It might be cool to meet the ghost of Boris Karloff but then again, if the experience was anything like "Thriller" episode "The Incredible Doktor Markesan", it might be downright terrifying.

I'd want to meet the ghost of Marilyn Monroe in the hopes that having been dead for so long she'd be desperate for supernatural phantasmal lovin'. :wink:

I'd be afraid to meet the ghost of John Wayne Gacy, especially if his spirit took the shape of his Pogo persona... the only thing freakier than a child molesting killer clown is an undead child molesting killer clown! :buggedout:

I'd like to meet the ghost of the Marquis de Sade.  Since his whole philosophy revolved around the idea that there was no afterlife, I'd be curious as to how ghosthood had changed his beliefs.

I'd be afraid to meet the ghost of Alistair Crowley, since the fact of his ghosthood would suggest that he was actually right about a lot of things.  Also, I suspect he'd make a particularly mean-spirited spirit.

Glad to see the free DVD contest back, even though I never win.   :bluesad:

Aldous Huxley, I just think that'd be neat.

or

Nathaniel Hawthorne, so I can tell him how much I hate The Scarlet Letter.

OR

Ed Wood, c'mon, do I need to explain

as for a scary one, I'll bet the ghosts of either Hitler or Jack the Ripper would be pretty freaky.

The ghost I'd like to meet and would also scare the pants of me would be Jesus...but then again, who wouldn't be afraid of that? :question:

I would like to meet the ghost of President Kennedy. This country needs help and he can reclaim his presidency.

The ghost that would scare me to whizz would probably be Rasputin. The ghost I would most like to meet is Ed Wood Jr.
Max

The ghost I'd like to meet is Rod Serling.  Any man who can make me remember Burgess Meredith wearing Coke bottle eyeglasses saying, "Time enough to read at last," since my childhood has my vote.  Although I take off my glasses to read I love this episode the best.

The scariest ghost has to be Pontius Pilate.  Any ruler who can sentence the son of God to death then wash his hands of the whole ordeal is downright scary.

I would like to meet, and at the same time NOT like to meet, the guy responsible for more deaths than Hitler even. The Man With The Plan...Joe Stalin.

We'd need an interpreter, of course...

I would also like to meet the ghost of Jack the Ripper to see who he really was. M. J. Druitt? George Lusk? It would be nice (and scary) to have that mystery finally solved.

I would like to meet the ghost of Max Schreck to see if he looks as scary as he did in NOSFERATU.

I would like to meet the ghost of Fay Wray to see her radiant beauty with my own eyes!  :wink:

I would like to both meet and find terrifying Kitty or Greeny Greenwood's ghost.  I think that tops all the dudes mentioned in the other posts.

PICK ME!!!

I would like to meet the ghost of the late Heath Ledger.
To tell him how awesome he was in "The Dark Knight".   :smile:

Hi, Folks...
I'd like to meet the ghosts of Aleister Crowley :hot: and Anton LaVey :hot:: and I think I would like to be the ghost of Julius Caesar or Julius Schwartz... :cheers:

I don't know if I would like to meet any ghosts.  It seems like (going off of the reality shows, movies, documentaries and folklore) that they can do more harm than good.

On the other side of the coin, the ghosts that would scare the poops out of me are:

Possessed Regan from the Exorcist.       :buggedout:
The female ghost from the Grudge.        :buggedout:
Angela (?) from the Night of the Demons :buggedout:
and last but not least,
Emily Rose after she get possessed.       :buggedout:

I get the shivers watching these movies.

Later,

John

The ghost I'd like to meet? Bela,  course!  :smile:
Scariest? Whatever walks in Hill House.  :buggedout:

A ghost that would I would like to meet but also would fear, having both qualities, would be Genghis Khan. He unified the Mongol empire and pressured surrounding regions with brutal military campaigns that would leave his legacy in infamy almost 800 years after his death. His vigilance eliminated the entire Khwarezmian Empire off the map, ordering the death of every person who stood taller than a wagon wheel due to the ill treatment of a trading convoy. Some people seem to have such power in their presence, I am sure this would be lasting after death.

I want to meet the ghost of Bela Lugosi and thank him for all the tremendous pleasure his art has given me over the years.  I would want him to know that he was truly appreciated.

Who would scare me?   Probably no one--there are no cases of a ghost actually harming the living.  But I would find meeting L Ron Hubbard the most distasteful event I can think of.

t would be quite an honor to meet the ghost of a chance.

Email entry:

Definitely one to think about.

At the top of my list would be the ghost of any of my own distant ancestors.

The historic figures, particularly history's villains, would offer an interesting window on the past. Would be fascinating to ask Hitler's ghost what the hell he was thinking.

Out of the good guys, scientists, inventors and visionaries of the past would be cool, whether it be DaVinci, Goddard, Einstein, Bell, the Wright Brothers or whomever.

Can't say what ghost would scare me - Jeffrey Dahmer maybe.

After pruning the thread down to only valid entries (we had a few quick discussions and questions in there), I ran the list through random.org and here are the five winners:

JaseSF
AnubisVonMojo
KryptoTSD
KreepLX
Rykk B

I am sending an email out to all of the winners.  Please reply to that email within 5 days.  Once the list of 5 winners is complete I will send it to Echelon Studios so that they can mail you a "Point of Contact" DVD!  Thanks to everyone for contributing.

Quick side note: I saw the ghost who would scare me pop up in the discussions:  Hitler.  I was undecided who I would want to meet.  Benjamin Franklin seemed like an interesting choice.
