HalloweeNoire: Candyman (1992) 31 Days of Horror: Day 27 Of all the toughs Bernard Rose could’ve picked, he went with Ted Raimi.

HalloweeNoire: Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde (1976) 10/08/2024

HalloweeNoire: Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde (1976) 31 Days of Horror: Day 8 Black, Hyde tries to have it both ways by including the usual karatesized action, goofy slapstick, and social commentary that made the genre so popular in the first place. Yet it also takes the time to relate themes of tragedy, strife, and frustrations within the worlds of sex work and medical experimentation. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/33370627
