Anybody here into the idea of guys getting taken over/possessed by dumb, manly cartoony ghosts? Similar to the posession scenes in the live action Casper movie(s) where the ghostly trio all go inside guy’s mouths and control them/make them morph?
I do find ghosts a fun concept to play with, though they do need to be wacky/cartoony to put enough gloss on the tragic demise aspect of things.
I tend to lean towards influence/control over the living rather than outright posession though. Beetlejuice style hijinks (but, you know, slutty and gay).
I’ve just introduced a morphing ghost in my latest installment. I rewatched casper recently and realised that its that film which started this fantasy for me.
Hey, I don’t know if you’ve read it, but maybe you’d enjoy my story “The Shadow On My Wall”. It’s not cartoony, though readers usually tell me they like the happy ending.
Gads. I cried when I first read that story. So since you posted about it I had to read it again. Wound up with the same reaction. Thank you so for so rewarding a story!
