I’d met him a couple of times when he was doing Nightbreed at Pinewood.
We go back to back to where it all began with Bernard Rose to discuss the Candyman legacy, his thoughts on the latest addition to the franchise and working with bees… So your journey with Candyman started with a chance meet-up with Clive Barker… A critical success when it was released and just like the film’s central urban legend, the legacy of Candyman has endured, spawning two sequels and a recent ‘requal’ from Nia DaCosta. “Stand in front of the mirror and say his name five times…” Back in 1992 the horror genre had a brand new classic in its repertoire with Candyman, the story of a university student (Helen, played by Virginia Madsen) completing her thesis on urban legends, which leads her to the legend of the ‘Candyman’ (played by Tony Todd), the ghost of an African-American artist and the son of a slave who was murdered in the late 19th century for his relationship with the daughter of a wealthy white man.īased on Clive Barker’s short story ‘The Forbidden’, the movie was written and directed by Bernard Rose after a chance meeting between Rose and Barker where the latter gave him his blessing to turn the story into a feature film.
