The short story it's based on gives the "Be my victim" thing a more clear definition and resolution so that she becomes part of the legend. Also the Candyman origin is better too. I don't know why they changed so much in the screenplay. Still a good movie, but the short story is that much better. For the interested it can be found in the story collection "In the Flesh", which is a great collection.
