Todays cohost, Crow Woyzeck.
Nightmares, can they really hurt you?
In this fight, yes. With villains such as the tormentor of Elm Street, Freddy Kruger.
And the fear of Harlem, The Candyman.
It's our job to see who would kick whose ass in a Clash!
Freddy Kruger was your typical child murder. With boiler room and four fingered claw to boot. Until a mob of enraged adults found him and changed his life for ever.
Ever since that day of being burned alive, Freddy was saved by three dream demons that granted him the power to kill the children of Elm Street through their dreams. And with each kill, his power grew.
As seen when he reveals his chamber of souls.
"But Clash dudes! Freddy can't fight! This is a stupid match!" Well simmer down now and listen up!
While at first glance it appears Freddy wouldn't fair well in a fight, he has actually proven to be a tough opponent when in CQC. Such as holding his own with the masked killer of Crystal Lake, Jason Vorhees, three times and meeting Ashly J. Williams in battle twice before. In addition, Freddy has also been pulled into the world of Mortal Kombat and even fought Kratos.
You remember that guy, right? The one the celtic barbarian killed.
But all of these matches took place in the Real World, where Freddy's power is limited.
It's true. When that dude is in the Dream world, he can pull off kills that only Bugs Bunny would think up of. Hell, he even killed a guy by using him in a video game.
And while in that world, Freddy can take control and posses humans to do his dirty work in the real world.
But don't mistake Freddy to be immortal. His power depletes if he is forgotten and he has been killed several times while in the real world. He's even been killed by the Dream Warriors and the band Dokken. And those fights he was in with Jason, Ash, and the MK cast? Didn't end to well for him actually.
Nonetheless, if you see this creeper in your dreams tonight, don't bother running, just try to wake up.
Daniel Robitaille, A.K.A The Candyman.
Once the son of a slave on the Esplanade Plantation in New Orleans, The Candyman was chosen to paint a portriat of his owners daughter leading to a forbidden romance and pragnancy.
Daniel was discovered and lynched by a mob by having his right hand cut off by a saw, coated in honey, swarmmed by bees, and forced to look at his own reflection in a mirrior uttering with his last breath "Candyman" and killing over. Afterwards, Daniel's embodiment of hate was imprisoned in the mirrior he looked in and allowed for his vengful spirit to come forth when called upon.
But it's not just the real world he can invade. Candyman can jump in and out of the dream world to the real world when he wishes it. In addition he has the stregth to be hit by an uncoming car and not even move an inch, has a hook for a right hand, can summon swarms of bees and even transform into a bee himself.
And similar to his opponent, Candyman harnesses the souls of his victims to juice up his own power.
The stage is set and our combatants are ready.
It's time for a Clash!
A child lay's in his bed, trembling in the dark. "Good night Justin." A mother says before closing the door. Young Justin looks around to make sure he's all alone, even checking under his bed for monsters. He breathes a sigh of relief and sits back up on his bed.
"Boo." Freddy says as he leans over the kids shoulder causing him to scream and wet himself. "HAHAHAHAH! What a baby!" Freddy proclaims. He holds his claw up and swings down at the child only to be stopped by a hook. "What the?" Freddy and Candyman look to each other with surprise. Both leap back to put some distance between themseleves.
"Damn kids with their 'Tempting the forces of hell' dares and what not." Freddy mutters beneath his breath as he readies for a fight.
Fight!
Freddy starts by stretching his claw hand out and hooking it into Candymans torso. Candyman lets out a small scream of agony before being pulled over to Freddy by his retracting hand. Freddy then places the thumb of his regular hand in his mouth and starts to inflate it to ridiculous proportions. He then lifts it up and swings it around in similar fashion to Popeye before punching the Candyman.
Candyman is sent skimming across the floor, through the door and out into the hallway. He gets back to his feet and looks up to see Freddy is missing. Candyman is toppoled back down as the floor is yanked out from under him. He looks back to see the rug he's laying on is the tongue to a giant head of Freddy that's coming out of the floorboards. But before he could react, it was too late. The Candyman was swallowed hold by grinning Freddy head.
That is, until he stopped grinning and started hearing a buzzing sound from inside. Tearing out of the massive throat is a humanoid bee. The Candyman steps out, resuming his human form, while the giant Freddy begins to deflate. Candyman dusts off his jacket until he notices a sceneary change. Candyman was now standing in the middle of Elm Street.
Down the other way, stood Freddy, with his shadow outstretching to Candymans feet. The shadow then peels off the ground and swats Candyman into a nearby building. Freddy points one of his clawed fingers up, commanding the shadow to stretch up higher, and then pionts down, commanding it to smash the building several times.
Freddy then appears above the rubble. "I won? Hey I won a fight for once!" Candyman's hook then bursts out of the rubble, "Sorry stripped sweater, it's gonna take more then that to swat this bee." Freddy shrugs and answers with "If you say so."
A bug spray bottle then appears on Freddy's back while he holds the pump in one hand and the hose in the other. He begins to spray out a hgihly toxic spray that singes the Candyman and even burns and melts the rubble beneath his feet. Freddy continues to spray while laughing. "HAHAHAHA! You won't taste like Candy when I'm through with ya!" Freddy adds with his laughter.
Canyman then huntches over and hacks up a swarm of bees. Freddy stops and simply says "Oh." before a wave of bees fly by him, stipping him down to a skeleton. He looks down with a surprised face. "Why you!" Freddy then spins around and reappears in his normal form. He looks for the Candyman, only to be caught offguard when a hook thrusts through his back and out of his chest. "NOT THIS AGAIN!" Freddy yells.
Candyman leans up to Freddy's ear and says "Let's see how you fair in the real world." With that being said, the two appear in the streets of Harlem. Freddy looks up and swipes his claw up at the Candyman, thrusting all four blades into his chest. Yet the Candyman did not flentch, he felt no pain. Freddy pulls them back out and stabs again. He continues to shank the unresponsive Candyman while mumbling, "This usually works by now."
Candyman finally responds by swatting Freddy across the streets and into a beaten down car, causing it to explode and sending Freddy flying across the streets again. Freddy lands and is dazed on the asphalt. Candyman then walks up to Freddy, runs his hook through him, lifts him up over his head and rips him apart with his own strength.
The soul of Freddy and his three Dream Demons then appear in the sky. "Fixed fight! Biased fanboys! I want a rematch!" Freddy yells before him and the demons are sucked into Candymans mouth.
Candymancracks a faint smile and says "Sweets for the sweet."
K.O.!
Bee Sitngs, One. Burns, Zero.
This was an extremly close match. But since both fed off of the lifeforce of their victims, Candyman would have more to feed off of for he is not anchored to Elm Street and the city it's in. Anyone any where can summon him at any time.
Not to mention he's been around a lot longer. Freddy was still terrorizing the same kids that ratted him out from when he was human, hell, his daughter even killed him. But Candyman was born back in the days of slavary giving him a much longer time period to rack up those kills.
In the end, Candyman was a Nightmare for Freddy.
The Winner is Candyman.
