10 Unnecessary Horror Movie Details You NEED To Know

3. Candyman - Tony Todd's Mouth Was Actually Full Of Real Bees

If there's ever been a time where you've considered just how painful it'd be to have a full hive of stinging, yellow and black-clad little fellows in your mouth, well, then you have some strange thoughts, don't you? Ambiguity aside, for one of horror's most illustrious icons in the form of Tony Todd's Candyman, this was an all too real concept.

The characters' synonymity with bees is something that's always harkened back to in every single Candyman rendition. Todd, being the professional that he is, wanted to embrace every facet of his character and, in that oh so famous scene when he tries to make Helen his new counterpart, there were no props used (unless you count his pointy hand), but there was a party taking place in Tony's mouth.

Don't cry for him though, as he probably had a party himself after accruing an extra $23,000 dollars for every bee sting he received. Todd didn't swallow any of that sweet nectar or honey... or any of the bees themselves, either. He had a mouth guard preventing them from entering his body any further.
