Anthony may have survived the fire as a baby, but the Candyman would go on to haunt his very life years later. The Candyman originally chose to sacrifice Helen, the protagonist from the 1992 film, and Anthony so that his legend could go on. However, Helen saved baby Anthony before stabbing the Candyman.
Explanation: The Candy Man can create wonders with candies and sweets. He's the one to turn to, if you needed a dew-sprinkled sunrise that is covered with chocolate and a dash of miracles. He can do it because he mixes it with love and that's why everything he creates around him tastes good.
