Blood Opera – Be My Victim

Be My Victim is a new single by Blood Opera, a horror movie heavy metal band from Toronto, Canada. The song features the voice of Tony Todd, the actor who played the iconic Candyman in the 1992 film and its sequels. The song is a tribute to the Candyman franchise, with references to the urban legend, the bees, and the hook. The music video for the song, directed by Cary McNigh, is also inspired by the film, with scenes of children playing scary games and a woman being haunted by the Candyman. The song was released on October 16, 2022, coinciding with the release of the new Candyman film directed by Nia DaCosta.

The song has received positive reviews from fans and critics, who praised its heavy metal sound, its homage to the horror classic, and Tony Todd’s involvement. Rue Morgue, a horror magazine, called it “a serious rock n’ roll homage to many aspects of the original Candyman film”.
