We bestow upon you Day 1 of Sinister Creature Con! As expected the convention hall was jammed packed.

Things fired up with Michael Hargrove, an award-winning actor of the theater who earned the role of Candyman in director Nia DaCosta’s new iteration of Candyman (2021). While initially approaching the role as he did others Michael soon learned the importance of the film with fans of the franchise and his overwhelmingly positive impact on keeping Candyman alive.
