      It implies choice, which all of his victims had before they chose to summon him. But it is only an implication once he's been called.

    I love that when he walks towards Helen, his footsteps have NO sound, signifying his status as rumor and a mythology powered by superstition come to life. That is such a great level of detail in filmmaking!

    I watched the making of this film, I've heard that the producers wanted that the scenes between Candyman and Helen were powerful, so they hired a true hypnotist for the actress who plays Helen to be hypnotized for the scenes in which she are in contact with Candyman. On the part 2:06 when she is weeping, she is under hypnosis.

    • @kadejito1
      @kadejito1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Yep...she says as much in the film commentary. She said everything got really dark when she was under hypnosis.
      But I wonder if it was even worth to hire the hypnotist I mean, it would have been nothing at all for her to let her face go slack and have someone apply a fake teardrop on her face just before the camera began rolling. The producers were pretty generous on this film.

    Ok so I saw this for the first time today and it was without a doubt one of the greatest, scariest films I've ever seen. The chick, Tony Todd, the setting - everything works perfectly and has not aged a day.
    But the MUSIC... It is a drug to listen to. For some reason chóir music was all the rage back in the 90s and it really gave so many great American movies a ghostly gothic vibe, it's a shame the trend died out.
    Oh and the 90s has the best films. Period. Grungy, real and very deep always.

    All the sequels have it wrong: You don't summon Candyman by saying his name in the mirror. That's the popular story, but it doesn't work; earlier in the film, when Helen says his name, nothing happens.
    Instead, it's just like he says in this scene: He came because her research threatened to debunk the myths about him. To prevent that from happening, he now has to create a new story for people to share--because without a legend, he can't exist.
    That's the real reason he comes for her. The other films in the franchise seem to ignore this--or just didn't notice to begin with?

      Thank you! Everyone has this collective Mandela effect on what they remember from the sequels (Gore/Slasher mindlessness) and then have the nerve to say the reboot wasn't scary. Bitch! The original wasn't meant to be scary! It's meant to be creepy and tragic.

    @ignoranceandwant 15 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Whereas, say, the Nightmare on Elm Street films were scary due to the special visual FX, the true heroes of Candyman are composer Philip Glass and Nigel Holland and his sound crew. I think Candymans voice was created by having Tony Todd whisper into the mike and then amplifying it and adding bass resonance.
    P.S. how many horror films do you know that have scary scenes set in the daytime?
