Candyman

S1 E2: Filmmaker Bernard Rose's adaptation of Clive Barker's tale, 'The Forbidden' was flipped on its head when he questioned, 'what if the monster in the story was a normal looking black man?' Enter Candyman - the genre's first black slasher, rich with subtext about racial tensions and the martyred black bodies of American history. In 2021, he's coming back - and is perhaps the most relevant horror icon imaginable.
