Spooky season concludes with Nia DaCosta's 2021 sequel Candyman. We discuss America's legacy of violence against black bodies and the undue burden put on black artists to represent black pain "the right way". Discussions also include:

• Our two-year pod-iversary.
• Hal's book club reading of D.H. Lawrence's WOMEN IN LOVE;
• Craig saw Damien Leone's Christmastime masterpiece: TERRIFIER 3;
• How Candyman builds on the original film, while staking its own place in horror history.

NOTE: We recorded this episode on November 5th, just three days before the news of Tony Todd's untimely passing. Rest in peace to horror icon Tony Todd.
