Clive on Candyman III: Day of the Dead

"I am very proud of both the Candyman pictures, but I haven't been approached by Polygram for a third picture. Of course, it took almost ten years for Hollywood to make a sequel to "Alien", so anything is possible."

Transcript of on-line appearance, 1 September 1995

"Candyman 3, which I had nothing to do with, was shown to me a couple of weeks ago. I declined to put my name on it. I really don't think I contributed anything to its creation and it seems entirely phony to plunk your name on it, take the money and run. I didn't think it was a badly created movie, I just didn't think it had anything to do with the mythology I originally created. I would have felt like a big old fake."

Turi Meyer : "This is a great franchise. It's a great actor playing a monster and an opportunity to to play with the Clive Barker-created eeriness and his quirky way of working with horror...
"I would love to have had him [Barker] involved and am dying to hear what he thinks. I hope that he'll be happy."

Donna D'Errico : "I'm Caroline McKeever, the great, great granddaughter to Daniel Robataille. She's in complete denial that Daniel continues to exist as the Candyman. She wants to clear her family's name, which she thinks has been been marred by these 'made-up', horrible rumours. Daniel was a beautiful painter, so what is the big deal?
"But, deep inside, she does wonder: so she fights with that. She's intelligent and realistic, but vulnerable. I can relate to that because I feel I'm a fairly intelligent person, and I like to stand back and look at things instead of getting emotionally involved in them."

Donna D'Errico : Bye To Malibu Barbie

Turi Meyer : "She [Donna D'Errico] brought a lot of vulnerability to the character that we wrote. Caroline is a little hard edged, a town artist-type: so we had to lighten her up. Donna immediately brought that to the character. But she didn't have to lighten up, she played the hard moments beautifully and the emotional moments extraordinarily well. Her performance of the 'monster chasing' scenes is dynamic: the studio, in fact, feels that not since Jamie Lee Curtis has an actress reacted so persuasively to emotional and tangible torment."

Tony Todd : "The relationship has deepened between my ancestral pursuit of, in this case, my great-great-great-granddaughter, and the very strong story Turi had written about why this person was created. It really explores the horrors of what happens. The strong point of view and purpose in life - it's the story about the making of a monster, and that's very clear this time."
