New Monster Factfile

Welcome to another ghoulishly entertaining edition of Monster Factfile. In today's episode we will be telling all about the Superghoul from Michael Jackson's Ghosts




Description:

This breed of creature is a subspecies of demon known as Super Ghoul. In human form they tend to be spellcasters or necromancers. Most well known example of one who happens to be a spellcaster is the Maestro.









Appearance:

They are quite similar in appearance to a Buffy style vampire except they're much cooler looking and have pointed ears and claws. Could almost pass for a member of the Manhattan clan from Disney's Gargoyles if they had horns and wings and a tail. Some have yellow or orangish eyes while the more evil ones have red eyes or sometimes white ones that glow.







Habitat:



These kind of demons like to live in haunted mansions and other dark and scary places. In human form they often like to hang out with various different ghosts from the distant past.



Behaviour traits:



Despite their rather sinister looks, the superghoul is actually quite a likable creature. And often tend to be of the lawful good alignment like the Maestro - the only one of these that wasn't of this alignment was the Mayor after he got posessed and that's because he is of the lawful evil alignment. In human form said superghoul can often be very eccentric and charming and know a lot of magic tricks.







Powers:



These creatures possess a variety of unique supernatural powers when in human and in their natural ghoul form, in human form they possess supernatural magic abilities such as the ability to conjur up a family of ghosts to aid them, in ghoul form they posesss very keen senses, super strength and numerous other demon powers including possession. They are able to possess another person by simply flying into them. By posessing that person they are able to make them do anything - even dancing (like with the Mayor). They are also able to change their size.







Becoming One:



One of the many supernatural powers a super ghoul possess is the ability to transform a person into one of their kind by possessing them. Becoming one yourself might be a difficult task to do if you don't have already someone like MJ to show you how to do it.





Transforming:


The transformation is usually involuntarily and painful at first and usually happens after that person is possessed - as with the Mayor for instance. But eventually the person will get used to it. It's usually a very fun transformation to watch - if you wish to be one yourself you'll need someone like the Maestro to teach you

 In the film version of Leno the love song that plays in the background during the part where Jay and Mavis are having their romantic evening together is Take My Breath Away by Berlin.    This song is from the movie Top Gun and has been featured in commercials and tv shows including the trailer for Toy Story 3 that debuted last month (during the scene where Barbie meets Ken).

The reason we chose that song is because it is not only an awesome song but it is also powerful and a really lovely 80's song.     When we were picking a love song to use in that scene with Jay and Mavis we decided against using My Heart Will Go On from Titanic because these days it's been overdone -  and it's been played so many times it's become annoying.
