Trivia:
Real bees were actually put into Tony Todd's mouth while they where shooting the climax. His only protection was a mouth guard that kept him from having the bees go down his throat.

Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) is a graduate student doing research on an urban legend named 'Candyman' who is supposed to be haunting the Cabrini-Green housing project in Chicago. Unfortunately, she finds that this is no urban legend but the tragic truth...
A horror movie that is authentically creepy and unsettling, making it leagues ahead of other movies of its ilk. Enhanced by Philip Glass's haunting music score and a magnetic performance by Tony Todd (it has now become his signature role) as the titular being. It's unfortunately mean-spirited (and very, very gory), and, like some other horror movies, this does not show a great deal of hope for its leading character.
Based on the story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker, which was originally set in Liverpool (the author was executive producer of the movie). Writer / director Bernard Rose appears fleetingly on screen as "Archie Walsh."
Star Virginia Madsen shares two scenes with her real-life friend, actress Rusty Schwimmer, who plays the policewoman.
