Favorite/scariest Ghost??


For me all of the Ghosts are great, unique and scary in their own way. But who was your favorite and scariest ghost? My favorites are The Angry Princess and the Jackal. Now for scariest ghost for me, the scariest Ghost for me had to be the Jackal! I found him so scary with his sharp teeth and fingernails and it was scary how fast he was. And it shows how dangerous he was when Dennis found out his cage had been open. And he also didn't waste anytime on attacking people. Someone might say the same about the Juggernaut but for me with him he seemed to be on a mission to attack one person and that was Dennis, they had this little moment in the beginning of the movie and you could tell he had been waiting to get out to get to him. So he too was scary but nobody beats the Jackal.

Anyone else?

Totally agree with you on that. The Jackal is boss, for sure. Honorable mention would have to go to the Great Child. Just because it was freaky, a 300lb kid in diapers with his fast face full of vomit. Naaasty! I'm actually watching it now, I've always thought it was an underrated horror gem.

It wasn't vomit, it was food that didn't make it into his mouth and spilled onto his bib (or body, because quite a bit missed his bib somehow). Basically, he was a 300-pound man-child. He wore diapers his whole life, and he was being spoon-fed baby food by his mother while wearing a bib when he is first seen, so that should be pretty telling. If you've ever tried to feed a baby, you know that they tend to have trouble keeping the food in their mouths.

I have an aside I want to rant about, so I'll type it in spoilers so people don't have to read it if they don't want to. It's quite surprising that we've survived so long as a species when we can't even eat properly when we're young. Look at practically any other species... mother-fed until they can get their own food. Human babies are mother-fed, until a point at which food basically has to be shoved into their faces in order for them to continue surviving. How have we survived this long? Why is our survival instinct so poor that we don't accept food when it's given to us? Look at animals... offer a treat to a dog, and he will take it. Offer him another, and he will take it. Offer him ten more, and he will take them all. Why? Because, even though he's domesticated, his ancestors survived by eating whatever food they could get. Why does this not apply to humans? I know we're not hunter-gatherers anymore, but we should still retain some basic traits. Apologies for the rant to anyone that read it.

I have no enemies, but am intensely disliked by my friends.

Ok... spilled food, vomited food, whatever, he was repulsive and sad. My point was that he was an unfortunate creature, an object of pity.

reply

Weren't most of them repulsive and sad, though? A child shot through the head with an arrow with the arrow still in his head, a man dismembered with his screaming head next to him, a strangled woman with her arms bound, a burned woman in hospital garb, a young man with half his body mutilated, a naked woman with knife slashes across her body, a woman bound in a pillory, a large sloppy man-child and his diminutive mother, a man with railroad spikes stabbed into his body, a psychopath wearing a head cage and a straitjacket, and a giant man riddled with bullet wounds. The Juggernaut was probably the least sad out of the lot. At least the Juggernaut deserved his death, as he was a serial killer in life.

I have no enemies, but am intensely disliked by my friends.

Watching it again now...I do see your point and agree w you. All, except the Juggernaut, are worthy of pity.

The Jackal

Ick, my least favorite and scariest ghost was always the Juggernaut. He always just creeped me out the most and was actually the only one to really scare me when I was younger.

My favorite ghosts are probably the Jackal and the Hammer. :D

Probably Torso.


I don't really get why the Jackal became a ghost though. He was evil, recognized it, locked himself up and when the place got on fire he chose to stay behind. What I'm getting at is he didn't really have any unfinished business nor was his death that.... hateful I guess for him to stay on this plane of existence. So, is the movie saying that everyone becomes ghosts? Not nitpicking. Just found it odd. Great movie though.

I think the Jackal and the Pilgrimess are the creepiest, but my favorite ghost is the Torn Prince. I think the Torn Prince looks scary/cool leaning against his overturned car with the baseball bat in his hands. I also like how the Torn Prince has a beautiful face on one side, and a "torn" raw face on the other side. Creepy!
