In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene (files.catbox.moe)

$27,000 does not seem like enough money to endure 27 bee stings simultaneously.

Dude I’d do this for 10% of that fee. Sure stings hurt, but not that much and it passes.

That might depend on one's pain tolerance levels, idk.

True.

I will say it’s not worse than a tattoo and I’ve paid money to sit there for 6 hours being tattoo’d.

Not saying I’m tough, as I’m pretty soft, more that often it’s the thought that is worse than the thing.

My tattoo hurt worse than a single bee sting of course, but idk about 27. My tattoo stopped hurting the second they stopped needleing me, but stings continue to irritate. add the facts if you're not sure how many you're going to get and when exactly they will occur, And idk if they're comparable
