The first Purge movie sucks because they don't explore the actual purge night enough, the sequels handled the concept better. That actor was one of the highlights

Candyman for me. Tony Todd plays that role to perfection, I was terrified to look in to a mirror for weeks after seeing that film

The idea of The Purge is better than that first movie. Candyman the original film is a horror classic, and Tony Todd is so iconic in the role. I think its one of the more human and complex villains, but still terrifying.

A bit odd pinning an iconic black horror movie character against a guy who's sole motivation was killing a black man with his buddies.

Didn’t vote on this one earlier because I hadn’t ever seen the original Candyman, but now that I have watched and loved it, he gets my vote.

Candyman... Candyman... Candyman.....

Would love to see Candyman make the final or semis at least.

Would love to see Candyman make the final or semis at least.

I feel like Tony Todd's portrayal deserves to make it quite far, plus it's one of the more unique horror villains with a good backstory.
