Candyman
Today's #OneShotWed comes from the horror film Candyman (1992), filmed primarily in the former Cabrini-Green public housing project on the Near North Side of Chicago.
In this scene, Candyman (Tony Todd) appears to Helen (Virginia Madsen) in a parking garage and hypnotizes her. According to the film's co-director, Bernard Rose, and Madsen herself, Madsen was actually hypnotized in scenes in which she came into contact with Candyman.
Apparently, a keyword was used to make the actress snap in/out of her onscreen trance. Creepy!
