why at the end of the movie is her daughter white if her "father" is black and why does she know to say his name in the mirror 5 times if she doesnt know the story and why does everone know what he looks like if it's just an urban ledgand supposedly

I think she knows to say his name 5 times because it's a popular "scary story" ppl talk about to scare someone . . . she probably heard someone talking about it in school . . .
shareThe little girl at the end of the movie is not the daughter of the candyman. she is a descendant of the candyman. the little girl's father is paul mckeever and not candyman. even if she was she doesn't have to be black just cause the father is black. speaking of the other question, the candyman legend is an urban legend. the little girl probably heard the legend at school. it probably got passed around what he looks like.
shareShe did seem rather young to know about that urban legend, but I'll allow it.
What I didn't buy about the ending is that her mother would allow a glass object to dangle above the girl's bed -- and a mirror, no less.
LOL very true, although children sing ring-a-roses in the playground and don't know its about the bubonic plague!
I'm sure the glass wasn't sharp or was at least reinforced to be safe.
no watch the movie again annie says she we tell her daughter about the candyman and everything else so she doesnt fear him...to her and annie he wasnt a myth, he was family. they hadf photo albums of him and everything, annie told her the story about the legend in the mirror about sayiong his name 5 times. Watch it again and listen to the diologue carefully, you'll see

candyman wasnt her dad watch part 3 he was her great great great grandfather
shareWhat we should be asking is why the poor little girl's bedroom looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie!
shareFINALLY! Someone else asks the question of race!
Annie was supposed to be the great, great, grand-daughter of Caroline and Daniel/Candyman.
One thing I never get about the second one's storyline though is that you see a photo of Caroline with their daughter... and the little girl is white. Now forgive me if i'm wrong here but, if Caroline and Candydood had a child, surely it would be mixed-raced. I can never understand it. Just a string of white/blonde/female decendents.
I always wondered if anyone else questioned why the hell the daughter was just white? Did the film-makers not take the fact that he was black into consideration when they were visualising the storyline? I know that Annie could easily be white because it's been a good few generations, but not the first child.
I know a couple of people have replied with 'it isn't always the case that a black and white couple would not produce a mixed-race baby - true. But also 99% unlikely to have any sort of resemblance to the black parent.
Sure, make Annie white. As i've said, it's been a few generations. But the photo of the mother and Candydood's daughter, they should have made the little girl mixed-race. I think. Surely more people than just myself and 'rin' questioned it...?
If I had a child with a black partner and that child came out all white, I think most people would question the me on who the father really was...

well to give an example my son's father is of Puerto Rican heritage but you wouldn't know it to look at my son because he looks just like me. I am darkhaired dark skinned as my heritage includes greek but my daughter who's father is of Scottish heritage & has blond hair & blue eyes, looks just like her daddy & nothing like me. Also a friend of mine is married to a black man & when her son was born he had blond hair & blue eyes so figure all that out ......lol
shareActually all humans share the exact same 6 genes that make up color so it is entirely possible for two completely white ppl to have a black child or two completely black people to have a white child.
Ask any gentecist.
I just watched the movie and the child is mixed! You can see her skin is darker than Caroline's! She doesn't look exactly mixed but she looks darker in skin colour!
sharethanks a lot rin lee91. thanks a lot. i never even thought about these questions and i never would have but for some stupid reason i hit on this thread and now i don't like the movie anymore because it doesn't make sense. before i hit on your message i loved it. it was one of my favorite horror films ever and now i think it sucks. thanks. so my response to your "why why why???" subject line is "why why why did i click on this. now i hate a film i once loved." can't we just go to movies and enjoy them? do we have to question every little thing like plot and story. i never thought so many people spent so much time taking the movie out of movies until i started reading the imdb message boards. no offense. my bad. you have the right to ask questions. but i lost something after reading one of those questions. i lost a favorite film.

From what I remember of the photo the pic is in black and white with some light of color like an old western pic.
shareYou thought the little girl at the end was Candyman's daughter?
Lol
