Candyman

About him
Daniel Robitaille, better known as Candyman, is the titular main antagonist of the Candyman franchise, based off of the short story "The Forbidden" from the anthology book Books of Blood written by Clive Barker. He appears as the titular main antagonist of the original Candyman, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and Candyman: Day of the Dead and the overarching antagonist of Candyman (2021).

Despite his nature as a brutal killer and a vengeful spirit, Candyman has an especially tragic past compared to most horror icons, which arguably made him more sympathetic, though he was nevertheless just as dangerous and deadly as any other slasher movie villains. He returns in the 2021 movie with the same name. As with Clive Barker's earlier slasher icon, Pinhead, 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.

He is portrayed by Tony Todd in the whole series, who also played Grange in The Crow, Captain Darrow in The Rock, Earl Jenkins in Smallville, King Deucalion in Minotaur, Shadow in Shadow: Dead Riot, Benjamin Juma in the 24 franchise, The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Dreadwing in Transformers Prime, Zoom in the Arrowverse, Darkseid in the DC Animated Movie Universe and Luther Thompson in Scream.
