Hollywood’s Best ‘I See Dead People’ Movies
In Clint Eastwood’s "Hereafter," Matt Damon plays a psychic who communicates with ghosts, continuing the trend of sensitive treatment of spectral beings. Things were better in the days when Hollywood made really scary movies about those who came back from the grave.
They’re here! Before ghosts needed shrinks, they were our mortal enemies. If you disturbed their eternal peace by, say, digging up their headstones and building suburban subdivisions on top of their bones, they came out of the walls and the TV, and got back at you. Not only that, dead people weren’t afraid to use the stuff you loved against you: beloved clowns became possessed and tried to strangle you, trees tried to eat you, and steaks grew maggots.
