Director Bernard Rose and (briefly) iconic star Tony Todd join Movie Oubliette's Conrad Chambers, Serge Bodnarchuk of Cold Crash Pictures and Melinda Mock of RetroBlasting to look back on one of the most influential, hypnotic, fascinating and disturbing horror films of the 90s: the original Candyman (1992). Join us as we explore the film's journey to the screen from Clive Barker's original short story, its depiction of social class in inner-city Chicago, its uniquely tragic and sensual title character, and the film's legacy as a contemporary classic. Part of Iconicon 2022 – the online convention focused on pop culture of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
