  • A Tribute to Candyman Star Tony Todd (And an interview from 2017!)

    A Tribute to Candyman Star Tony Todd (And an interview from 2017!)
    Dec 17 2024
    Tananarive and Steve were devastated by the death of Candyman star Tony Todd in November of 2024. (He also co-starred in their "Fugue State" story in the Shudder/AMC+ anthology film Horror Noire.) His death inspired them to unearth an interview they did with Todd as a part of their online digital download course The Sunken Place, a history of Black Horror. In this rare interview, Todd talks about his tough childhood, the aunt who raised him, his theater roots...and becoming Candyman. Don't miss it! The full course (which also includes an interview with Jordan Peele) can be found at www.sunkenplaceclass.com.
