    I met Tony at a horror con when I was probably 19 years old. I admit I got teary eyed talking to THE CANDYMAN. I was obsessed with that movie at the time, and he was so gracious and kind to me. He took the time to talk to me about movies and horror and even gave me the biggest hug I think I’ve ever received. To this day I love saying that I was hugged by the Candyman. Rest in power, Tony. You were the best. 🐝🪝

    RIP Tony Todd. I met him at MCM Comic Con in London about 15 years ago when he signed my DVD. He was generous with his time and a super cool dude. Night '90 is one of the first films that got me interested in filmmaking. He was the perfect choice for Ben, and of course Candyman is legendary. What a talented actor. It's a huge loss.

When I approached his booth I was star struck, and plus he was towering,lol. Loved all of his movies,tv,and theater performances. I even enjoyed him playing a pirate in a "Xena" episode! What a legend! RIP Mr. Todd.❤

    That face, that voice, that classical stage presence. The man became a horror icon without a mask, without scary vfx, without makeup. He just became Candyman and embodied every character he portrayed. Such an amazing performer. He will be sorely missed.

Wanted to meet him if he came back to do another creep IE con here in ontario. He was here last year and I didn't go. Didn't start going to conventions until just this year and now I will never get to meet him. Gone too soon. RIP ⚰️

    I met Tony Todd at FanExpo in Toronto back in 2012. Easily one of the most laid back, chilled celebrities I ever met and he was more than eager to talk about his non-Candyman roles. I told him I was a big fan of the Night of the Living Dead remake and his role in The Rock, and his eyes lit up. Very sad to hear of his passing but very grateful that I got to meet him.

  • @mx472000

    First time I saw Tony Todd was on screen. It was in "The Rock" where he played one of Ed Harris's soldiers / mercenaries. He really stood out in that film even though it was a minor role.

    My family and I got to meet him several times at cons. The first was at a local casino. My grandmother had seen him in a trilogy of Westerns he made with Christopher Reeve called Black Fox. When we got to his table I talked about Candyman and Star Trek. My mom talked about Platoon and The Rock. My grandmother mentioned Black Fox and his eyes lit up “I loved making those films, Christopher Reeve was a wonderful friend, thank you so much for enjoying them!” I came back on my own one day and we talked more about his films and Star Trek, but he was still so happy about meeting my grandma. A couple weeks later we went to Worcester for another convention where he was there for a film premiere and the cast was in a long line together signing posters. We got up to him and he said “I recognize you guys, my Black Fox family!” Then many years later we saw him once more at that first con and we talked so long about seeing each other again and by this time my grandma and I had been watching The Flash and he was the voice of Zoom. But he still referred to us as his Black Fox family and he at one point followed me on Twitter. On my grandma’s birthday I posted pictures and he wished her a happy birthday, still calling us his Black Fox family. He was such a genuine and lovely human, and an incredibly talented actor.

    The first original candy scares me as a young teenager. It has such an eerie creepy vibe it’s so hard to explain but that movie is still one of the only horror movies that still has that same scary vibe to it for me as a grown man and a lot of that is how amazing and scary Tony Todd was as candyman! Rest in peace god sir!

    I’m from Chicago, so hearing the man behind Candyman, the biggest horror villain that was located and filmed in my home city had died broke me. Sure there’s Chucky, but people don’t really connect Chucky with Chicago as much as Candyman with Chicago. At the beginning of this past October I traveled to Chicago for about a week and when I was there I went past some of the filming locations including Cabrini Green and I was just in awe that I was there where they filmed this icon of a movie and icon of a character. I never met Tony Todd, but always wanted to. An absolute legend of a man and an icon of Horror as well as acting in general. Rest in peace Mr. Todd, your presence in films were extraordinary.

    I am so saddened by this news, my thoughts go out to his family and friends. Only met him online in the late 80s, before the Internet. He would talk to me about star trek, computers and diving, no Mr Hollywood stuff. He made you feel he was interested in you and happy to answer questions.

But I remember my dad describing the movies to me when I was 12 and then playing a scene on his phone, and I was interested in it, but it also scared me so much😂. Then he was cast as venom, and I knew he was the perfect choice . Once I played the game, he was instantly my favorite voice for venom. Rest in peace, Tony.

    I would always see him at con’s but never got around to meeting him. Though my favourite experience with him was when I went to this thing where they were doing a showing of Hatchet outside and Candyman inside, but Tony Todd was a special guest. Anyways I was on a date, we look over in the corner and there’s Tony Todd in a long wool jacket and fedora just watching along with everyone. Crazy watching the movie and then looking over and Candyman in standing right fucking there!!
    RIP Tony Todd!!

He brought so much to the roles in candyman and the crow for me and i gotta say im shocked that he has 120 tv and film credits to his name i knew he was busy but damn rest in peace Tony you have earnt it

    Oh nooooooooo my deepest condolences to the Todd family. I remember watching Candyman as a kid I thought it'd be a good idea to go in the bathroom with the lights off say Candyman 5X's when my dad who had a coat similar to Candyman's barged in scaring me & putting me off the film for a good 10yrs. My dad although black was older, partly going grey, different build & probably shorter than Tony(dad was 5ft 11½). My parents laughed till their voice went hoarse, both my parents have sadly passed away & that Candyman memory is something I'll always treasure I wish I could've thanked Tony for that moment. Rest in peace Tony one mack daddy you don't wanna f**k with.

    For me he stole every spotlight he entered! Candyman, Final Destination, and one of my all time favorite episodes of The X files titled "sleepless." He is one of the most beautiful men in the world to me. He always seems so regal and sexy. I really appreciated that episode of the X files as someone who has suffered with insomnia since age 8 (now 44.) For me 72 hours of no sleep and I start cracking. The episode revolves around a group of soldiers who were experimented on by the military for sleep eradication. They hadn't slept in 28 years. I can't even imagine. RIP Tony🖤🖤🖤
