People have been tinkering with the paranormal in movies practically
since movies began being made. It’s always been a fascination of ours
to see if there is in fact life after death, even if that life is in
some kind of different form.
But when you really think about it, there aren’t that many great
individual ghosts one can point out in cinema. I mean you see scary
stuff in films all the time. But it’s rare that you become attached to
a specific character that is in fact a ghost.
I’ve put together a list of 10 ghosts that I think are tops. And no, Casper is not in this list.

Slimer in Ghost Busters



Let’s face it folks. Slimer was the best ghost to come out of this
movie. Hell they even made a cartoon out of the show and Slimer was an
integral part of it. Remember Ecto Cooler drinks from Hi-C? Anyway,
the loveable little slob was a great addition to this franchise. Funny
because in the original movie Slimer’s barely in it.

Ghost of Christmas Past in Scrooged



Played by David Johansen or better known as Buster Poindexter, you
gotta love this character. He was a total snot, modeled after a
typical New York City cab driver (though today that’d be more foreign
people). His raspy voice and total disregard for Frank Cross is
awesome. He deserves a spot on here.

Dr. Malcolm Crowe in The Sixth Sense



Sure Haley Joel Osment stole the show in this movie but you can’t
deny that Bruce Willis didn’t do an excellent job of keeping up with
the boy. He tries in every way to help the young kid and let’s face
it, this movie had one of the best endings in Hollywood history.

Sam in Ghost



When he kicks Willy’s ass in the middle of the street it’s pretty
awesome. When he messes with Carl in the office it’s pretty awesome.
When he tries to kick that can in the subway and falls on his ass?
It’s pretty awesome. When he makes love to Molly near the pottery
machine? Not so awesome.

Beetlejuice in Beetlejuice



I gotta say this is definitely one of Michael Keaton’s best roles.
Simply because it’s so different from many that he plays. The
combination of scumbag, mean, feisty, and all out horndog make this
character lovable in a gross kind of way.

Billy Mahoney in Flatliners



How this kid completely messed with Kiefer Sutherland’s character is
totally worth a mention. I mean it’s a 6-8 year old kid who finally
gets revenge on a Bully who messed with him 20 years ago. Totally
badass. Plus he’s the same kid who was in Harry and the Henderson’s.

Candyman in Candyman



Personally I think this is one of the best horror movies I’ve ever
seen. I know it’s a bold statement but it’s definitely a really freaky
movie. And that is in large part because of the Candyman. Every time
he would scream out “Helen” it gave me the willies.

Delbert Grady in The Shining



Guy murdered his twin daughters. I think that qualifies.

Large Marge in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure



I would never leave out Large Marge. That shrilly laugh is worth a spot in itself.

Samara in The Ring



I’ve actually never seen The Ring but from what I hear it’s one of
the freakiest movies of all time. So on that basis it would be tough
for me to leave out the freakiest character, Samara.
