Description

Got a sweet tooth? Do you love bees? Maybe you are missing a hand. If any of this is true, then this episode is for you!
This week, Ian Wells assumes hosting duties as he takes us behind the history of the 1992 horror classic Candyman!
We talk about Clive Barker's work which the film is based on; the real life story of Ruthie Mae McCoy & the Cabrini Green Medicine Cabinet Murders; Dean Corll — the "Candy Man" killer; and we also get into some of the famous urban legends that loosely inspired the movie, including Bloody Mary and the Hook Man.
If you want to hear us chat on all that and plenty more, tune in now and be... our... victim! We dare you to listen to this episode 5 times.
