Candyman is an American rapper and record producer who was one of the many crossover rap stars of the early 1990s, although his success was extremely short-lived. He is best known for his one-hit wonder, "Knockin Boots". The Los Angeles rapper was featured backing Tone-Loc before he earned his own solo stint. His 1990 debut, Ain't No Shame in My Game, scored a Top Ten pop hit with "Knockin' Boots." The following year, he released another less successful LP for Epic, Playtime Is Over. <a href="h

Quotes

• “[A supernatural Helen appears behind Trevor] What's the matter, Trevor? Scared of something? [Proceeds to slash Trevor with a Candyman hook]”
• “[Convincing Bernadette to visit the Cabrini-Green projects] Okay, let's just turn around then. Let's just go back, and we can write a nice little, boring thesis regurgitating all the usual crap about urban legend. We've got a real shot here, Bernadette. An entire community starts attributing the daily horrors of their lives to a mythical figure.”
• “[Reading graffiti aloud] Sweets... to... the sweet?”
• “[To Orderly leaving with her strapped to hospital bed] Where are you going?! No, you can't leave me here! I can't defend myself!”
• “[To Helen knocking mirror out of medicine cabinet] Helen, be careful! The could be somebody on the toilet!”
• “[Giving a University lecture] Now, why would Danny and Diane both be suffering from the same delusion in two cities over 1,000 miles apart? Let's face it, folks. There are no alligators in the sewers. No, it's... It's around the campfire. It's bedtime stories. See, these stories are modern oral folklore. They are the unselfconscious reflection of the fears of urban society.”
