Candyman

Last year was an odd one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a lot of ways that couldn’t help but hover over its 2023 output. The biggest example of this was The Marvels: the movie received a mixed reception in November, and ended up being one of the lowest-performing MCU movies to date. Reuniting With Nia DaCosta on The Marvels | io9 InterviewThat in and of itself indicated some audience fatigue, which happens naturally when you’ve been at this for 15 years. But what really drew attention was how quickly Disney wanted…

Let’s face it. Everybody loves a good bad guy. Why else would the morally gray anti-hero, such as The Punisher, be such a popular character?  Sometimes it's the villain, not the hero, who most people remember. I mean, for crying out loud, we’ve ranked every MAJOR version of The Joker, and that’s not even accounting for all of the “MINOR”  animated portrayals of the character, of which there are many.     That said, I like to think that Black villains are in a special class all of their own. You see, while it’s very hard…

In Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares, Englund recalls auditioning for Hawkins’ sleazy mayor, a role that eventually went to another ‘80s icon, Cary Elwes. But even though Englund’s Victor Creel is only in one season-four episode, the character’s…

Since 2017, director Jordan Peele has been on a tremendous run. His Get Out has made him into a thinking man’s horror creator, has since earned him comparisons to other icons, and, now, the NOPE director is indicating he approves of at least one equation. An article newly published by The Hollywood Reporter which features Peele alongside Chinonye Chukwu, Daniel Kwan, Martin McDonagh, Rian Johnson, and Tony Kushner, who reveals he likes the fact Peele’s latest work flips the Spielberg gaze convention on its head. In…

Just this year alone, he delivered a fun, occasionally grim look at the Hollywood and entertainment culture machinery with Nope back in July, followed by his reunion with longtime collaborator Keegan-Michael Key for Henry Selick’s stop-motion horror flick, Wendell & Wild. For his next venture, Peele is following in the footsteps of several men before him who’ve suddenly realized they…

Image via TriStar Pictures It’s been 30 years since Tony Todd, the perennial talent behind the eponymous villain of the classic 1992 slasher film Candyman, first planted an illogical fear of mirrors into audiences for the first time. Thirty years and three additional Candyman films later, and his ongoing legacy has shown no signs of slowing down.
