Candyman actor Tony Todd was stung almost 30 times while filming the iconic scene in which bees crawl out of his mouth.
The Big Picture Cashing in on the fear of insects has been a staple of the horror genre for many years, but few shots of creepy crawlies have cemented their status in pop culture iconography quite like the bees that pour out of Tony Todd’s mouth in the 1992 horror flick Candyman.
‘Candyman’ Actor Tony Todd’s Mouth Was Filled With Live Bees for the Iconic Scene Throughout the movie, rather than just killing Helen, Candyman frames her for numerous grisly murders , causing her to wind up imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital. She eventually escapes but chooses to follow Candyman into his lair in order to rescue a baby that he abducted.
Virginia Madsen Is Deathly Allergic to Bees, and Paramedics Were on Standby While Shooting ‘Candyman’ While the stinging scene-stealers were mostly baby bees and therefore less likely to be aggressive, they apparently got rather feisty during the removal process via bee-vacuum, which could take upwards of half an hour.
