CANDYMAN (1992) // Melanin Madness

Published on: 1st February, 2022

Sweets to the sweet, the boys have a treat for you! New month, new theme: this February, we'll be celebrating Black Horror Cinema talking films directed and/or led by black artists. First up is one of DeVaughn's all-time favorites, Candyman (1992). The boy's discuss the film's unique aesthetic, Helen as horror's most complicated Final Girl, the flawed exploration of race/class, and decide if Candyman and Pinhead would be best friends or immortal enemies. Take a hit and pass that spooky shit!

New episodes drop every Tuesday. Next week, we take a look at Abby (1974), subscribe so you don't miss it!

About the Podcast

Specter Cinema Club
An exploration of the sub-genres that make up our favorite horror movies!
The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work.

NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"
