Tony Todd negotiated that every time he was stung, he needed to be paid $1,000. He walked away with $23,000

Both Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen have very expressive eyes. If either one were not there the film would have been significantly different.

Tony Todd’s voice is like that of a fallen angel.

I swear there’s something so soothing about Tony Todd’s voice, wa’ll at the same time being downright terrifying as Candyman.

"Come with me,and be immortal." This is my favorite. And this scene always makes me cry😭😭

The way he smiled when he realized she came to him. Very beautiful movie

I love how they did the old 1940's style Film Noir effect on Virginia Madsen's face. Also i love the Candyman's voice and his pimp coat. This scene is eerily romantic. I love how she just gives in to the Candyman while he takes her in his arms.

Interesting to note how sad the look in his eyes is after he kisses her. Such a strange, complex character.

He's taking her and the baby as a replacement for the family he lost....

Candyman's voice is the definition of seductive.

Candyman had no business being this romantic.

Pay attention, modern movie makers. This is how you make a good villain. A villain that is both sympathetic and terrifying. A monster that is simultaneously gentle and brutal. There is none other quite like The Candyman. I feel like this is a lost art, and The Candyman should go down in history alongside Frankenstein's monster, the Phantom of the Opera, or even Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights.

I just love how Candyman is just sleeping

That bee scene is real no cgi for that Tony todd got stung over 23 times he earned a 1000 dollars each sting

This scene is just perfect in my opinion. The subdued score that explodes with the bees, the monologue that's almost seducing, the fact that that bees are actually real and in Tony's mouth, the freaking spinning hypnosis shot... Everything is actually perfect

fun fact : Virginia Madsen was hypnotized and given a trigger phrase on set for her scenes with Tony Todd{Candyman).

Those bees were all real and were bred specifically for the movie. Both Madsen and Todd were sprayed with some type of queen bee pheromone to make all of the bees crawl over them and there was an ambulance on set ready to take Madsen to the hospital if she ever got stung because she's actually allergic to bees.

This movie is SO underrated

To keep the bees from going down his throat, Tony Todd had a dental dam in the back of his mouth. Oh, and those were newborn bees, hence less chance of getting stung and that they looked like adult bees

“Your mine now, It’s time for a new miracle” the whole time he was talking to Anthony

His expression at 2:17 and 2:48 always makes me tear up for some reason. The first time I watched this movie I legitimately cried and I'm not really sure why, exactly. He just seems so despairing. Like there's still some human in him after all, and it's pained by his actions, and that really gets to me.

The thing that makes me think is when I see the painting of what happened to him. After all the terrible things you see his ghost do in the movie. Once you see how he got that way. You feel sorry for him deep down. You really get the sense that the world has a side to it that doesn't care about anyone.

The baby is the guy from the new movie. Watch.

His voice is oddly beautiful, haunting and calming at the same time

Luv candy mans voice creepy and chilling

This is so romantic.

It was always you Helen....

2:32 one of the most beautiful shots in horror movies!

one of the most beautiful and romantic slasher movies i"ve ever watch

"The pain..I can assure you..will be exquisite."

I was lucky to catch this film in the theater when it was new and a bit of a phenomenon. I saw it on a date and my gf was really spooked! Todd plays Candyman with a presence that is, in a strange way, so affirmative of love, ardor and the masculine spirit that I walked a little taller next to her as we left the theater that night.

Helen was so beautiful 😍

This feels like a 50s movie made in the 90s i love it

There was apparently supposed to be a longer sequence of Helen and Candyman, but due to the views on interracial couples at the time, it had to be cut down drastically

I dreamed of heartbrake last night, Seems as though the world is against me. Yet I knew in my heart greatness awaits me. Hearing this "Come with me and be immortal" It is like a calling

One of the most greatest, iconic, and memorable scenes in the whole entire movie as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps. 😍💯😎👍😰😱

I love the combination of the piano score and Tony Todd’s voice. They mesh so well together.

I kinda feel bad tony Todd looked at her and started to cry a bit 🥺

At this point in the movie i was drooling in traumatization!!!! This film shoock me to my coreeeee

Idk why 2:48 when he looks up then down ...gives me the feels

This feels so current. Watched this movie as a teen. Time goes by so fucking fast. Dayum.

"It's time, for a new miracle." It all makes sense now regarding the 2021 film.

1:10 God damn she's beautiful

He crying talking bout surrender to me now 😂😂😂

Great underrated actor that Tony Todd is. The chemistry between him and Virginia Madsen was great 👍.

That so beautiful miss lost lover poor candyman

Student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) learns of the terrifying local legend of The Candyman-a hooked serial killer who appears when you say his name in a mirror, five times. Her investigations of The Candyman legend lead her to his fabled haunts. But, when she ignores locals' warnings, a series of gruesome murders begins. Could the legend really be true?

Virginia Madsen was a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner😮😮😮😮❤️❤️❤️❤️

So sickening, having bees crawling all over you.

I read a comment regarding the sad expression on Candyman's face after kissing Helen. I don't think it was anything specific. You have to understand, he never chose to be a supernatural urban legend that kills people, he was forced into this fate by racist dipsh!ts who punished him for falling in love with a woman with a different skin color, he was an innocent person who did nothing wrong, its a tragic story and I actually like how they give a legitimate reason for him becoming a monster. Not many horror movies give reasons for showing sympathy twords the villain, Candyman however you can't help but feel sorry for him. The only other villains I can think of off the top of my head who people can sympathize with is Jason Voorhees because of the neglectful circumstances that lead to him drowning as a child. And Michael Myers because he was cursed by an ancient pagan cult (Thorn) as a child, which forced him to kill everyone of his own bloodline/family, which is a horrible fate for someone to be forced into. Holloween 5 touched on this when they show a close up of Michael shedding a tear, as if his human side was crying out for help from the depths of the abyss of torment he's forced to endure.

2:17 the way he looked at her is so passionate

As smooth as Candyman’s voice is he’d could run a party line called 1-900-B-E-E-Z Nuts and women would still call😂

He got paid 1k for each bee sting he got stung 23 times 😂

The spinning scene they kissed but took that out cause of interracial relationships

That spurting of blood at around 1:02 Great shit!

I adore classics

Reel bees. Stung 23 times.

Bees : You heard the man,Let's move out!!! 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

When helen looks at the bees on her hand candyman has his jacket open then you look again and he is opening his jacket to show his chest.

The music in this scene is so fucking awesome I wanna know what its called

The Only Black Male Serial Killer who kills with a hook and bees is CANDYMAN

Here after the Candyman Reboot trailer And his starting to become my favourite horror movie slasher along with Jason and Michael

Wow, that Organ music as he reveals his torso, that's how it's done to show suspense . . .

THATS NOT FAIR I ALSO WANNA KISS HIM 😭

I remember watching this scene with my older sister when I was younger and I remembered it actually gave me nightmares especially to a kid who had a fear of bees

Lesson in pimpery....when the woman is about to put out, do not fuck it up by whipping out your hive ass ribcage. She dont wanna see that shit....

I've never heard a voice that could soothe me to death

I swear I wanna have his voice SO BAD!!! It’s so soothing my yet terrifying

This song sounds death to make deal to save one innocent child be worthy to give a life to save one

Poor Tony Todd had to really undergo the pain of having to be stung with real Bees inside his Mouth. They should've hired Rob Bottin to create a life-like Animatronic Head of Tony Todd to use for close up shots to stuff real Bees into the Mouth without having the real Tony Todd to undergo the painful stinging in his own Mouth.

One of the most greatest, iconic, and memorable scenes in horror cinema as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps. 😍💯😎👍😰😱

this is like a horror version of the phantom of the opera

In this particular scene candyman seduces Helen to make her join him. The baby is used as bait, because he knew that she would come searching for him and she knew where to go. Daniel Robitaille and Caroline love story was briefly told during the dinner scene with Helen, Bernadette, husband's and a colleague.

Woah, what is his hook doooiiingg?

I'd love an in-depth analysis of this film. Like, the wiki mentions how it was written to examine race and folklore in the US, but I'd also be fascinated by a deconstruction of the relationship between these two characters, narratively and contextually. A black man falls in love with a white woman, gets lynched, and his legacy is twisted by pain. A privileged white woman encroaches on a world she doesn't understand and, though she suffers, comes out a hero(?). Her spirit lives on in rage. Like...is that a metaphor for the progress from Just Curious, to Ally? Idk. Can't wait for the new movie anyway.

I can't believe they really hypnotized sis. Virgina is the truth!

You knew that Ronny all had to fill his mouth full of bees. And the only thing he protected was a type of mouth guard and he also took several bee stings.

-Ты боишься боли или смерти? -Всего. -Не бойся!!! Сильный момент!!!

I'm no longer afraid of this movie. I saw it when I was a kid.

I bet they wanted the bees to fly out of his mouth when he opened it. Shame it didn't happen.

2:08 axxturel reference 😱😱😱😱

I really hope the candyman reboot is good its produced by Jordan Peele (get out,Us,The Twilight Zone 2019) it should have something to do with clive Barker himself as well. Fun fact in clive's original short story candyman himself is a white dude who was killed

I think we can all agree that the scariest part of this whole movie is the sound track...

I was watching the movie last night and when I saw what was underneath his big coat, I was so terrified and disgusted. 🤢😨

he has a sad face when the bees come I think he just wants to kill them all but he can't I think it is apart of his curse.

JEWEL XXETTTTT

This scene used to fuck me up when I was a kid ....

It's not a horror film but a love story

The bees always get me. Especially with the headphones on.

I remember watching a interview with todd and he said that they we’re originally suppose to kiss romantically but The director didn’t want to cause of the interracial dynamic

Candyman is a ghost. He doesn't need sleep. Plus, did Helen think she was going to hurt him with that hook?

Classic movie

Woah, classic is classic with original bees... OMG

2:27 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMFG THAT'S CRAZY

Why the hell was he sleep? Lol why would a ghost need sleep

Nick Cage: NOT THE BEES!!!

They actually used baby bees for this scene because they had weaker stingers and were less likely to sting. Which is important since the actress here was severely allergic to bee stings.

I just seen the new candyman it was good great storyline

Tony Todd should’ve voiced Xemnas or Ansem from kingdom hearts

2:25 not the bees
