This week, Joshua and Joe look into a mirror and summon forth a conversation about Candyman (1992).\n\nOur hosts welcome Dr. TJ Tallie to the Wes Craven Memorial Library. He is a professor of African History, and is seen but not heard. \n\nThe boys go deep into the politics of gay hook-up apps. Joe exoticizes White men. TJ makes his students watch Mean Girls for college credit. Joshua gushes over how romantic the Candyman is. \n\n"If Candyman can ask for consent, and his insides are 97% bees, then so can you!"\n\nMentioned in the episode:\n\n\n\nHorror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019)\n\n\n\n\n"Race and Historical Memory in Candyman (1992)" by Elizabeth Erwin\n\n\n\n\n"Before 'Get Out', there was 'Candyman'" by Manuela Lazic\n\n\n\n\nThe Forbidden by Clive Barker\n\n\n\n\nEXTRA CREDIT:\n\nFRIGHT SCHOOL 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN 2020 CLICKABLE CALENDAR\n\nWE HAVE ALL NEW TEES AND MERCH AVAILABLE!\n\nFright School Recommended Texts:\n\nThe Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror by David J.
