History Main / Ghost

* HighOctaineNightmareFuel: What's in store for Willy and Carl after they die.

* ImpaledWithExtremePredjudice: Carl, courtesy of a shattered window pane.

* VillainousBreakdown - Starting when [[spoiler:Carl realizes he can't access the stolen money]] and lasting somewhere
around the entire third act.

* [[EvilDetectingDog Evil Detecting Cat]]: Inverted - Molly's cat goes berserk when it senses Sam's ghost. It lashes at Willy's face, inadvertently alarming Molly to his presence.

* SexByProxy: Sam uses Oda Mae's body for a Makeout By Proxy with Molly.
* SpiritAdvisor: Several ghosts throw out little tidbits of pertinent information for Sam, but notably the Subway Ghost, who teaches him how to move objects. Slightly different in that the character being advised is himself a ghost...

* LoudOfWar: '''''♪ [[BrokenRecord OHHH I'M 'ENRY THE EIGHTH, I AM! 'ERNY THE EIGHTH, I AM, I AM....]] ♪'''''
** Second verse, same as the first!

* LoudOfWar - Sam gets Oda Mae to help him by singing "Henry the Eighth" over and over again, all night long.

* PhonyPsychic - Oda Mae was one of these until she met Sam, at which time she realized she really ''could'' [[ISeeDeadPeople hear dead people]].

* VillainousBreakdown - Starting when [[spoiler:Carl realizes he can't access the stolen money]] and lasting somewhere around the entire third act.

Ghost is a 1990 movie starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and WhoopiGoldberg in the performance that won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar (which she attributes to Swayze insisting on her being cast in the part).

* SexByProxy: Sam uses Oda Mae's body for a Makeout By Proxy with Molly.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Sam and Oda Mae's first encounter.
--->'''Oda Mae:''' I swear to God no more lies, but please, please make that guy go away.
--->'''Sam:''' No way.
--->'''Oda Mae:''' AAAAAAAAHHHH-- (breaks the door down and fell)
--->'''Everyone in the room:''' AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
** Sam singing "Henry the Eighth". No matter how hard Oda Mae press the pillows into her ears, she can't seem to drown his voice. Its more funny when you realize that Sam can sing loudly, and no one but Oda Mae can hear him.
** "Molly! I'm gonna count to three and I'm outta here! [[MotorMouth OneTwoThree]]!"
** The part where Sam and Oda Mae give the four million dollars they stole from Carl to a church, with the nuns nearly having a heart attack when they see the check.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment - now that Patrick Swayze himself left us.....

* HilariousInHindsight: The scene with Oda Mae and the nuns becomes a lot funnier if you have ''SisterAct'' in your head.

* NightmareFuel - [[{{The Grim Reaper}} The dark figures that drag Willy and Carl's souls to Hell.]]
** Double for Sam's double-dream where Sam "wakes up" from his "nightmare". He wants some comfort from Molly, so he pulls out the blankets to find the statue of an angel from earlier in the film. The statue seems to be alive as it moved a little to stare right at Sam.

* TearJerker - WHOO BOY. Listen, ladies, lets just get this outta the way. You're gonna cry. Whether it's WaterWorks or ManlyTears, tears will be shed at one point while watching this film.
