# Candyman **URL:** **By** Jesse Walker, Peter Suderman, Landry Ayres, Natalie Dowzicky **Published:** October 13, 2021 --- Peter Suderman and Jesse Walker join the podcast to discuss the urban legend of the Candyman from Bernard Rose’s 1992 film as well as Nia DaCosta \& Jordan Peele’s 2021 film. ## Summary: The hook-handed son of a slave summoned by the chanting of his name 5 times, Candyman, was originally created by horror legend writer Clive Barker, but the legend has since been adapted for the big screen many times, first in 1992 and most recently in 2021. Peter Suderman and Jesse Walker help us dissect both films as part of a larger discussion about how horror movies tackle social issues.
