Episode 201 - Candyman (1992)

Step into the shadows with The Horror Project Podcast as hosts Laura and Phil dive headfirst into Candyman (1992)—because some urban legends really should stay untested.

Lured by whispered superstitions and housing-project folklore, graduate student Helen sets out to investigate the myth of the mysterious, one-armed Candyman. What starts as academic curiosity quickly spirals into a full-blown waking nightmare as brutal murders pile up and reality starts to crack.

In this episode, we track Helen’s descent into Candyman’s world, ask what is going on with her truly awful relationship with the equally awful Trevor, and break down how legends are born, fed, and weaponised. And of course, we salute Tony Todd for delivering one of horror’s most iconic performances—charismatic, terrifying, and unforgettable in all his full, sexy glory.

Thanks for listening—and maybe don’t say his name.
