I had the idea a while ago of trying to edit Candyman 3: Day Of The Dead into a good movie, more in line with the first one, which is one of my favourite horror films of all time. (Not massively keen on the second one either, but at least it tries to be an honest-to-goodness sequel).

The idea would be to add Philip Glass score, maybe some Tony Todd voiceover from the Final Destination films (just so his every other word wasn't "Be my victim" again) and try and make it look a bit classier than the DTV shitefest it is.

But there's things even a fan edit can't cover, like shrill lead characters, awful acting, unconvincing effects... in the end, the film's best swept under the carpet and forgotten.
