Day 23: Candyman (1992)

Welcome back for Day 23 of our 31 Days of Horror series! We are drawing ever closer to the end--only 8 days left!!

Hello and welcome back! It's Day 20 of our 31 Days of Horror series, and today we're talking about 1981's The Fan, starring the lovely Lauren Bacall. If you've spent much time with me, either in person or via my internet ramblings, you know that I am in a committed relationship with Classic Hollywood. We are not exclusive, per se, but let's face it--I'm not really interested in seeing other people. Charles may take every opportunity to rib me about my love of Barbara Stanwyck (we even did an episode about her on The Good, The Bad, and the Podcast!) and other 1940s actresses of a…
