Corrected entry: When the bees start coming out of Candyman's mouth and when Candyman leans down to kiss Helen with the bees in his mouth, both actors are dummies some of the time and themselves some of the time, they come and go.

Correction: The scene was shot for real with actors Tony Todd (Candyman) and Virginia Madsen (Helen), using actual bees. (The only "effect" involved was the use of a hidden mouth-guard for Tony Todd so that the bees would not go down his throat.) No dummies were used during the scene. In every shot, you can see some movement in the actor's faces (sometimes very subtle movements like eyes wincing slightly or cheeks moving), further proving this was done for real with the actors.
