The Official Clive Barker Website - Candyman Clive on Candyman INT. PARKING STRUCTURE - DAY Helen leaves the elevator and walks towards her car. She vaguely notices the Man, a tall dark silhouette, standing as if waiting for something, but she pays him little attention. Helen arrives at her car and searches in her bag for her keys. A dark shape crosses the foreground. MAN : Helen... She turns at the sound of her name. The Man stands a short distance away, silhouetted against a pool of light in the gloomy parking structure. His voice is rich and sonorous. HELEN : (friendly) Yes? MAN : I came for you. There is a buzzing sound, the sound of a sleepy afternoon far from here. HELEN : (still friendly) Do I know you? MAN : No. But you doubted me. Helen opens the car door and is about to get in. HELEN : I'm sorry. I have to go. He speaks, murmuring so softly that seduction might be in the air. MAN : No need to leave yet. HELEN : (wary) I'm late... He moves towards her and light falls on his face. Helen freezes.

The fine cheekbones, the sparkling eyes. She has seen this face before. MAN : You were not content with the stories, so I was obliged to come... He is finely dressed, his dark suit an antique cut. His right hand hidden in his coat pocket. He pulls his hand out of his pocket. The hand has been crudely sawn off. A butcher's hook rammed into the bloody stump. CANDYMAN : Be my victim... By Bernard Rose - May 1991 draft "[Candyman] was Bernard Rose's baby from the beginning. We shared an agent at CAA and I'd enjoyed Paperhouse - I thought it was tremendous, a smashing picture. Adam said "you know, Bernard really likes your short stories and there are two or three he's interested in and would like to get going. Bernard had worked at Propaganda as a [music] video director and he'd also done a couple of shorts for the Playboy channel; Propaganda produced this kind of compendium series for Playboy, shortish sexy vignettes, and Bernard did a couple of really tremendous ones. Anyway, his favourite story was The Forbidden, because he wanted to deal with the social stuff.

He like the idea of taking a horror story with some social undertones and making a movie of it. This was while I was still living in London, and we sat down several times and talked it through. We agreed that it needed to be relocated to the United States because it was American money and they weren't going to be interested in a story set in Liverpool. But the Cabrini Green setting [a real housing project in Chicago] I think worked perfectly well. He took the thematic material in the story and expanded it and turned it into something that was very much his own. I watched over the thing and worked with him and story conferenced with him and did all those things, but at the end of the day it's Bernard's movie and I think he did a tremendous piece of work." A Kind Of Magic By Maitland McDonagh, The Dark Side, No 45, April/May 1995 "I remember at the first Candyman [test] screening, Bernard Rose went as drunk as a skunk." The Conjuring of Lord of Illusions part 5 - The Last Interview By Anthony C.

Ferrante, Fangoria, No 146, September 1995 "I love the fact that material that originated from the same mind can result in pictures that are stylistically so different: 'Hellraiser III is a brightly coloured, special-effects heavy gross-out, which I had a good time with. 'Candyman' is the reverse of it - very low on special-effects and high on shock ad sub-text. I've always loved variation. It's one of the few things that makes life worth living. I trusted him [Bernard Rose] on the basis of 'Paperhouse', and that trust was completely justified, since he's made a very intelligent movie... .There was no way I was going to lay down the law as to how he should make his movie, and we worked together with nary a cross word." Barker Looks Back By Anthony C Ferrante, Bloody Best of Fangoria, No 12, September 1993 "I don't understand why this hasn't come out yet because nobody made it a secret particularly. Bernard [Rose] hypnotised Virginia [Madsen] for certain key scenes, for example, the sequence with the bees.

Virginia is susceptible to stings and was very nervous. So the whole set was cleared while Bernard spent ten minutes putting her in a trance. She got through the exacting scene woithout any hitches as a result. Yes, I was as cynical as your face at this moment suggests you are! But watch that scene carefully and you'll see what I mean." Carnival Barker By Alan Jones, Film Review, March 1993 "As a kid, I was told a lot of these stories and they were represented to me as the truth. That's the point about urban legends. They are told to you as something that happened to a friend - that's a very important element to their veracity." Candyman - Liner notes Laser disc, 1992 "I've watched over the various drafts of the screenplay which Bernard has been writing and I'm in contact with them regularly. I will almost certainly be able to see the dailies and of course I hope my voice will be listened to. As I've said before, such as when Hellraiser II came out, film is a directors and writers medium, and then its an actor's medium and then, way way down the line is the executive producer.

Therefore the real creative choices are made moment by moment, day by day by the people who are there on the set shooting the picture. I could be retroactively involved as producer, ie. you can see the material, comment on it once it has been shot, but basically that is a long way ahead of us now. Hopefully I'll be able to help out in the editing room once in a while. I'm certainly watching over the project with an eagle eye, but there are a lot of people who are going to be a lot more influential in the way the movie ends up." Imajiman By Jon Gregory, Hellraiser, No 2, 1991 "I still prefer the short story to the movie, though I am still a great fan of Candyman. Film is the collaborative art. In that case, it was a story created by Bernard Rose and myself based upon the short story. In other words, a marriage of minds." AOL Appearance - Opening Night Of Lord Of Illusions Transcript of on-line appearance, 23 August 1995 "Books and movies are two different media, and I've even changed my own material with Hellraiser and Nightbreed.

Yet adaptations like Rawhead Rex were disappointing, because the filmmakers didn't give a shit about the underlying psychology. They just wanted to make monster movies. But when I saw Bernard Rose's Paperhouse, I knew he could direct The Forbidden with style and believability. Not only has he given my narrative an underlying intelligence, but Bernard's shown a capacity to scare people that's even startled me! "Candyman isn't going to change people's opinions of me, especially with audiences who don't like horror. It's an intimidating story and movie. "Candyman is less florid and baroque than Hellraiser. You don't have to believe in Lament Configurations to enter its world. Bernard has made something that's less supernatural and broader in its appeal. Though Candyman will be coming out at the same time as Hellraiser III, the two films couldn't be more different. Candyman is a new style of Barker, and it's going to be the scariest film of the year." Candyman : A Nightmare Sweet By Daniel Schweiger, Fangoria, No 117, October 1992 ...other comments INT.

CANDYMAN'S LAIR - NIGHT CANDYMAN : The pain, I can assure you will be exquisite... as for the beyond... there is no permanence for us in death. Our deeds will be on a hundred walls and ten thousand lips. Should they doubt us again we can always be summoned with sweetness... He scoops her up in his arms and leads her to the slab. He lays her on it. HELEN : I don't want to be remembered that way. I want to be forgotten... Candyman slides his hook along her leg and thigh. His hypnotic presence and his silky voice seducing her. CANDYMAN : Helen... Helen, have you never lain awake at night sweating with terror at the thought of oblivion, of ceasing to exist... and felt that dark expanse of nothingness overwhelm you. That is indeed a thing to fear. He has struck a chord in her. CANDYMAN : (continuing) Come with me and be immortal. The hook slides up her skirt. Helen is aroused. CANDYMAN : (continuing) We shall give them something to be haunted by. That, and a story to tell... He bends down towards her.

He strokes her inner thigh with his hook. CANDYMAN : (continuing) Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. Helen's hand slides into Candyman's jacket. And then withdraws as if stung by something. Candyman's jacket flaps open and she sees - the contents of his torso have been eaten away. The hollow is now occupied by a nest of bees. They swarm in the vault of his chest, encrusted in a seething mass in the remnants of flesh that hang there. Helen screams. CANDYMAN : Sweets to the sweet. His mouth is close, about to kiss her. His mouth is filled with bees! HELEN : Noooooo!!!! Noooooo!!!! The bees suddenly swarm from his mouth, covering her. She writhes in agony as the bees cover her; moving on her, searching for morsels of wax in her ears. Sucking at the sugar from her lips. The bees are stinging. The noise deafening. HELEN : Get off me!!! His mouth presses to hers. Her tongue forced into the hive. Candyman stares at her. He is saddened by her obvious repulsion.

Helen blacks out... By Bernard Rose - May 1991 draft Bernard Rose : "After Chicago Joe, I met Clive Barker, who wrote the short story Candyman was based on, and he agreed to option it to me. I was completely broke then, but I took it to Steve Golin, head of Propaganda Films, and he didn't know I hadn't written films and hired me to both write and direct. So I wrote the script, and he found out I hadn't written before, and he got mad - but I'd already finished the screenplay of Candyman. He was going to replace me as writer, but he grudgingly read it, did like it and agreed to produce it. That film was very successful, so I then had a career as a writer as well... "It was like writing in a foreign language, because I was a Londoner writing a film set in Chicago. I went there and did quite a bit of research, talked to people and learned how people would speak, since I wasn't familiar with those speech patterns. When you are unfamiliar with how people sound, sometimes it makes you work harder to make them sound right.

People are often very nervous about going into an unfamiliar background, but I believe that's the wrong thing to worry about. If the story is good and the scenes are good, you can find out how people speak and get that right. But it's important not to just write generic-sounding dialogue... "While waiting for Propaganda to finance Candyman, I wrote several Inside Out segments for Alan Poul, for Playboy. They didn't care what you did, as long as someone took their clothes off. That gave you lots of freedom. These were fun, 5-6-minute pieces." Interview With Independent-Minded British Screenwriter/Director Bernard Rose By Alan Waldman, WGA.org, June 2002 (note - full text online at Bernard Rose : "The Candyman is a romantic character, the dark, handsome lover who demands total surrender. If you love the Candyman, then you'll die. But while all horror films are about sex, I wanted Candyman to get away from the rape fantasies that one associates with slasher movies. Helen deals with her desires when she summons the Candyman. She's like a priest who's always asking for God. But what would happen if God appeared and said, 'Here I am'?

That might be what the priest wants, but it would also drive him mad." Candyman : A Nightmare Sweet By Daniel Schweiger, Fangoria, No 117, October 1992 Virginia Madsen : "Most horror films just go for the gross-out, and always combine sex and violence. As soon as someone is getting it on, their head is chopped off! But Bernard immediately takes out that scene of 'getting punished for your sins' which is so exploitative of women. "Our traditional role has always been as helpless victims. But now we've had the Alien and Halloween films, where women get chased but still remain strong. Helen never allows herself to be a victim in Candyman. Horrible things might happen to her, but she fights back." Candyman : A Nightmare Sweet By Daniel Schweiger, Fangoria, No 117, October 1992 Bernard Rose : "Candyman is a horror film in the real sense of the word - it deals with the elements of dread and death, not just a man with a big knife. Candyman invokes our primal fears more than simply the fear of dismemberment.

This is modern Gothic horror, a genre which traditionally deals with the romantic horror of death." Candyman - Liner notes Laser disc, 1992 Tony Todd: "I think that to the disenfranchised who've felt that they've had a travesty enacted upon them, any time they see somebody like Candyman, who has had violence done to him - it's that old revenge thing, it's the Carrie thing, it's the kid in high school who gets picked on and, if only in his dreams, beats the living shit out of everybody. What are heroes, other than people who stand up for their beliefs? What makes Candyman insane is that he is killing people. Obviously, killing is bad; there are other ways. But then again, it is a horror film, so the thing is, what if a person had this thing done to him and what if he had the opportunity to come back and say, 'Watch out!' to the world that created this person and the conditions?" Carving Out A Niche By Abbie Bernstein, Fangoria, No 140, March 1995 Bernard Rose : "Candyman's thrust is metaphysical instead of political.

My element of social criticism asks how people can be expected to live in squalor, because the housing authority has allowed Cabrini Green to rot instead of trying to maintain it. But Candyman really poses the question that if God exists because we believe in him, what would happen to him if the worship ceased? Would there be a five-minute period where God is running on belief, and would he try to win his followers back? "People have a deep need to believe in something beyond themselves, especially when they're living in an appalling place like Cabrini Green. They could be shot at any time, but a creature like the Candyman could do something far worse to them.That belief allows the people to dodge bullets in the stairwells." Bernard Rose's Demons Of The Mind By Daniel Schweiger, Fangoria, No 118, November 1992 Alan Poul : "No film had ever been shot in some of the tightly gang-controlled sections of Cabrini." Candyman - Liner notes Laser disc, 1992 Tony Todd : "I tried to come there with no expectations, but I still felt fear. Anybody who didn't belong there was subject to danger.

The cops told me to keep my eyes on the rooftops for snipers, and then I ran into a black woman and her two children. They were hustling back from the grocery store before it got dark, and thought the film security people were cops. She asked us when we were going to clean the projects up, which really got to me." Candyman : A Nightmare Sweet By Daniel Schweiger, Fangoria, No 117, October 1992 Tony Todd : "I'm fascinated with giving characters a back life. I rely on motivation, because it's wrong when the audience has to guess where your part is coming from... I did dissertations on Candyman's internal angst, and had a mental photograph of where my character was at and what he wanted. "There's a certain saint-like quality about him, since it was rare for a black person to become an artist in 1860. But the same society that made Candyman ends up rebuking him when he falls in love with a white woman. So Candyman's not supposed to be a little pissed off?

He suffered a wrongful death, just at the point of becoming a dominant creative force, and now he's going to make a different contribution to society." Tony Todd: Hooked On Terror By Daniel Schweiger, Gorezone, No 25, Winter 1992 Bernard Rose : "I decided to set it in America because I felt it would make it more accessible to a world audience. I chose Chicago because I went there for a film festival and felt it was extraordinary looking in terms of its architecture. The film is about modern architecture. Cabrini Green has got the highest murder rate per square foot in the world. It's a very, very, very scary place... What's also true is the series of murders committed by coming through the backs of medicine cabinets... a murder was committed in Cabrini Green in exactly that fashion. "I'm rather bored with happy endings. They reduce the sense of danger. It's like having the absolute feeling that however complicated or convoluted the problem any character may be going through in a movie, you feel so confident in most movies that at the end there is going to be a deus ex machina that's going to solve everything. There is almost no suspense to the story anymore.

"It's a romance of death, like 'The Tomb Of Ligeia' - a 19th century idea of lovers dying together being the ultimate consumation of some kind of sex act. I saw the relationship between Candyman and Helen in those terms, a doomed love affair where death is the ultimate love act. Candyman only goes after people he loves. He's not going after people for the joy of killing. First you've got to call him, and second there has to be some kind of connection. His relationship to Helen is very complicated."

"Candyman" 9 October 2004 | by dee.reid (United States) – See all my reviews Undoubtedly one of the more original and frightening horror movies of the early 90s, Bernard Rose's "Candyman," an adaptation of famed author Clive Barker's "The Forbidden," stands well on its own as an effectively creepy film.

I was only about six or seven when I first heard the terrifying "Bloody Mary" legend, which was similar to the Candyman legend. And I'm sure others have heard stories about alligators in the sewer or the hesitant 911 operator. Indeed, the "Candyman" and "Bloody Mary" legends do share some common ground, in that if you chant their names before a mirror "x" number of times, they'll appear behind you and hack you to pieces. I used to believe in these legends - when I was kid - but as I grew older, I realized that they're just legends and therefore aren't meant to be taken literally. But that's the central dilemma with 1992's "Candyman": If you believe in something enough, will that belief make fiction reality? The Candyman (Tony Todd) has claimed responsibility for a series of grisly slayings in a particularly rough Chicago housing project, and Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) is anxious to discredit the myths. But when she is falsely accused of several brutal murders, could the Candyman be out for revenge, because she doubted him?

I'll admit upfront that I'm not familiar with the works of Clive Barker, who is clearly one of the most talented writers of the last 20 years. Only this film and "Hellraiser" have been able to capture my interest, unfortunately. "Candyman" is certainly a terrifying experience from start to finish, as you can't really be sure if the hook-handed spectral entity of the title actually exists in the physical world. 10/10 20 of 24 people found this review helpful.

Philip Glass Bio Through his operas, his symphonies, his compositions for his own ensemble, and his wide-ranging collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen to David Bowie, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact upon the musical and intellectual life of his times. The operas – “Einstein on the Beach,” “Satyagraha,” “Akhnaten,” and “The Voyage,” among many others – play throughout the world’s leading houses, and rarely to an empty seat. Glass has written music for experimental theater and for Academy Award-winning motion pictures such as “The Hours” and Martin Scorsese’s “Kundun,” while “Koyaanisqatsi,” his initial filmic landscape with Godfrey Reggio and the Philip Glass Ensemble, may be the most radical and influential mating of sound and vision since “Fantasia.” His associations, personal and professional, with leading rock, pop and world music artists date back to the 1960s, including the beginning of his collaborative relationship with artist Robert Wilson.

Indeed, Glass is the first composer to win a wide, multi-generational audience in the opera house, the concert hall, the dance world, in film and in popular music -- simultaneously. He was born in 1937 and grew up in Baltimore. He studied at the University of Chicago, the Juilliard School and in Aspen with Darius Milhaud. Finding himself dissatisfied with much of what then passed for modern music, he moved to Europe, where he studied with the legendary pedagogue Nadia Boulanger (who also taught Aaron Copland , Virgil Thomson and Quincy Jones) and worked closely with the sitar virtuoso and composer Ravi Shankar. He returned to New York in 1967 and formed the Philip Glass Ensemble – seven musicians playing keyboards and a variety of woodwinds, amplified and fed through a mixer. The new musical style that Glass was evolving was eventually dubbed “minimalism.” Glass himself never liked the term and preferred to speak of himself as a composer of “music with repetitive structures.” Much of his early work was based on the extended reiteration of brief, elegant melodic fragments that wove in and out of an aural tapestry.

Or, to put it another way, it immersed a listener in a sort of sonic weather that twists, turns, surrounds, develops. There has been nothing “minimalist” about his output. In the past 25 years, Glass has composed more than twenty operas, large and small; eight symphonies (with others already on the way); two piano concertos and concertos for violin, piano, timpani, and saxophone quartet and orchestra; soundtracks to films ranging from new scores for the stylized classics of Jean Cocteau to Errol Morris’s documentary about former defense secretary Robert McNamara; string quartets; a growing body of work for solo piano and organ. He has collaborated with Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Yo-Yo Ma, and Doris Lessing, among many others. He presents lectures, workshops, and solo keyboard performances around the world, and continues to appear regularly with the Philip Glass Ensemble. One Way Static Records is now proud to announce the release of Mr. Glass' iconic motion picture soundtrack for Clive Barker's 1992 CANDYMAN on vinyl and cassette.
