There was a movie that came out about the same time as candy man that i thought was called sandman, but it appears i am mistaken. I keep trying to order on netflix but im getting the wrong movie popping up when i use the title.

Okay what i remember was they were gonna execute a prisoner and he made a curse or something and after the executed him he got the power to turn into sand and what not. Im drawing a blank on the rest til the end. The ending was he chased some one into like a cement silo or something and they lite it on fire and he turned to glass and shattered. Not very helpful i know but i saw this like 10-12 years ago.
