I still think the marionette death in #3 is the best in the series. It's just so... grandiose, and visceral, and... squicks me out.

It's a good one too, definitely top 5 in NoES kills.

All of this is very good and very correct, but you're especially right about the roach motel kill being an all-timer. I still remember watching it at a sleepover as a kid and that kill being seared into my brain.

I want to revisit the entire Nightmare series, because when I saw New Nightmare, I really didn't like it.

But, the worst kill was the needle kill. Just her arms turning into these little mouths. Ugh.

Most fun was the video game kill.

They also flub the take on the needle kill. Englund stabs her arms, and then realises at the last second that he missed with half the needles and readjusts

After finally watching Society a couple years ago it's been such a treat when I revisit a movie I loved and see that Screaming Mad George played a part in it.

I bought the NOES Collection Blu recently and did a rewatch recently and the motorcycle kill is a lot more rad than I remembered.

That was cool but it’s a nod to a kill in Day of the Dead, so it’s like a good cover of a song basically.

That voice in the Candyman trailer def ain't Tony Todd, so I'm thinking he ain't playing him. It looks more like a possession movie. Also, it's gonna be tough as hell to live up to that Philip Glass score, which does a lot of work in the original.

this thread did prove that Sonic The Hedgehog is a mass murderer and thus a horror film. A young child inspects his furry feet for gods sake! You don't get more horrific than that.

the bottle scene from Pan's Labyrinth has nothing on those feet.

Candyman 2020 is a sequel, right? Vanessa Williams is in this trailer and I can only assume she's playing the same character.

Not really. Freddy Krueger was a child murderer who existed in real life.

If you only go by the first movie of Candyman, which is what it seems like this sequel will do, Candyman never actually existed. He is rumor and hearsay brought to life through belief and fear.

He's not a ghost because he never was alive. That's why, at the end of the first, Helen is the 'new' Candyman, but with her own mythos and identity. It's not literally Helen's ghost, but the power of belief and superstition taking her form, since 'Candyman' was killed in the fire.

This is why Candyman was a large white man with a red beard in Europe, when spoken of by Europeans, and became an African American man when the myths and rumors traveled to America and into the ghettos and projects. The form is malleable and ever changing with the times.

If I had to assume, the new movie will end with the lead becoming the 'new Candyman', just like Helen did in the previous film. I'd also imagine that whoever is responsible for most of the early Candyman shenanigans won't actually be the spirit, but we'll see how close it sticks to the original's formula. The fact that the lead is trying to prove Candyman is real and remind people of him IS a pretty fun twist.

I mean if we're just going by the first film, none of those elements you bring up from the Clive Barker short story like the legend being European or Candyman originally being a bearded white guy are mentioned in the movie at all. In fact IIRC the movie directly contradicts the legend being from Europe in the dinner scene where Purcell says it began in America in 1890.

I watched it for the first time in October and it's a drat treat. Really good werewolf effects, and they definitely show off the gore in the opening.

I also love that the protagonist is a dog.

Just got to the end and yeah, I had low expectation but was pretty impressed. The gore especially throughout the movie was really detailed and done in a way I can't really recall seeing in too many others.
