“Hey everyone! Welcome and welcome back to this months edition of horror history! In today’s lesson we’re gonna be learning about Daniel Robitaille aka, Candyman. Due to the grievous tragedy surrounding his death, having been murdered under unjust pretenses and for personal revenge, Candyman arose from the grave and became a wrath-driven specter, haunting the land where he had been executed.
Despite his nature as a brutal killer and a vengeful spirit, Candyman has an especially tragic past compared to most horror icons, though he is nevertheless just as dangerous and deadly as any other horror movie villain. The character of Candyman was intentionally designed to be very charismatic and articulate, his main source of fear being derived from his warped sense of reasoning.
His attire consists of a large, brown fur trench coat, a white cravat around his neck, gray pants, a pair of polished leather shoes, and a bloody hook in place of his right hand, which he uses to mutilate his victims. His trench coat is used to conceal his grotesque mutilations — the product of the torture that he suffered shortly before his death. Underneath it is his skinless ribcage and hollowed-out abdomen, which forms a hive infested with live honey bees. His hair is jet-black and curly, but kept very short.
Candyman is also shown to possess a severe God complex. He implies self-omnipresence by identifying himself with the rumors and imagery based around his name and likeness, further claiming that without such things he is "nothing", making it clear that he enjoys hearing people talk about him. Candyman takes his role as a God to quite literal religious lengths. He refers to the denizens of his burial grounds as his "followers" and "congregation". Furthermore, Candyman does not kill his believers if they abandon their faith in him; instead, he chooses to murder the people who have called him out as being superstition.
The painter(Candyman) and the landowner's daughter fell in love. Unfortunately, the girl's father discovered their relationship and hired a lynch mob to find and kill the young painter. As the mob chased him down the streets of the Near North end of Chicago they eventually overpowered him and sawed off his right hand with a rusty blade. The young painter's body was then smeared with honey from a local apiary, causing the bees to sting him to death and prompting the future generations of the neighborhood to christen him "Candyman". The painter's dead body was then been burned on a pyre with his ashes being scattered around the entire region.
Powers and Abilities.
Sharp Hook- Used to kill, bucher, and slaughter his victims.
Superhuman strength-Has the ability to throw and move his victims with no issue.
