Sweet Hook - Candyman (2021)

After a pandemic, murder hornets, and we don't know how many other delays Nia DaCosta's CANDYMAN finally released in theatres. Of course we saw it! On opening weekend, in Regal 4DX, with all the snacks we could carry. Dig into this bag of morsels that is the significance of DaCosta's direction and Black women in the film, social horror being translated as universal horror, and the transformation of a communal archetype into something different for a new generation.  Follow Us Onlinewww.scarycritpodcast.com | twitter.com/scarycritpod | instagram.com/scarycritpodGems from E32The Wire (2002)Lovecraft Country (2020)Dune (2021)Last Night in Soho (2021)Spencer (2021)Twilight (2008)The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)Catch that Kid (2004)Panic Room (2002)Zathura (2004)Personal Shopper (2016)Underwater (2020)Charlie’s Angels (2019)Charlie’s Angels (2000)The Thirteenth Year (1999)Water for Elephants (2011)Good Time (2017)Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)Queen’s Gambit (2021)Split (2016)The VVitch (2015)The Crucible (1996)Dune (1984)Clickbait (2021)The Outsider (2018)The Outsider (2020)Candyman (2021)Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ring (2021)Creed II (2018)Eternals (2021)Spiderman: No Way Home (2021)Candyman (1992)Halloween (2019)Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)Candyman 3: Day of the Dead (1999)Queen and Slim (2019)Get Out (2017)Daughters of the Dust (1991)Love and Basketball (2000)Lemonade (2016)Black is King (2021)Harriet (2019)Eve’s Bayou (1997)The Marvels (2022)Zola (2021)Truth or Dare (2018)Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021)Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder, 2015, Print)Support the show
