning, that helen was actually Caroline in a past life, and thats why candyman was so obsessed with her and doing killings with her.
I know this is 2 years late, but my favorite interpretation is that there was never a man who died to begin with, and that Candyman is sort of a tulpa-esque being that exists from the sheer belief of people
I saw this film for the first time last night, and the score blew me away. I was glad to hear someone else immediately acknowledge it.
I absolutely love how the film deals with its message. It’s never preachy, it feels genuine in a way that everyone can love and appreciate
Fun Fact: Tony Todd is the voice of Zoom on The Flash.
Thats an amazing fact 😄
He also voiced Darkseid in the Reign of the Supermen movie!
Tony Todd needs to be the narrator in every movie i will ever watch
What!? I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know. New info. Now my brain ain't hungry anymore.

@@Doodles1265 so you gon disagree and say she wasn't an attractive woman?
I like to joke around and say Stephen Kings IT was the movie that traumatized me into becoming a horror fan, but Candyman was the one that made me fall in love with the genre. It’s become my comfort movie❤

What an excellent video about Candyman! I saw this movie when I was very young, in fact too young. Some of the scenes REALLY scared and creeped me out, like the mutilated kid on the bathroom floor, even the woman's death where her blood leaks from the ceiling scared the hell out of me. The one that really disturbed me was the very bloody dog head scene and the woman wailing because she thought it was her baby. Great review and behind-the-scenes explanations. I always wondered about that bee kissing scene...
Normal person: candy man must mean he uses candy to kill people.
Book writer: *BEES*
Nerd Incorporated oh, sorry I didn’t know. I’ll change it.
I mean it makes sense because bees create honey and honey used to be the "candy" back in the day. Or it was used alot to make candy
@@placeholder29 ya huh
I love how there is a prop in the background that relates to the film in each video.
@@fritzy8318 He didn't say anything offensive, gotta chill man
@@fritzy8318 how is that rude
So I kinda love this movie despite never actually watching it myself. First off the Candyman is just so cool especially with how he’s portrayed by his wonderful actor.
I also love the use of a hypnotist as it’s honestly a fascinating practice that’s underutilized for serious projects.
If anyone is unaware real hypnotism isn’t the same thing as stage hypnotism. Real hypnotism cannot be done on someone unwilling or non susceptible to it.
For example you may be able to get someone to tell you something that they have locked in their subconscious if they want to know it. But you can’t get them to commit a crime. It’s not mind control.
Alternatively you can’t force someone who’s not perceptible to be put into a trance. Some people are just unable to give themselves to it
When I first heard about Candyman, I thought it was going to be a horror movie about an actual Candyman (similar to ice cream man but with candy). Instead it was something way different but still good, before it became a franchise and became a cheesy slasher killer movie.
The bisexual experience is crushing on Helen and candy man at the same time
yes. but especially helen. i love her hair in this movie
@@skvllbone1594 but dat voice tho! As a fellow deep voiced dude, I am proud of my boi
It happens every time I see this movie lol
Virginia Madsen is severely underrated on every level.
The candy man's voice tho it's so *enticing*
“I am the writing on wall, the whispers in the classroom. Without these things, I am nothing; so now I must shed innocent blood. Come with me”
Such a classic line, Candyman is a top ten horror movie in my book
Thank you
I can agree.
Forrest is one of the cutest FE characters everrr
Revisiting this after seeing the new one. Seriously love these movies
