Candyman Series Episode 1

♪Who can cut you open…
From your groin to gullet?
With a hook on his hand…
the Candyman can, the Candyman can….♪

Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob invite Now Playing Podcast listeners to “be our victim” all June long, as they whisk Silver Level Donors back to Chicago’s notorious Cabrini-Green housing project in search of the original Candyman. Tony Todd (Final Destination) stars as an urban legend serial killer who likes to put grad students like Virginia Madsen on the hook for all his grisly deeds.  Is there any truth to the rumor that Clive Barker’s honey-voiced slasher surpassed Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers as the horror icon of the 1990s?  Donate and find out!
