Viewers may think of Candyman as one of the horror genre's most terrifying villains, but Bernard Rose said that "the idea always was that he was kind of a romantic figure. And again, romantic in sort of the Edgar Allan Poe sense--it's the romance of death. He's a ghost, and he's also the resurrection of something that is kind of unspoken or unspeakable in American history, which is slavery, as well. So he's kind of come back and he's haunting what is the new version of the racial segregation in Chicago. "And I think there's also something very seductive and very sweet and very romantic about him, and that's what makes him interesting. In the same way there is about Dracula. In the end, the Bogeyman is someone you want to surrender to. You're not just afraid of. There's a certain kind of joy in his seduction. And Tony Todd was always so romantic. Tony ties him in so elegantly and is such a gentleman. He was wonderful."
