Wacko of the Week: Candyman!

So, I wanted to spotlight a different horror film wacko every week. So, instead of starting off with someone as well known as say, Michael Myers, I wanted to start off with someone that I feel is slightly underappreciated. Of course, I'm talking about the ever-disturbed Candyman!



Real Name: Daniel Robitaille
Appearences: Candyman, Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh, Candyman 3: Day of the Dead
Portrayed By: Tony Todd

Poor Daniel. All he wanted was to be able to love his darling Caroline. But, of course, that was far too taboo for the people of New Orleans. So, when Caroline got pregnant, they decided it was time for Daniel to go.
They tortured poor Daniel, cutting off his right hand with a rusty saw. They then covered him with honey, making bees swarm all over his body, mortally wounding him. They taunt him with Caroline's mirror, showing him how he looks. He dies, and his soul, hateful and full of vengeance, is trapped in the mirror.
Fast forward a couple decades. Candyman is back, being summoned by a brave soul who called him forth from a mirror. He goes on a rampage in Cabrini-Green, causing havoc and mayhem.
He comes back in a few sequels as well, causing just as much carnage as usual.

Moral of the story: Let people be in love.
Trademark weapon: Hook (that is in place of his right hand)
