The Movie: Candyman (1992)
What Is It?: Bernard
Rose and Cliver Barker provide a less-than-sweet antidote to the usual slasher
bullshit with a plot rich in back story, a sympathetic and elegant monster, and
scenes of grisly horror set in broad daylight. Tony Todd becomes an instant
horror icon as the title character.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1954, Tony Todd is born.
