- An aversion that kills the mood with Fridge Logic: Woman's husband dies, so she does what any sensible grieving widow would do and gets a voodoo priestess to summon the ghost of her dead husband for some hanky-panky. In the ensuing scene, the "ghost" is clearly and nonsensically wearing a condom.
