We Have a Ghost ending explained: What really happened to Ernest?

The whole ghostly tale unravelled.

It's easy to see why, as it's filled with genial, ghostly happenings and an ample dose of humour. Maybe it's not one of the best movies of 2023 , but it's a very enjoyable old-fashioned haunted-house comedy.

However, this familiar concept comes with a twist: the ghostly visitor, in this case, ends up turning both his home and host family into a social-media sensation.

Not only that, but We Have a Ghost is hiding a surprisingly emotional finale up its sleeve. So if you were too busy dabbing away those tears to follow what actually happened to the phantom Ernest ( David Harbour ), then we're here to help.

We don't want to spook you, so final warning that there will be major spoilers ahead.

The Presley family consists of dad Frank ( Anthony Mackie ), mom Melanie (Erica Ash), eldest son Fulton (Niles Fitch), and the aforementioned Kevin ( Jahi Di'Allo Winston ).

Kevin is a bit of an outsider in his family, whose series of moves are a result of their father's many failed business ventures. Now in suburban Illinois, Kevin discovers a ghost in their attic who can't remember anything about his past or his life; Kevin guesses his name is Ernest based on the monogrammed bowling shirt the ghost (played by Harbour) wears.

With the help of his neighbour and equal social misfit Joy (Isabella Russo), the two begin to hunt down Ernest's past. Meanwhile, Fulton and Frank discover Kevin's secret ghost pal and film him, becoming a swift YouTube sensation.

They're visited by a medium ( Jennifer Coolidge ), who thinks it's a hoax until Ernest puts on a vicious act, which is Kevin's idea to get the limelight off of them. It only makes them more famous, attracting the attention of ghost hunter Leslie Monroe (Tig Notaro) and the CIA who come to the house to try and capture Ernest.

Kevin and Joy break Ernest out, but at a playground, Ernest acts strange around a little girl and scares her; the moment is filmed and goes viral. This allows Monroe to get a warrant to get into the Presley home, but Melanie warns her son the fuzz is on his trail.

Joy's research reveals that Ernest isn't really Ernest; the real Ernest is still alive, so they track him down and real-Ernest reveals the ghost is actually his brother-in-law named Randy. He says Randy lost his wife (real Ernest's wife's sister, it's slightly confusing) in childbirth and one day dropped his daughter June off, never to return; real-Ernest suspected Randy drank himself to death.

Ghost-Ernest/Randy appears and angrily confronts real-Ernest just as Monroe turns up and apprehends Ernest. A confused Kevin returns home and distances himself from Joy and his family.

The captured ghost-Ernest/Randy is being tortured/experimented on when a memory surfaces of the truth – ghost-Ernest/Randy dropped his daughter June off only for real-Ernest to murder him so that they could keep ghost-Ernest/Randy's daughter for themselves. Real-Ernest dressed the corpse in the bowling shirt and buried him in the backyard.

Monroe, having a change of heart, lets Ernest go. Meanwhile, the suspicious real-Ernest breaks into the Presley home to kill Kevin out of fear that Kevin will reveal the truth, leading to a confrontation with the family.

In the attic, real-Ernest tells the whole story to Kevin, and just as he's about to kill him ghost-Ernest/Randy comes to help. Then Frank appears and rushes real-Ernest, pushing him out of the window and saving his son.

Later, Kevin is being interrogated by the CIA, who are asking what happened to ghost-Ernest/Randy. Kevin says he vanished. We see however that Frank tracked down June and reunites her with her dad's ghost in an emotional moment of closure for everyone.

Kevin and ghost-Ernest/Randy share a final moment skipping stones on the shore, but ghost-Ernest/Randy begins to disappear. Later, the Presley family prepare to move though only a few miles away. Kevin and Joy are officially a couple.

In the attic, Kevin asks Joy if she thinks ghost-Ernest/Randy can still see them from wherever he is, and she says maybe. They leave the attic, and after a brief moment of stillness, a bare bulb begins to flicker.

We Have a Ghost is available to watch now on Netflix.

We Have a Ghost Ending, Explained: How Did Randy Die?

Directed by Christopher Landon, Netflix’s horror comedy film ‘We Have a Ghost’ follows Kevin Presley, who moves into a haunted house in Chicago with his father Frank, mother Melanie, and brother Fulton. While settling in at the new house, Kevin comes across a ghost named Ernest, who cannot talk or remember anything about his life before his death. Kevin decides to unravel the mystery behind Ernest’s past and death so that he wouldn’t feel lost. Their efforts lead them to several revelations and unexpected turn of events. Since the film ends with a significant unanswered question, the viewers must want to make sense of the same. Well, here are our thoughts about it! SPOILERS AHEAD.

We Have a Ghost Plot Synopsis

‘We Have a Ghost’ begins with a family abandoning a haunted house after seemingly encountering a ghost. A year later, Frank and his wife Melanie decide to move into the same house with their sons Kevin and Fulton, without being aware of the presence of the ghost, since they are able to buy the same for a low price. While Kevin is settling in at the house, he hears strange noises in the attic and comes across a ghost named Ernest, who tries to scare him. Kevin shoots their encounter using his phone while laughing, making it clear that he isn’t scared of Ernest. Kevin talks to the ghost, who lets the former know that he cannot talk or remember anything.

Frank and Fulton watch the footage of Ernest and post the same on the internet to become famous. They also meet the ghost, only for Frank to realize that he can make enough money by taking advantage of Ernest. He and Fulton team up to upload videos of Ernest, which garners millions of viewers. Leslie Monroe, a parapsychologist, comes to know about Ernest and meets CIA Deputy Director Arnold Schipley to restart Wizard Clip, a program spearheaded to learn more about paranormal entities. While Leslie and CIA officials arrive at Frank’s house to capture Ernest for their studies and potential uses, Kevin teams up with his neighbor Joy to run away from the city with Ernest.

Joy discovers that the ghost is not really Ernest since the man with the same name who previously lived in the haunted house is alive. The trio eventually meets the real Ernest Scheller, who reveals that the ghost is actually Randy McGovern, the husband of his wife Ramona’s sister. According to Ernest, Randy apparently killed himself after the death of his wife, leaving his daughter June with the former and his wife. Meanwhile, Leslie and other CIA officials arrive at Ernest’s house and capture Randy, only to lock him up. Deputy Director Schipley reveals to Leslie that the CIA can do anything with Randy since he is already dead. Leslie realizes that the agency is considering the ghost as a weapon, which makes her free him from custody.

We Have a Ghost Ending: How Did Randy Die? Why Did Ernest Kill Him?

Ever since meeting Randy, Kevin has been curious about the death and past of the ghost. Although Ernest tells him that Randy might have killed himself, he doesn’t believe that the man he got bonded with is capable of abandoning his daughter by killing himself. However, he doesn’t get any time to dive into the same further since Leslie and her squad capture Randy. While in custody, the ghost sees an eagle-shaped lapel pin on the uniform of an officer and he remembers an eagle sculpture he noticed at Ernest’s house. The recollection triggers his memory and he remembers that Ernest killed him using the same eagle sculpture.

Randy, while he was alive, never intended to abandon his daughter June. When his wife died, he looked after his daughter on his own. He sought Ernest and the latter’s wife Ramona’s help if needed since they were seemingly his only relatives. Ernest and Ramona didn’t have kids and they were desperate to have one. When Ramona’s sister died, they started to believe that Randy would not be able to look after June on his own, which made them yearn for the little girl to nurture her as their daughter. To materialize their wish, Ernest had to kill him. He buried Ernest in the same house Kevin eventually move into, which explains why Randy’s ghost gets stuck at the house.

After Randy’s wife’s death, Ernest and Ramona wanted June to have a father and mother who would be able to commit their lives to her. Randy alone was incapable of doing the same in Ernest and Ramona’s views, which motivate them to kill the former.

Is Ernest/Randy Gone for Good?

While Randy escapes from the CIA facility, Ernest confronts Kevin to kill the latter, fearing the boy knows about him murdering the former. Randy, who arrives at the house by the time of Ernest and Kevin’s confrontation, protects Kevin from the viciousness of the murderer. Frank eventually kills Ernest. After the incident, regaining memory completely, Randy reconnects with his daughter June. However, right after the father and daughter’s meeting, the ghost starts to vanish slowly and eventually disappears from the region. Kevin starts to wonder whether Randy is gone for good since the ghost doesn’t appear before him after the incident.

Randy must have vanished since he fulfills his apparent objectives as a ghost. After Ernest’s death, Kevin and Frank take June to the ghost of her father, only for the father and daughter to share a few affectionate moments. With the help of Kevin, Randy regains his memory, avenges his death, and reconnects with his daughter. Considering that the same must have been the aspirations of Randy, the purpose of him becoming a ghost must have been fulfilled as well.

If that’s the case, it is understandable that Randy disappears in front of Kevin, likely since there isn’t any objective left for the ghost to pursue. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Randy is gone for good. When Kevin leaves the house, a bulb in the attic flashes, indicating that Randy possibly is still in the house but without a physical appearance. He must have gotten salvation after meeting June, which explains why he is unable to appear before Kevin while he is parting ways with the house they met. Randy may follow Kevin without being able to appear before him and make the latter realize that he is with the boy using objects such as the bulbs.

Do Kevin and Joy End Up Together?

Yes, Kevin and Joy do end up together. When Kevin first meets Joy, he notices that she is a musician like him. After getting to know her better, he realizes that they are not severely different. Both of them feel that they don’t belong at the place they are currently in and with the people they share their lives with, especially since they are seen as peculiar. Kevin and Joy grew distant from their respective fathers, which made them find comfort in loneliness. These similarities bring them closer and the same pave the way for their union.

Both Kevin and Joy live among people who only bother to mock them or take advantage of their vulnerability. That’s when they both notice how selfless the other person is. Joy admires Kevin’s determination to unravel the mystery concerning Randy to help the ghost and Kevin admires Joy’s resilience to extend her support to him even when she gets forced to fight authorities. The compassion and consideration they both express become the foundation of their relationship. Although Kevin moves from the house next to Joy’s, he lets her know that he is just five miles away with a kiss. Considering his words, it is evident that they will continue to spend their time with each other and nurture their togetherness.

‘We Have a Ghost’ Ending Explained: Netflix’s Horror Comedy Ends With Complicated Plot Twist

Where to stream:.

We Have a Ghost

We Have a Ghost , which began streaming on Netflix today, starts off as a fun-filled spectral adventure.

Written and directed by Christopher Landon, best known for the Happy Death Day films, this new film is more of a family comedy than it is a horror movie. Jahi Di’Allo Winston stars as Kevin, a teenage boy who moves into a new home with his father (played by Anthony Mackie), mother, and brother. One day, Kevin discovers another member of the household—a ghost living in the attic (played with charm by Stranger Things star David Harbour). Though the ghost can’t talk, the name tag on his shirt says his name is Ernest. Kevin wants to help Ernest move on to the afterlife, but Kevin’s father has other ideas—like using Ernest to turn the family into famous social media stars.

Unfortunately, what could have been a fun romp eventually gets bogged down by an overly complicated plot, resulting in a two-hour-and-seven-minute runtime. That’s all well and good for Marvel, but a Netflix family comedy? C’mon. If you grew impatient, or confused, by the We Have a Ghost ending, don’t worry, because Decider is here to help. Read on for a breakdown of the We Have a Ghost plot summary and We Have a Ghost ending, explained. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

We Have a Ghost plot summary:

Kevin (Jahi Di’Allo Winston) is a teenage boy who moves to a new town and discovers that his family’s new house is haunted by a ghost named Ernest (David Harbour). Thankfully, Ernest is a friendly ghost—he just can’t remember who he is. Kevin resolves to help figure out who Ernest was when he was alive, with the help of his tech-savvy new friend, Joy (Isabella Russo).

But when Kevin’s father, Frank (Anthony Mackie), finds out about Ernest, he has other ideas. Frank posts a video of Ernest the ghost on social media that goes viral, and Frank sees an opportunity to use Ernest to bring his family fame and fortune. That goes well for a while until the videos catch the eye of a government agent named Dr. Leslie Monroe who wants to hunt down Ernest and lock him up in a ghost cage. After an incident in which Ernest terrifies a psychic (Jennifer Coolidge) and accidentally terrorizes some kids in a park, Kevin, Joy, and Ernest go on the run, hoping to find out who Ernest is and help him move on to the afterlife before he is locked up.

Through internet sleuthing, Kevin and Joy discover that the real man named Ernest is not, in fact, their ghost friend. They track down the real Ernest, who tells the kids that the ghost’s real name is Randy. Randy was Ernest’s brother-in-law. Randy’s wife died in labor and left him as a single father to a daughter named June. Ernest says that Randy became an alcoholic after his wife died, and abandoned his daughter with Ernest and his wife. He disappeared, and Ernest assumed that Randy drank himself to death.

Before ghost-Ernest has a chance to confirm whether the story is true, a scary SWAT team busts into the room. Ghost-Ernest is captured while trying to protect Kevin. He is brought to a scary government facility and put in a ghost cage. But after sharing a touching moment with the ghost, Tig Notaro’s character, Dr. Monroe, is uneasy with the plan to possibly hurt ghost-Ernest.

We Have a Ghost plot twist explained:

While he is being ordered around by the government men, the ghost-Ernest suddenly remembers his past: When he was alive, as Randy, he dropped off his daughter June at his friend Ernest’s house. Ernest attacked and killed Randy, getting blood on his bowling shirt. He put the shirt on Randy’s dead body and buried him in the backyard of his house. And that house just happens to be the same house that Kevin and his family moved into.

Why did he do all of that? Because the real Ernest and his wife weren’t able to have children, and really wanted them. So instead of trying to, like, adopt a child, they decided to steal their 5-year-old niece, June, and kill her father! Perfectly sound logic! Apparently, though, it backfired, because the real-Ernest reveals that June is no longer speaking to him or his wife. “Maybe, deep down, she knows,” he says.

We Have a Ghost ending explained:

Tig Notaro helps the ghost Ernest escape. Meanwhile, the real Ernest breaks into his own house, aka Kevin’s house, and drunkenly threatens to kill Kevin, because he’s worried that Kevin knows everything. Luckily, ghost-Ernest shows up just in time to save Kevin and his family. That said, technically Kevin’s father Frank is the one who kills human-Ernest—he attempts to attack the ghost, goes right through him, and accidentally pushes the human Ernest out of the window.

After it’s all over, Kevin tells the government agents a half-truth—that the ghost disappeared, now that he was able to get closure. Kevin leaves out the part where he was able to reunite June, now a grown woman, with her ghost dad. After their touching reunion, ghost-Ernest slowly fades away, finally able to move on to whatever comes next after this life. In the final scene of the movie, Kevin and Joy take one last look at the attic, now that Kevin’s family is moving out of the house. Kevin expresses his hope that Ernest can still see them, wherever he is. Then Kevin takes Joy’s hand as they leave the attic, and the movie ends. And no, there is not a We Have a Ghost after credits scene.

Does it make sense? No, not really! We Have a Ghost is fun, but unfortunately got bogged down by this convoluted plot in the end. Oh, well. We’ll always have David Harbour’s facial expressions .

The Ending Of Netflix's We Have A Ghost Explained

A heartfelt horror family comedy that scares up serious laughs — and a few misty eyes — "We Have a Ghost" is a unique, heartwarming film. Starring David Harbour, Anthony Mackie and Jahi Di'Allo Winston — and featuring work from names like Tig Notaro, Jennifer Coolidge and Faith Ford — its story (written and directed by Michael Landon 's son Christopher) follows a lonely teenager named Kevin (Winston) as he deals with his family's old problems in their new Chicago home. Kevin starts the film wanting to be alone, but his connection with Ernest (Harbour), the mysterious (and silent) ghost that haunts his attic, broadens the young man's horizons. As he works to help Ernest get unstuck from the house, Kevin finds his world expanding, relationships deepening, and CIA ghost-hunters hot on his tail.

In many ways, "Ghost" feels like an Amblin film made for modern audiences. It handles sweet, scary, and silly situations with depth and style —- and at a fairly long runtime for a family film, even if it is a fun world to play in. Based on " Ernest " by Geoff Manaugh and executed by Landon (who made "Freaky," " Happy Death Day 2U ," and a solid slice of the "Paranormal Activity" franchise), the filmmaker employs some impressive genre proficiency to make "Ghost" a fun ride through a surprisingly emotional haunted house.

While the film tackles tough subjects, it does so without a trace of cynicism or sugar-coating. It's no easy trick. Creak up the stairs to the thematic attic of this fun, deeply felt piece of spooky cinema and discover the secretive ending of Netflix's "We Have a Ghost."

Parents just don't understand

Kevin is a sweet, frustrated kid. Played with quiet confidence and wounded reservation by "Charm City Kings" star Winston , Kevin starts "We Have a Ghost" suffering from disconnection. He's awkward at conversation, on top of being the new kid in town. He's also grappling with his well-meaning but overbearing dad Frank's get-rich-quick schemes and tendency to move the family around. Kevin and Frank clearly love one another, but they can't connect. Good thing there's a ghost in the attic.

The '70s guitar music that Kevin loves and his dad just doesn't understand is ultimately what lures the mysterious Ernest ( David Harbour ) into the land of the living. Kevin's music makes Ernest feel safe, just like Ernest's active listening makes Kevin feel heard. Ernest isn't just a good listener because he's silent, either. He pays attention to Kevin, and is attuned in to the kid's emotions and desires in a way Frank just isn't. While Kevin gets a different sort of dad energy from Ernest, he also gets to give it.

Kevin and Ernest need to care and be cared for deeply, and finding an opportunity to do that with each other is a great help. Harbour and Winston are both expressive and vulnerable as scene partners, sometimes communicating oceans of emotion in a single shared look. Kevin empathizes with Ernest's sense of feeling stuck, committing to help Ernest get right with whatever he needs to from his past, so he can safely move on. This is ultimately what Ernest will help Kevin and Frank do — give them an opportunity to connect over feeling "stuck" in old perceptions of one another.

Split happens

Kevin and Ernest's relationship is the soul of " We Have a Ghost ," but Kevin and Frank's is its off-beat heart.

Frank is played to humorous, heartbreaking perfection by Mackie ; he wants the best for his family and is hopeful their new house will help him deliver on his promises. But listening and moderation aren't Frank's strong suits. Frank's selfishness and rough communication skills drive a wedge between him and his family — and the gap is widest between him and Kevin.

Kevin pours traditional father-son energy into his relationship with Ernest, communicates frustrations with his father's selfishness to Joy, and although he knows he and Frank are disconnected, is resigned to it. Frank isn't played as typical bad dad, however. Frank might not be hearing his family, but just like how a ghost attempts to communicate with flickering lights, something starts to register as Frank watches his son defy him, flee, and ultimately become endangered by the very attention Frank draws to him. Frank's realization that he is the reason the lack of connection exists comes to bear in a powerful monologue Mackie delivers softly near the end of the movie.

Seeing how much Kevin cares for Ernest helps Frank admit his fears to his son, and that he sees Ernest as a way to finally provide for his family. When Frank both listens to and honestly shares himself with Kevin, it gives father and son an exorcism of sorts — and room to grow.

The importance of being Ernest

"Ghost" opens with a big house bathed in moonlight — and a bloodcurdling scream. Out runs a family, fleeing for their lives; its a gorgeous (if typical) horror opener to a not-so-typical family comedy. The cause of the fright is Ernest, the not-so-typical ghost. Ernest doesn't know who he is, or anything about who he was. As a result of his lost identity, all he has known since his 1970s death is fear — feeling it, and causing it. Of course, all of that changes when in moves Kevin.

Kevin is not your "typical" movie teenager. He's tender, observant, and immediately understands that Ernest is trapped in the house, and always will be unless he discovers the truth about himself. The movie doesn't make a meal of its metaphors, but everyone in the film is in danger of being stuck in their own unhappily haunted house, unless they deal with the pain they've tucked away in the attic — or the bodies buried in the backyard.

Kevin helps Ernest discover he isn't Ernest at all, but Randy — a man brutally murdered by his "friend" (the real Ernest) so he and his wife could steal Randy's kid, June. More importantly, Kevin helps Ernest remember his life as a dad. By letting his anger and scare tactics fall away to communication and connection, Ernest discovers, through Kevin, that his daughter has always loved him. Even if he forgot how he important he was, June never did. Ernest — and David Harbour 's deeply felt performance — is a powerful reminder that people matter, even when they feel lost and forgotten.

Kindred spirits

Kevin and Ernest aren't the only souls stumbling on their search for connection. Frank Presley longs to connect with his family, even when he doesn't listen to them. Melanie (Erica Ash) wants to connect with Kevin, even when he's on the run. Dr. Leslie Monroe (Notaro) aches to get the old Wizard Clip gang back together, even if she's not so sure how she really feels about ghosts. Even Fake Jesus (Nicholas X. Parsons) tries to connect with the Presleys to get his slice of the viral ghost fame pie.

In fact, Fulton (Niles Fitch) and "The West Bay Medium" ( Coolidge ) might be the only characters in the film who aren't desperately seeking a better bond with themselves, their friends, or families. Interestingly, they're also the two with the strongest media brands — is writer/director Landon trying to tell his audience something about the key to effective social media engagement?

Kevin's trombone-blaring neighbor, Joy Yoshino (Isabella Russo) finds a kindred spirit in Kevin, and not just because he's a cutie and she has a crush. Kevin helps bust Joy loose of her typical parental "programming," reminding her that there's a life to be lived outside her strict extracurricular schedule. Joy's connection with Kevin and Ernest gives her life. All of the seeking and finding in the movie act as a heartfelt reminder that when someone finds a kindred spirit, they live a little bit better — even if they're already dead.

Dr. Leslie Monroe's change of heart

Notaro's Dr. Leslie Monroe is scared of ghosts. Played with pitch-perfect frazzled scientist energy, Notaro creates a character who has dedicated her life to proving ghosts exist — and that they're dangerous. While viewers don't get much information on the frightening encounter little Leslie experienced as a kid, it's clear that Monroe is haunted by the experience — as well as getting cut cold by the CIA when they closed her " The X-Files "-esque operation, Wizard Clip.

Even though Dr. Monroe is openly disrespected by a former colleague, Steve Coulter's Deputy Director Arnold Schipley, she's still desperate to win back his support after years on the sidelines. She is brutish to the Presleys in her hot pursuit of the ghost — and former glory. Her blind faith in Schipley fades when Dr. Monroe finally comes face to face with Ernest. Instead of being scared by the spirit, however, Ernest shows kindness and care. It surprises Dr. Monroe. When Ernest wipes a tear from her eye, he also wipes a prejudice from her heart.

Shipley plans to do whatever he wants to the "dead" being, and tosses Dr. Monroe a minimal thank you for "assisting" him in Ernest's capture. Later, when Ernest is seemingly tortured by another guard, it's Dr. Monroe who pulls out one of "the ladies" and draws on her colleagues, showing even someone as stuck in the past as Dr. Monroe is capable of growth and change. It's Dr. Monroe's change of ghost-fearing heart that helps save Ernest and, by extension, Kevin and his family's life. That's some personal growth so good, it's spooky .

Ghosts gone viral

" We Have a Ghost " explores some meaty, metaphysical themes with a light touch (and a lot of car chases), but it also asks a compelling question: What would happen if a ghost went viral? The movie feels on target with its depiction, as people don't handle GhostTok too well.

The Presleys draw lots of attention, from Fake Jesus to Doctor Phil. Their house is swarmed with fans. Fulton may or may not date a ghost groupie — it's unclear who he's talking to on that phone call. While the attention wins Fulton some clout (and stresses Kevin and Melanie out), Frank seems to welcome the fan frenzy— until it leads to his family being under siege.

Wizard Clip authorities invading the Presley house and holding the Presleys prisoner evokes both Amblin '80s films like "E.T." and, perhaps, even real-life police brutality. Regardless of any filmmaking intention, much is expressed when a kid like Kevin ends up surrounded by patrol vehicles, or the Presleys are forced to cede control of their own home. Just like Dr. Monroe says, all supernatural beings are real until they're not; viral ghost attention is all fun and games until someone has a gun in your face and demands that you "comply."

Will the real Ernest Scheller please stand up

"These entities, they are dangerous," insists Dr. Leslie Monroe. "They never are who they say they are."

The good doctor is referring to ghosts — but what she says also applies to creeps of living and flesh and blood, like the real Ernest Scheller. "Our Ernest" applies to Ernest the ghost, played by David Harbour . However, his character is only so named because of the bowling shirt he wears bearing the name on the front, and a very cute (and bloodstain free) banana split on the back. Of course, Ernest isn't really his character's real name.

Joy tracks down the real Ernest Scheller (Tom Bower), who sold ghost Ernest's house back in the '70s. Kevin, Ernest, and Joy set out to find out what Ernest Scheller knows, and he tells the kids their Ernest's real name — Randy — as well as a line of baloney about how he abandoned his daughter after his wife's death and probably drank himself into the next realm.

This Ernest is blatantly — and believably — lying about. Ernest Scheller is not only a killer of men and a thief of children — he's a low-down, dirty, lying dog. What's extra heartbreaking is that Ernest (or Randy, if you're a purist) believes this Ernest is telling the truth — he's still at a point in the movie where he hasn't remembered the truth of his past. Kevin calls BS on this Ernest, and loves his Ernest anyway — which is ultimately what helps them both uncover the truth, even if the real Ernest sets out to kill Kevin and anyone else to which he might have told his tall tales.

Where eagles dare

Everyone knows ghosts go bump in the night — but what about eagle statuettes? In the " We Have a Ghost " scene where Kevin learns about Randy "abandoning" June with the "real" Ernest and his wife, an eagle statuette appears to randomly fall from a bookcase in Ernest Scheller's house. This Ernest asks if Randy is present, looking concerned at the thought of his former friend haunting him, even if just for a moment. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment that gains major significance when our Ernest (Randy) opens his memory floodgates.

Even if our Ernest didn't know why he was compelled to knock the eagle statuette over back at Ernest Scheller's house, the flashback spurred by seeing a Wizard Clip guard's eagle pin reminds our Ernest what that statuette had to do with his death. While Ernest Scheller spins a yarn about a wrecked Randy dropping his kid off and disappearing off the face of the earth, we see the truth.

Randy and June pay a pleasant visit to Ernest Scheller's house (Kevin's house), and Mrs. Scheller takes June upstairs. Then, young Ernest Scheller stone-cold clocks Randy with that eagle statuette, drags his body to the backyard, and buries him in his bloody bowling shirt. A no-muss, no-fuss murder — at least until Kevin Presley shows up and starts asking questions. Suddenly, it is understandable why our Ernest has that intense wave of recognition when Kevin and Joy take him into the backyard for the first time — and why, back at Ernest Scheller's new house, our Ernest's ghost subconscious made that eagle statuette take flight.

New (ghost) rules

Something fun about every ghost movie is how the filmmakers make — or break —- supernatural rules. Ghosts get a lot of new bells and whistles in " We Have a Ghost ," but because they're so tied to the movie's themes, none of them seem too wacky to be believed — even if they allow for a lot of off-road ghost action.

Most notably in the film, ghosts can decide to touch people and objects. This is initially played for scares and/or laughs (like when Ernest helps Kevin scare Fulton off in a tussle), but it's played for irritation and fascination later, as Joy can't stop touching Ernest's knee, thrilled that she has the chance. Of course, the corporeality is played to great sentimental effect when Ernest wipes away Dr. Monroe's tear.

This is nothing in comparison to how Ernest's ability to interact with the physical world is played to extreme (and extremely dangerous) hijinks potential when he, Kevin, and Joy take off for a ghost road trip. No one has truly lived until they see a cops-and-robbers-style car chase that gives " The French Connection " a run for its money, albeit with runaway teens and ghosts.

Ernest saves the Presleys

From " The Conjuring " to "The Shining," "The Amityville Horror" to " Beetlejuice ," things don't typically go well for families who move into haunted houses. "We Have a Ghost" is different, however, because the Presley family isn't doomed by their ghost — but saved by him.

The Presleys kick the movie off being bad communicators — disconnected and operating at a low simmer of disappointment with one another most of the time. But by the end of the film, they've lived through terrible interrogations, solved a murder mystery, and made a ghost a celebrity who can score free Lyft rides. By the time Ernest bids the Presleys farewell, they have deeply bonded with one another. Even if communication won't always come easy, there is the sense that this family will work to keep their hard-won connections.

Without this newfound understanding and support for one another, the Presleys wouldn't be able to provide a path for Ernest to move on. But they are able to reunite Ernest and his daughter, and he is able to bid both of his families a final, touching farewell before glittering into the great beyond. The Presleys are able to give Ernest the love and care he needs to leave the earthly plane, and Ernest unites the Presleys so they can finally make their haunted house a home.

Friendly ghosts

"We Have a Ghost" is a big, beautiful movie. The sets and costume design are stunning, the set pieces are expansive, and it pulls off a credibly otherworldly ghost. The movie's heart is as strong as its ensemble, who deftly handle tonal shifts on the sweet-to-scary scale. The movie also isn't afraid to linger in dramatic depths a beat longer than you might expect, or comedic character moments that color the world of the film that much brighter.

Much the same can be said for " Stranger Things ," the wildly successful TV series powered by touches of nostalgia and floods of heartfelt horror that take more than a little inspiration from Stephen King and Steven Spielberg. Even if "We Have Ghost" didn't star the leading man from that series (David Harbour), the two would still share a lot of storytelling inspirations.

"This really is my love letter to Spielberg, and to "E.T." specifically," writer/director Christopher Landon said to SlashFilm in 2023. "I think that was the most inspiring film for me. Just this unusual connection between a young boy and this ghost."

Spirit, will there be a sequel?

While Ernest and Kevin's story seems all wrapped up and there's no official word on " We Have A Ghost " getting a sequel, Landon certainly seems open to franchises (he's been involved with multiple "Happy Death Day" and "Paranormal Activity" films). Perhaps, it seems, there could even be some scary-good ideas for a "Ghost" spin-off series.

"We Have A Ghost: Unhappy Medium" could bring back Coolidge as fake medium Judy Romano. Ford would also return as Judy's sunny-but-struggling realtor, Barbara Mangold.

Imagine the two ladies going on haunted house hunts in between tapings of "The West Bay Medium." The twist? Ford is a real medium, and ends up solving mysteries for spirit clients while she seeks out the perfect new houses for her living ones.

Notaro could theoretically return as Mangold's unhappy neighbor, who gains new purpose in her life when Romano hires her to help run the show — and chase down ghosts. Perhaps there could even be a cameo from Harbour in the form of blinking lights. Between The Upside Down and Ernest crossing over, he'd find the juice to light up the spin-off ladies' lives. Then again, Jennifer Coolidge is in high demand these days; as nice as it would be to tie her up with such a spin-off series, in some ways it feels like there's barely a ghost of a chance.

We Have a Ghost's Ending Is More Heartfelt Than Expected

Netflix's We Have a Ghost creates a sentimental ending as the mystery behind David Harbour's Ernest and his death gets uncovered by Kevin and Joy.

The following contains spoilers for We Have a Ghost, streaming now on Netflix .

Netflix's We Have a Ghost has David Harbour's Ernest as a funny ghost at first, trying hard to scare off Frank's ( Anthony Mackie ) family at a Chicago wooden mansion. The youngest son, Kevin, ends up bonding with Ernest, though, and in time, he tries to figure out why the ghost can't talk or remember his past. Clearly, Ernest is not at rest, so Kevin and his friend, Joy, try to figure out why.

As they avoid the paranormal hunters from the CIA, they learn the real Ernest is alive, and the ghost is actually Randy: the brother-in-law that borrowed Ernest's bowling shirt. That kickstarts a dark series of events, nodding to director Christopher Landon's knack for splicing comedy, horror and drama together, per the Happy Death Day movies . It leads to a wild finale, where the truth's unraveled, and Kevin learns an important lesson about love and family.

We Have a Ghost Confirms Randy Isn't Evil

Ernest tells the kids Randy became a drunk after his wife died, so Ernest left his child, June, there. They assumed Randy went off and died as a drunk, but later, Ernest shows up at home to kill Kevin. The kid's confused, but Ernest is adamant he has to remove all traces they met. That ties into Randy in captivity after the CIA raids Ernest's home, with memories revealing Ernest knocked Randy out. Randy died, so Ernest buried him in the backyard, as Ernest and his now-ill wife wanted June for themselves.

Thankfully, the CIA agent, Leslie, helps free Randy as she realizes the government will conduct harmful experiments. Randy flies home and helps save Kevin from Ernest, reaffirming Kevin's belief that Randy isn't a deadbeat. Frank joins the fight, knocking Ernest through the attic window and to his death. The finale has Randy, days later, embracing an older June and saying goodbye to everyone. His soul's at peace, so he heads to the afterlife, grateful he met Kevin.

Frank Finds Redemption in We Have a Ghost

While it's endearing seeing Ernest get closure with June in We Have a Ghost , Frank's arc also comes full circle. He's a hustler who failed at many get-rich-quick schemes, which forced his family to move. Kevin grew irate that Frank turned to exploiting their privacy, turning Ernest into viral gold. That broke Kevin's faith in the man, but Frank racing upstairs redeems his character.

Kevin views him as a respectable and loving man again, compounded by Frank bringing June to the lake. That helps them all appreciate the idea of family even more. Frank's atonement even helps Kevin feel comfortable enough to start a relationship with Joy. Coincidentally, it's what Randy wanted all along for the two teens who were obviously in love as they worked the mystery with his restless spirit.

To see this heartfelt ending, We Have a Ghost is now streaming on Netflix.

Netflix's 'We Have A Ghost' Ending Explained — Is Randy Still Alive? (SPOILERS)

There is a lot to unpack after the ending of Netflix's 'We Have A Ghost.' Is the ghost still alive? Here is the ending of the movie explained.

Feb. 26 2023, Published 1:21 p.m. ET

Spoiler alert: This article contains major spoilers for We Have A Ghost.

Streaming platform Netflix released a ghost-haunting movie We Have A Ghost , starring Anthony Mackie , David Harbour , and White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge. The story centers on a family that moves into a house, only to find out that the house is haunted. But, there are still a few things about the ending that need to be explained.

During the movie, a plot twist arrives and brings excitement and confusion. What happened to Ernest? Who is Randy? Is there a sequel coming? Here is the explanation of We Have A Ghost 's ending.

The ending of 'We Have a Ghost' is explained by a plot twist involving David Habour's character.

Midway through the movie, it's revealed that the ghost Ernest (played by Stranger Things actor David) is not actually Ernest. In fact, Ernest is still alive. The ghost of the film turns out to be Ernest's brother-in-law Randy. Randy was able to trick everyone by wearing a jumpsuit with Ernest's name on it.

Throughout the movie, Randy barely spoke more than a few words. David has since talked to Discussing Film and said that "I really like a challenge, but you also want to be good in things. But I prefer a challenge more than doing the same thing. So it was a lot of fun."

While Randy is nice to Kevin and the rest of the family, Ernest is not. Near the end of the film, Ernest attempts to kill Kevin after revealing to him that he was the one who killed his brother Randy. Before Ernest shoots the gun at Kevin, Randy tries to save his life and Kevin's dad Frank pushes Ernest out of the window. It is suspected that the fall killed him.

By the end of the movie, Randy reunites with his daughter June, who he left with Ernest before he died. Then, he began to disappear and eventually Randy vanishes.

There is a storyline opening for a sequel movie.

At the end of the film, when Kevin and his neighbor Joy leave the house, a bulb begins to flicker . This gives the idea that Randy is listening and could make a return. Or, it could even be Ernest coming back to seek vengeance on the family after Frank pushed him out of the window. There hasn't been any official word from Netflix if there will be a sequel film yet.

The only factor that may delay a possible sequel would be time. The director Christopher Landon, who also directed Happy Death Day , recently reflected on what it took to capture the idea of David Harbour being a ghost. "Every time I shot David, I had to shoot him four different ways to achieve the look that we have in the film. So that was very, very daunting. It would be daunting for any actor to have to go through that."

The movie began filming all the way back in 2021 and wasn't released until this month.

Wakanda forefer ending explained.

The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending explained the various questions viewers had within the wake of T’Challa’s loss of life — although these famous for the MCU’s destiny were not all obvious. The final movie of Phase four of the MCU finds Ryan Coogler returning to direct and co-write the powerful follow-up that offers with the demise of T’Challa inside the aftermath of Chadwick Boseman’s passing in real lifestyles. As such, the film serves as a touching tribute to the actor and his individual while also setting up Shuri as the brand new Black Panther and introducing a new MCU villain within the form of Namor. With a lot happening, there is a lot to provide an explanation for with the finishing of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as the sequel hits Disney+.

Along with its Disney+ launch, Wakanda Forever has recently been nominated for 5 Academy Awards inclusive of Angela Bassett for Best Supporting Actress, the primary performing nomination within the MCU. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ties up maximum of its storylines, but it leaves several doors open as it teases what’s to come, which includes Shuri’s new position as Black Panther, Namor’s next plans following his defeat, and the legacy of T’Challa with the reveal of his son. The film also in addition explored Wakanda as a nation and saw it facing big adjustments with the loss of life of Queen Ramonda, M’Baku taking the throne as the brand new king, and attacks from the outside world. Ultimately, the film unveiled plenty of storylines to consider after the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Shuri Is The MCU’s New Black Panther

Though there have been many sturdy applicants for who could take over the function, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending defined why Shuri became the right desire because the MCU’s new Black Panther. Following the dying of Queen Ramonda, Shuri keeps her paintings to recreate the heart-formed herb. The artificial introduction works, and she or he dons her new Black Panther suit, following in her brother’s footsteps. Similar to T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War, Shuri starts offevolved her course as Black Panther blinded by a choice for revenge. However, though she wishes Namor to pay for the demise of her mom, it’s miles Queen Ramonda’s phrases that convince Shuri to expose mercy or even sympathize with Namor in the long run, displaying the kind of Black Panther she can be. With Shuri established within the role, there are some of places the brand new Black Panther should show up next. The friendship that Shuri develops with Riri Williams on this movie turned into one of the highlights of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It would make experience if she joined her new friend in her own solo series with the upcoming Ironheart. Shuri can also connect to Armor Wars as the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending defined that there have been outdoor forces attempting to steal Wakanda’s Vibranium, much like the storyline involving human beings going after Stark tech. However, for the reason that Shuri is getting into T’Challa’s position within the MCU, it appears obvious that she can be a part of the alternative heroes as part of the new Avengers in Avengers: Kang Dynasty. What T’Challa’s Son Means For The MCU

In an emotional post-credit score scene, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s finishing explained that T’Challa and Nakia had a son named Toussaint. The give up of the movie reveals Shuri touring Nakia in Haiti in which she performs an intimate ceremony on a seaside, coming to peace with the demise of T’Challa. In the credit scene, Nakia introduces Shuri to Toussaint and explains that she and T’Challa determined to elevate him in Haiti faraway from the pressures of the throne. Toussaint then exhibits to Shuri that his Wakandan call is Prince T’Challa. It is a touching moment and some other manner the Wakanda Forever ending contains on T’Challa’s legacy inside the MCU. Toussaint’s MCU advent also increases questions about his viable future role. Though it’d appear fitting for T’Challa’s son to take in the Black Panther mantle, Wakanda Forever genuinely mounted that Shuri is the proper desire, specifically thinking about how younger Toussaint is — though she may additionally teach T’Challa Jr. To follow in her footsteps. As a rightful heir, Prince T’Challa may additionally are trying to find to take the throne now. M’Baku has shown his recognize for T’Challa and his family, so it’s miles in all likelihood he would no longer mission Prince T’Challa. However, for the reason that he changed into raised far from Wakanda for a motive, it doesn’t seem in all likelihood ruling is in his destiny. In truth, it’s miles viable that he will stay in his non violent lifestyles in Haiti and that the Wakanda Forever finishing can be Toussaint’s most effective look in the MCU.

Will M’Baku Finally Be King Of Wakanda?

Though Shuri took the mantle of Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s finishing explained that it might be M’Baku’s turn to sit down on the throne. M’Baku first seemed in Black Panther as a challenger to T’Challa taking the throne. However, this time, M’Baku does not need to project anyone. Not trying the throne for herself, Shuri would not display up to say it, allowing M’Baku to take it in her location together with her blessing. This isn’t always the first time in the MCU the responsibilities of the ruler of Wakanda and Black Panther had been break up as T’Challa became already serving as Black Panther when his father, King T’Chaka, became nevertheless alive and ruling. Though he started out as an antagonist, M’Baku has demonstrated himself a real best friend and supporter of T’Challa and his own family. Wakanda Forever proves how a good deal he has modified from his warrior ways. He even advises Shuri now not to are seeking for revenge on Namor and threat a in no way-ending war with Talokan, looking Wakanda to locate peace. M’Baku and Shuri have established how properly they work collectively with M’Baku serving as a mentor to her. These more level-headed features advise he is precisely the type of ruler Wakanda desires now.

Why Shuri Saw Killmonger On The Ancestral Plane & Not Her Mother

After rumors of his look, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending defined Killmonger’s return. After Shuri recreates the heart-shaped herb, she finds herself inside the Ancestral Plane, but rather than seeing her mom or brother, she unearths Killmonger expecting her. Feeding on the anger and hatred she has at the time in the wake of dropping her mom, Killmonger urges Shuri to kill Namor and have her revenge. He attempts to show her that he and Shuri are greater alike than she can admit, insisting she desires if you want to do what is important, as Killmonger did, instead of happening T’Challa’s “noble” course of mercy. Her confrontation with Killmonger sets war inside Shuri as she heads into her showdown with Namor on the end of Wakanda Forever. Experiencing so much loss, Shuri probable wanted to be comforted via her cherished ones who passed on. However, it’s far as though her unconscious summoned Killmonger due to the darkness that turned into overtaking her. With Killomnger within the Ancestral Plane, he remains as deviant as ever, perhaps explaining why he’s by myself inside the afterlife. His talk of revenge appears to sway Shuri for a second. In the quit, she pushes Killmonger’s words out of her thoughts and follows the course of her brother and mom.

How Riri Williams’ Wakanda Forever Origin Sets Up Ironheart

Riri Williams’ scene-stealing position introduces her into the MCU and the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending defined greater approximately her Ironheart collection. Riri aids Shuri and the Wakandans in their conflict towards Namor, the use of the Ironheart healthy Shuri helped her construct. With Riri by chance assisting the U.S. In looking for Vibranium, she turned into made a goal of Namor who sought to kill her. However, fighting along the Wakandans and getting her very own excessive-tech fit shows that Riri has the capability to be her personal terrific hero which leads into her Disney+ collection. Shuri has to take returned the Vibranium Ironheart fit from Riri on the cease of the movie. However, this is becoming for the hero’s humble beginnings wherein she needed to build her personal in shape in a storage using some thing elements she should get her arms on. Ironheart will go back her to that underdog excellent that works well for the young hero. Also, even as Wakanda Forever brought Riri inside the MCU, the film only hinted at her historical past meaning there is lots greater to discover with the person in her personal series.

What Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s Role Reveals About Her Thunderbolts Plans

While the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finishing defined most of the film’s mysteries, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s plan remains uncertain. Taking on the new function as head of the CIA, Val works along a reluctant Everett Ross to take Wakanda’s Vibranium. She continues to be a shady operative, taking up the position of a greater villainous Nick Fury. She even has Everett arrested for helping the Wakandans only for Okoye to break him unfastened ultimately. However, her universal look in Wakanda Forever could shed some light on her upcoming function in Thunderbolts. Thunderbolts will cognizance on an MCU group of anti-heroes, to date made up of Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Task Master, and Ghost, numerous of whom Val for my part recruited. While Val’s most important function inside the MCU up to now has been putting this group collectively, there are no obvious candidates in Wakanda Forever. While the likes of M’Baku and Namor could match the invoice of anti-heroes, neither might be interested by becoming a member of this sort of group outside their own respective countries. If Val isn’t always looking for new Thunderbolts members, her venture appears to tie to Vibranium and a potential weapon she hopes to use it for. It is in all likelihood this will be found out in Thunderbolts as her actual intentions grow to be clean.

Why Namor Actually Yielded To Shuri (& What It Means For Their Alliance)

The truce between Wakanda and Talokan in the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ending explained with the aid of Namor hints at his subsequent actions. During the very last war, Shuri is able to lure Namor faraway from his water electricity supply lengthy sufficient to defeat him. Though he found out Shuri’s Black Panther should have killed him, Namor didn’t ought to yield. However, deciding on to take the loss sees Namor gaining a powerful ally in Wakanda and suggests that he is sensible sufficient to peer the capability in that. His loss of life could have devastated Talokan and left them with out a pacesetter, however an alliance with Wakanda, a country that’s presently beneath global stress to share its Vibranium, could unknowingly make them squaddies in his conflict in opposition to the surface. Shuri promised to shield Namor’s oceans if he yielded, and that promise changed into exactly what Namor desired all along — an assurance that Wakanda would stand by means of his side. The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finishing defined that Wakanda and Namor could be allied in a capability conflict, one this is waged through others towards Wakanda. It’s only a be counted of time earlier than the U.S. And other countries try to find and steal Vibranium for their very own uses. There will simplest be a lot Wakanda can do earlier than things come to a breaking factor, especially if different international locations preserve looking to claim Wakandans are within the incorrect for now not sharing certain resources. While there may be no confirmation of Black Panther 3 happening inside the MCU just yet, it’s far possibly the sequel will focus on Shuri and M’Baku their new roles and contending with those outdoor forces as well as their uneasy alliance with Namor.

What happened to 'Wizard Clip'?

The threat in 'We Have a Ghost' comes from the CIA and its long-dead program called 'Wizard Clip'. 'Wizard Clip' was a division that used to specialize in the spectral phenomenon and to prove that this phenomenon is not a fantasy. The program was shut down 20 years ago due to the heavy opposition from the public for 'wasting' taxpayers' money. But after receiving strong evidence from Ernest, the ghost, the program is back on, with its equipment in use. There are talks about officially reopening the 'Wizard Clip'. But at the end of the movie, Ernest escapes, leaving nothing for the group to do. But as the evidence about Ernest is strong and was once captured by the Wizard Clip, it is possible that the CIA will continue to work on it. A final scene where Agent Schipley (Steve Coulter) investigates Kevin (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) regarding the whereabouts of the ghost is proof that the program will restart.

What happened to Dr Leslie Monroe?

Dr Leslie Monroe (Tig Notaro) is an expert in Parapsychology and is currently the author of Paige Turner Books' 'The Other Side'. During the late 90s, Dr Leslie is recruited by the CIA to spearhead the 'Wizard Clip'. However, she was thrown under the bus by Agent Schipley, when the Wizard Clip division suffered a huge backlash from the public. She is again recruited by Agent Schipley, and Dr Leslie uses her old equipment and captures Ernest. She considers the ghost to be a threat, despite the Ernest's calming behavior. She uses her entire force to locate the ghost and successfully apprehend him. However, she changes her mind after learning of Schipley's evil intentions with the ghost, and Leslie frees Ernest. This would cause Dr Leslie to lose her job and even get arrested. In a way, she sort of halts the program again when she frees the ghost. Either way, Dr Leslie has some rough roads ahead of her.

Is Ernest still around?

The heartfelt climax of the movie sees Ernest the Ghost (real name Randy McGovern) reuniting with his daughter June and recalling all his happiest memories with her. After a while, he is seen sitting on the sand beside a lake with Kevin, with whom Randy throws pebbles. Randy feels complete now that he got the closure he needed and starts to disappear into the air. Kevin sees him vanish completely. After a while, Kevin, and his family move to a new house, and after completing the sweep of the attic, Kevin asks Joy (Isabella Russo), if Randy is still around, to which Joy replies she doesn't know but maybe. We see both Kevin and Joy leaving the attic and switching off lights before they leave the attic. Then, a shot shows a flickering light in the attic, hinting at the possible presence of Randy.

Netflix’s We Have a Ghost (2023) Ending Explained

We talk about, and give away, the plot of the Netflix movie We Have a Ghost from 2023.

We Have a Ghost follows the Presley family, who have recently relocated to the area. Frank and Melanie have discovered a cheap but in need of repair house. Both of their two children are boys. Fulton, their oldest child, is getting ready to go college in the autumn. Kevin, their youngest child, moves to a distinct rhythm. He prefers Terry Kath because Jimmy Hendrix said Terry Kath was his influence, and he is clever and compassionate. Kevin is finding it challenging to adapt. That is, until he encounters Ernest, a ghost that resides in their attic. Kevin records Ernest’s attempt to scare him on his phone because he finds it hilarious. Ernest is mute, but Kevin makes friends with him. When Fulton posts the video to YouTube, everything is different because Ernest suddenly becomes popular online.

Frank permits Judy Romano, who has her own show and is looking for ghosts, to conduct an interview in his home in order to capitalise on the family’s sudden money. Due to the poor quality of the food , Judy no longer reads in nursing homes, although she would adore reading Kris Jenner. Kevin responds that Ernest is not his father’s lap dog when Frank asks him to get Ernest ready for work. When Ernest does show up on camera for the crew, Kevin makes him step up his ghost act by gradually getting scarier.

He first approaches a cameraman gently. Ernest subsequently becomes more agitated and terrified of Romano’s gang. He finally completes the turn of his head, at which point he starts to move towards the star in the manner of Regan from The Exorcist . Judy initially believes it to be a fake and advises them to correct the post’s errors. But then Ernest sticks a skinless arm out of his mouth and snatches her by the throat. Afterwards, like in Raiders of the Lost Ark, he melts his own face. (Ernest seems to be a huge movie fan). Judy jumps headfirst through a window as she runs for her life.

We Have a Ghost Ending Explained What is Ernest’s real name?

Kevin and Joy discover that Ernest’s real name is Randy while conducting their study. Dr. Leslie Monroe, a former discredited federal agent who is again an active government agent, pursues Kevin, his new acquaintance Joy, and Ernest as they flee. She is attempting to capture Ernest so that she can research him for paranormal psychology. They are looking into what happened to Ernest while they are evading capture because that might not be his real name! They go to the residence owned by Ernest Scheller. Who is Ernest, then? Randy McGovern, who was Ernest’s brother-in-law, is the name of their ghost. He claims that Ernest lost his wife during childbirth and was unable to cope. His four-year-old daughter June (also known as Junebug) was left with them as a result, and they never heard from him again. She was brought up by them alone.

Why did Ernest kill Randy?

Because they desired Randy’s child, June, Ernest killed him. It appears Monroe doesn’t have Randy’s best interests at heart after she arrives with thermal weapons that capture and subdue him; her employer informs Monroe they can do whatever they want for him. Afterwards, Randy recalls what transpired. Ernest killed him in order to take his child! He is given permission to go by Monroe, and he travels to Kevin’s home. There, with a revolver in hand, the real Ernest is accusing Kevin of knowing more than he does. It turns out that Ernest murdered Randy in order to prevent him and his wife from having children of their own.

Who saved Kevin from Ernest?

At the conclusion of the movie, Kevin was saved not only by Randy but also by his father, Frank. Kevin is chased into the attic by Ernest as he attacks the family. As Randy shows there, he stops him by seizing his wrist as he prepares to strike Kevin with a crowbar blow. He pushes Ernest against a plate glass window and against the wall. Ernest gets struck by Randy, who then knocks him out. After turning around, he grinned at Kevin. Then Frank rushes into the space. He pauses, then charges at Randy with a hateful expression on his face. Frank notices Ernest standing up with the gun, prepared to shoot Kevin, while Kevin believes he is attacking his friend. Ernest is pushed by Frank out the window, where he dies.

Is Randy reunited with June?

Frank and Kevin assist Randy in finding June as the movie comes to a close. They take her to Randy, who is on the sand. She approaches him and silently touches his face with her hand. She now has vivid flashbacks of her early days with Randy. They embrace as soon as he opens his eyes. Later, when Randy and Kevin are conversing on the sand, Randy starts to vanish and transform into enchanted orange dust. Kevin bids adieu.

The family is seen departing the house in the last moments. Kevin looks back as he exits the attic and switches off the lights. A second later, one light flickers an orange light, indicating Randy may still be able to see them.

We Have A Ghost (2023) Movie: Ending, Explained

We Have A Ghost (2023) Movie Ending, Explained : You need to know what you’re getting tangled up in before you decide to give the tongue-tied David Harbour-starrer horror comedy a fair shot. Saying that it’s a film that Scorcese could make a sullen tweet about would be a good way to gear you up for Netflix’s We Have A Ghost. Perpetually dad-like Harbour’s Ernest may as well have been a Marvel-bound friendly ghost haunting the franchise with adorable mischiefs.

That being said, this is in no way a bad thing about Christopher Landon’s supernatural comedy. What ‘We Have A Ghost’ lacks in terms of fully developed characters, disinterest in a truckload of unironic narrative cliches, and originality, it makes up for with heart. Having earnest lovability (grant me this pun) on its side as its saving grace and, frankly, its only redeeming quality, Landon’s film strong-arms an avalanche of endearing tropes to manipulate you into rooting for the good guys–in a good way.

We Have A Ghost (2023) Plot Summary and Movie Synopsis

It isn’t just their ideas of who may be the most influential guitar god ever to have existed that 16-year-old Kevin and his father, Frank Presley, doesn’t see eye-to-eye about. In point of fact, Kevin hasn’t been feeling all that close to his father, who in better days used to be his best friend. Frank has lost track of himself in his tedious and often futile passage of tracking easy money. There has even been a pyramid-scheme wreckage of their finances which had Frank’s customers running to the toilet instead of getting the desired effect of the male enhancement pills.

With big bro, Fulton too detached and lost in his teenage tomfooleries and mom Melanie being too offhanded even though she means well, Kevin is a lonely teen in a hostile world. So it comes as no surprise that he isn’t too excited to move into the suspiciously low-on-the-listing, scroungy house in Illinois. And what better way to get an angsty teen to take to an unsolicited move than to give him a cute neighbor? The deal is even sweeter when Joy is a bit of a rebel herself and roars the trumpet in her yelling father’s face.

Enter Ernest

To abide by the haunted house’s housewarming tradition, the ghost in the attic of Kevin’s new home shows his face to the lanky kid. Sadly for the apparition, he doesn’t particularly have the signature ghostly menace in his growls. But even then, Kevin could be a little nicer than laughing straight in his face while recording his amusing moans and groans on his cell phone. As it turns out, when Kevin goes back to the attic to serenade him into showing up, the ghost doesn’t hold a grudge. Looking at the enormous apparition with kind eyes and a pretty discernible bald patch, Kevin wonders what his name could be.

That is before the kid lays eyes on his monogrammed bowling shirt that reads “Ernest.” What a sweet name for a ghost with a glum face who roams the netherworld without the ability to talk or any memory pertaining to his life or death whatsoever. But he’s capable of love. At least, that’s what it looks like when he shoves Fulton across the room when he was picking on his little brother. Kevin can’t keep Ernest a secret from his family despite really wanting to. However, it is pretty peculiar how Frank’s first instinct upon finding the video is to post it online.

What Does Kevin Find Out About Ernest?

The first video of Ernest’s laughable boos receives a fair amount of flack from non-believers online. But with the next one starring a screaming Melanie and Ernest crashing and dispersing into the wall, the Presley house is now officially viral. Floods of tweets and reels celebrate Ernest, and some even go as far as to take part in an Ernest challenge where they violently crash into the wall and fail to go through it due to their material state of being. But that weirdness is nothing compared to those who have developed a crush on the unearthly being. Frank, being the money-driven man he is, has already recognized the raw potential he can exploit.

Because of his father and brother’s self-serving intentions with Ernest, Kevin decides to look him up online to find out who he was and how he died. Kevin’s search was going nowhere, and that is when Joy swoops in with her clickety clicks and finds out that a man named Ernest did, in fact, own the house at some point. Joy momentarily loses interest in the Ernest ordeal when their probing seems to hit a dead-end. But she soon ambushes Kevin in the boy’s restroom to show him the ID of Ernest Scheller. But there’s a catch. The man in the picture isn’t the ghost that has made Kevin’s attic his home. Kevin and Joy need to track down the real Ernest to get to the bottom of his origin.

How Do The Kids Find Out The Ghost’s Origin?

Hoards of Ernesters have congregated around the Presley house to catch a glimpse of the friendly ghost. Melanie may be increasingly irritated by the ceaseless attention the house is getting, but Frank is over the moon counting the cash. When Ernest catches television’s attention, celebrity medium Judy Romano brings over her crew to the house for an episode on her show.

Judy isn’t buying into the real-life ghost phenomenon and can’t wait for Frank to do his bit and summon the fake ghost. That isn’t something the recently trained Ernest takes too kindly. In an Exorcist meets The Conjuring style of wreckage, Ernest scares the bejesus out of each of Judy’s crew before frightening the smug celebrity bad enough to make her take a plunge from the window. That results in attention from a super secret paranormal wing of the CIA. Yes, you heard that right. CIA’s overzealous agent Dr. Leslie Monroe shows up at the haunted house to warn them against the supernatural terrorist.

Meanwhile, Joy and Kevin are paying a visit to the bar that the real Ernest Scheller used to own. The bar’s current owner reluctantly cedes Ernest’s address to the kids. Kevin has been of the notion that facing triggers might make his ghostly friend’s memories resurface. Out in a park goofing around, the apparition’s sad eyes fixate on a little girl on a ride, and glimmery flashes of his own daughter arise before him. Lost in the flood of memories coming to the surface, he reaches out to touch the girl who, unbeknownst to him, screams bloody murder and sends the crowd into mayhem.

The formerly friendly image of the ghost being shattered allows the CIA to get the permits to break into the house and capture him. Flocks of SWAT officials laser up the house and hold the family captive as Joy and Kevin are en route to Ernest’s house. Surprising them with a congenial welcome, Ernest opens the door to his home. With his immobilized wife by his side, Ernest is made to look back to a past he would rather not remember. What Kevin learns of his sweet preternatural friend is hard for him to make peace with. The ghost that resides in his home is Ernest’s brother-in-law Randy.

When Ernest’s wife’s sister had an untimely demise, Randy sought peace in the bottles of booze and left his daughter behind before disappearing. Randy’s spirit enters Ernest’s home by knocking a bronze bird on the floor. Before heartbroken Kevin can get a grip on himself, the CIA, accompanied by Dr. Monroe, blasts through the door and captures Randy. As a team of doctors gears up to experiment on Randy, morose Kevin retreats into his own thoughts that blame him for being unable to save his friend.

Seeing his kid in a devastated state, Frank has had a look inwards to acknowledge all that he did wrong. Frank isn’t the only one who’s rethinking his choices. Spending an entire lifetime studying the nooks and crannies of all things supernatural, Dr. Monroe had convinced herself that a ghost could not be benevolent. Being in close quarters with Randy allows her to see how sensitive and generous a spirit can be. It breaks her heart to see him being poked and prodded by people who believe it is acceptable to torment a ghost. She takes it upon herself to stop the evil scientists and set him free.

We Have A Ghost (2023) Ending Explained

How did randy die.

There’s an unexpected intruder in the exorcized Presley house. Ernest has been lurking around, waiting for everyone to fall asleep so he can break in and finish what he started. With a surprising amount of vigor, the old man chases the family around with a gun and practically confesses to the crime that he expected them to know of already. What he had originally said to Kevin about Randy’s past was only partly true. Randy was evidently in great pain when his wife passed, but he didn’t leave his daughter behind. When Kevin was at Ernest’s home, he told her that neither he nor his wife ever wished for a child.

When in truth, being unable to conceive a child was too much for them to bear. They had snatched Randy’s daughter from him and decided to raise her as their own. To ascertain that Randy couldn’t take the child away from them, Ernest killed him and buried the body in the ground. If the film weren’t already crawling with irrational bits, I would be more peeved at how an old man can take on Frank, Fulton, and Kevin. Just as Ernest is about to shoot Kevin, Randy emerges as a superhero and saves his friend. However, it is Frank who happens to throw the murderer straight through the gorgeous stained glass window that has seen better days.

Did Randy Cross Over To Nothingness?

Kevin isn’t necessarily lying when the CIA questions him about Randy. We’ve all been expecting that Randy will be free from his purgatory once he finds closure. Frank and Kevin have brought him to a scenic threshold of a flowing river to give him all that he has been longing for. They’ve found his daughter June and have granted the lost father and daughter a last chance to be in each other’s loving presence. A daughter touches her dead father, evading the bounds of the two worlds. We’ve seen Randy smile before. But his face is of the sweetest sense of peace as he sees his daughter, someone he didn’t think he would ever see again.

The hardest goodbye he has to say, however, is to Kevin. He has come to love the boy who didn’t mind risking his life for him. Randy has been an irreplaceable source of warmth like no other to Kevin. The two share one last bittersweet hug as Randy slowly dematerializes into the air. The Presley family has decided to sell the house. And yet Kevin can’t help but wonder if Randy can still see him. As they leave the attic, the light flickers. Randy may not be as far gone as they would think. Or perhaps, another spirit has taken his place. Either way, this doesn’t seem to be the end of the road for Kevin and Randy.

Meaning of the movie “We Have a Ghost” and ending explained

“We Have a Ghost” is, released in 2023, a feature film from Netflix that revisits the theme of people interacting with ghosts who linger in the world of the living to tell their story and get justice. The picture cannot be categorized as a horror film. This is more of an adventure detective with hints of fantasy and comedy, which is fun to watch with the whole family.

After the previous owners hastily abandoned their home for unexplained reasons, the new owners move into the house. Of course, they were a little embarrassed by the nervous behavior of the realtor, who couldn’t give a clear answer as to why the place was so cluttered and why the price was suddenly so low. Nevertheless, Frank and Melanie Presley, along with their two sons, begin to take apart the boxes and familiarize themselves with their place.

Things are not so smooth in the Presley family. The head of the family is constantly looking for new horizons that will finally make him successful and rich. His wife supports him, but it can be seen that she is already tired of constant moves and regular undertakings of her spouse. Elder son Fulton thinks of nothing but girls. And the younger Kevin prefers to be silent, sitting on the phone or alone playing the guitar in his room.

To hide from all the outside noise, Kevin starts spending time in the attic. But it turns out that he is not the only inhabitant there. And one day he nose-to-nose meets there the ghost of a man in a bowling shirt named Ernest. The ghost does everything to scare the kid – waving his hands, grimacing, shouting menacingly, but he nonchalantly films everything that is happening on his smartphone camera.

He gets valuable information from his roommate Joy about how everyone thinks the house is cursed. After surfing the net and learning more about paranormal phenomena, Kevin once again goes to the attic to talk to Ernest. This time the ghost is more friendly. He understands what he is being told, only he cannot say anything back. He also has absolutely no memory of who he is and does not understand how he ended up in this house.

But then something happens that no one could have expected. The older brother finds a ghost video on Kevin’s phone and shows it to his father, who immediately decides to post the scoop on his channel. By shooting a few more clips and posting them, the family acquires fame, and Ernest becomes a real star with an army of fans.

And only Kevin and his girlfriend want to find out what happened to Ernest in the past. They get information that in fact Ernest was the name of the former owner of this house. And most importantly, that this man is still alive. When they meet him, they learn the sad story that the ghost is most likely his wife’s brother Randy. The old man assumes that the man committed suicide when his wife died, leaving their infant daughter to them to raise.

But it’s not just ordinary YouTube viewers who are interested in the ghost. For him began to conduct a real hunt employees of the special department of the CIA. They do everything possible to get this ghost for their experiments and experiments. And in the end they manage to catch Ernest and isolate him in their laboratory. It would seem that his fate is sealed. But she of the employee, who sincerely believes in ghosts and does not want to be mocked, lets him go free.

The finale of the story turned out to be completely unpredictable. At night his former master, the man that Kevin went to see, sneaks into Presley’s house to find out something about Ernest’s ghost. And his aim is to kill the boy and his whole family, so that nobody would know about the real events that took place many years ago. Before he takes out the frightened people, the real Ernest tells them that he killed Randy. He and his wife could not have children, so they decided to take custody of their niece in this way, getting rid of her father in the most horrible way possible.

A fight ensues, and at the very last moment Randy’s ghost appears and throws his killer out the window. After the incident, he disappears, leaving Kevin and his family in a state of shock.

Randy seems to be gone forever, but he is not. He is standing near a body of water in a very scenic spot. When he turns around, he sees a nice-looking adult woman walking toward him. She comes closer and closer, and tears begin to glisten in her eyes. She strokes Randy’s cheek, and he realizes that she is his daughter. The brightest memories from her childhood flicker in his mind. Her joyful laughter sounds distinctly in his mind. Perhaps this is the moment he has been waiting for his entire existence as a ghost. His daughter realizes how much he loved her, and that he would never have left her if not for the villain who took his life. And now he can finally leave the earth in peace. Randy’s ghost slowly dissolves.

And the Presley family decides not to linger in this creepy house. They move out, putting it up for sale. Kevin wanders around the attic, remembering the first time he saw a ghost. And when he closes the door, a light flashes. What does it mean? Is it Randy back? Or is there some new ghostly inhabitant.

Meaning of the movie “Jeanne du Barry” and ending explained

'A Ghost Story' Ending Explained By Director David Lowery

This past weekend, A Ghost Story joined the specialty box office line-up by hitting theaters in New York in Los Angeles before the Sundance selected drama from Ain't Them Bodies Saints and Pete's Dragon director David Lowery expands in the coming weeks. Having caught the film at Sundance, I can say you haven't seen a movie quite like this before. However, the title might be a little misleading for those expecting a ghost story that's more horror than thoughtful drama. Furthermore, the ending may leave many perplexed as the scope of the narrative expands and becomes something bigger than you'd expect.

Thankfully, director David Lowery was asked about the ending to A Ghost Story , and he was happy to provide a little more explanation for those who might be confused when the credits start to roll. If you haven't see A Ghost Story yet, don't read any further because there are spoilers abound, and you really should wait for clarification until after you've seen it for yourself, even if that doesn't happen until it's available on home video.

A Ghost Story Ending Explained

Nearly the entire film follows Casey Affleck under a sheet as the ghost himself, having died in a car crash just outside of his house. After waking up as a ghost in the hospital and returning to his home, he stays behind long after his wife ( Rooney Mara ) has left the house, witnessing other families and people moving in and out over the years. He sticks around so long that the house is even torn down and eventually turned into a high-rise building sometime in the future. Eventually, he's had it with sticking around this place for so long, so he jumps off the building, seemingly killing himself again.

Instead, the ghost finds himself far in the past, when the early settlers were first establishing themselves in the area, living on the land that would eventually become a suburb. He remains there until he finds himself back in the house that he and his wife called home. Eventually, he ends up in the house at the same time that the earlier ghost version of himself was in there. This isn't the end of the film just yet, but David Lowery explains to The Hollywood Reporter exactly what this scene means:

"One version is the naïve ghost that still hasn't figured out what he needs to be doing, and the other that's sitting at the piano is the version that's achieved some sort of clarity."

This advancement of the story actually came about organically on set. Lowery explains, "That was a spontaneous day on set that ended up being a very definitive and profound visual, and we could have kept it going!" By that he means the story could continue and eventually the ghost could loop back to himself over and over again. But in this case, this moment served as a good bookend to end the story, as Lowery adds, "When we saw it on camera that day, we thought it really brought the movie home in a significant fashion."

Following this scene, the ghost eventually relives the moment when his wife leaves the house, giving him a chance to retrieve a little note that Rooney Mara's character leaves in the crack of a wood door frame that he couldn't get ahold of for a large chunk of the time he previously spent in the house. When he finally gets the note and reads it to himself, he disappears, freeing himself from the time loop.

What Does the Piece of Paper Say?

The famous piece of paper that captivates Casey Affleck's ghost is destined to be a piece of cinema akin to the whisper from Bill Murray to Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation . What's written on the paper isn't shown to the audience, so it's left a mystery. Lowery believes that it's not as important as the fact that he finally got to read it:

"We thought about whether or not we should show it, but it doesn't matter as much as just knowing that he got it. Nothing written there would mean anything to the audience at that point, and it would just complicate that moment — you'd see something, process it, and then wonder what it means."

But that doesn't mean the paper was blank. On set that day, Lowery explains that the script didn't dictate what was written on the paper, mostly because he didn't even know what it should say, so he asked Rooney Mara to write something that "felt personal and meaningful to her, the movie and her character."

What she wrote on that paper remained in the house up until it was actually demolished for the movie, and no one got to read it before then. For Mara's part, she says she doesn't remember what it says, and even if she did, she likely wouldn't say. Not even Casey Affleck knows because the piece of paper used for when he retrieves it was a completely different piece.

Honestly, what's most compelling about A Ghost Story is everything surrounding this little MacGuffin. In the end, it's everything surrounding the note that becomes more important than what the note actually says. We're just glad that the piece of paper didn't say "The End," as if it were a college student film.

Here's How and Why the House of Usher, Uhh, Fell in 'The Fall of the House of Usher' Finale

Quoth the Raven....

The series blends together about a dozen short stories and poems by Edgar Allen Poe into a Succession -y story about pharmaceuticals and a doomed family dynasty. Over the course of the series, patriarch Roderick Usher's six children Camille, Frederick, Napoleon, Tamerlane, Victorine, and Prospero die one by one, episode by episode. Why did that happen? Will it ever end? Let's get into it.

Warning: There are clearly finale spoilers for 'The Fall of the House of Usher' ahead, so read at your own risk!

Annabel Lee's ghost attends her children's funeral

At the beginning of the episode, Roderick confesses to Dupin that his two children from his first marriage, Tamerlane and Frederick, chose him over their mother in the divorce because he offered them so much money they couldn't refuse. They lost their mother's spirit in that choice, he said. Only his granddaughter Lenore kept that alive. At Tamerlane, Freddie, and Victorine's funeral Roderick sees Annabel Lee's ghost. There's a bullet hole in her head, implying that she died by suicide.

We learned how Roderick and Madeline got Fortunado

In 1979 on New Year's Eve, the siblings conspired to kill the company's slimy CEO Rufus Griswold. It's not just the drugs they sold that killed people. They are literal murderers. They offered Rufus a drink spiked with cyanide, lured him to the soundproof basement, and buried him alive in the wall. This is based on the Poe tale "The Cask of Amontillado," a grim story and personal favorite of mine. Madeline laid the final brick, on which she wrote the words "you are so small"–something Annabel Lee had said to her previously. At the time Rufus wore a jester's costume, which haunts Roderick in the present.

the fall of the house of usher bruce greenwood as roderick usher in episode 106 of the fall of the house of usher cr eike schroternetflix

But why is the Usher family cursed?

To get away with murder, the siblings needed an alibi. So they went to a bar a bit off the beaten track. It was there they met Verna, the mysterious woman who would later kill the members of the House of Usher. She offered them a life free of want and failure with one catch: Roderick's bloodline must pay the price. She said that when it's time for Roderick and Madeline to die, and they will leave the Earth together and all of their children and their children's children will die too.

It's an interesting debate; Would you want your children to live a long life full of struggle or a shorter life of ease? Of course, the Usher siblings were not made aware that said children would not just pass away but die horrible, painful, humiliating deaths.

Is Verna still out there making deals?

The family's "fixer," Arthur Pym, attempts to murder Verna and make her disappear. That doesn't work, obviously, but Verna is impressed. She offers him a deal similar to the one she offered Madeline and Roderick back in the day. He doesn't take it. He doesn't have any collateral, he says. At the end of the episode, he is arrested and doesn't even try to defend himself.

Is the curse over, then?

Verna has one last member of the Usher family to kill before the debt is settled: Roderick's good-hearted, independent granddaughter Lenore. To her credit, she isn't exactly thrilled about this. Before killing Lenore, Verna assures the girl that her mother will go on to save millions of lives with the family's money. It's because she stood up to the family and Arthur that this happens. It's about as happy an ending as a story about a family curse can have. Juno, Roderick's second wife, also gets clean and put money into rehab programs and research.

If Lenore is dead, who has been texting Roderick?

Remember Madeline's Sentient AI project that makes a digital copy from social media accounts? That's who has been texting... a digital ghost of Lenore, essentially. FWIW, I don't think I'd want my social media to be the blueprint for my immortal AI. Most of us don't talk in memes IRL, ya know?

So Roderick and Madeline's have to die, right?

Right. And die they do. After Lenore dies, Verna shows Roderick a vision. As he looks out over the side of his glass tower, he sees the bodies of the people his drugs have killed tumbling down like raindrops. Verna then tells him to go to the house and summon both Dupin and his sister.

Madeline arrives first. Roderick poisons her and prepares her body for death like an Egyptian queen. Then, presumably, Dupin arrives and the conversation we've been following for the series takes place. As this talk with Dupin draws to an end, and Roderick admits he knew his corporation was going to take a lot of lives, Madeline's near-dead (or undead????) body rises and strangles him to death. Dupin escapes as the house comes crumbling down.

And about that raven....

Verna is the raven. (In fact, "verna" and "raven" are anagrams of each other. Did you catch that?) She's a harbinger of death. She alludes to having Donald Trump as a client.

Given how every plotline wraps, there's really no reason for this show to get a season 2. The story of the House of Usher could not be more complete. But I wouldn't say no to more stories about this lady and the lives she ruins....

Leah Marilla Thomas is an entertainment writer, UNC alum, and former Hasbro Toy Tester (yes, that's a real thing) who loves The Good Place and Love Island equally. In her alleged spare time, she's probably either at the theater, in a park, or watching basketball.

Spider-Man 2 Ending Explained: How Insomniac Sets Up the Next Sequel

How the latest spider-man game sets up more sequels from insomniac..

Warning: this article contains full spoilers for Marvel's Spider-Man 2!

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has landed on the PS5, and it gives superhero fans another wild romp through a digital New York City. The game is stuffed to the brim with iconic Marvel heroes and villains, as well as plenty of deep-cut references to the Spider-man comics. Some of those references even provide some clues about Insomniac’s inevitable next Spider-Man game.

Let’s break down the ending to Spider-Man 2, along with the side quests that set the stage for more Spidey content down the road. From the return of Doctor Octopus to the emergence of Spidey’s greatest nemesis, this is what to expect from a Spider-Man sequel.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Screenshot Gallery

Peter Parker Retires

Over the course of several games, Insomniac has established a universe wherein Peter Parker and Miles Morales share the mantle of Spider-Man. Peter is the veteran hero, having been on the job for roughly seven years by the start of the original Marvel’s Spider-Man. Miles is the rookie, gaining his spider powers in the original and coming into his own in the 2020 spinoff Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Both characters share the spotlight in Spider-Man 2, allowing gamers to quickly switch between Peter and Miles on the fly.

In this way, the Insomniac series is more akin to Marvel’s current Spider-Man comics than it is the Spider-Verse animated movies. In the movies, Miles exists in a universe where his Peter Parker died and he’s taken over the mantle of Spidey. The Ultimate Spider-Man comics used to feature a similar arrangement, but Miles has since made the jump to the core Marvel Universe and now fights alongside the classic Peter Parker in his new home.

However, the ending of Spider-Man 2 suggests that things may be changing in the Insomniac universe. Peter ends the game by hanging up his tights and ceding the Spider-Man mantle to Miles. Peter is retiring in order to focus his energy on getting his charitable organization The Emily-May Foundation up and running. It’s a big step for Peter, who’s finally learning that there are ways he can help the world and live up to his great responsibility other than being a costumed vigilante.

This is an equally big step for Miles, who has gone from being the younger, secondary hero to being New York’s one and only Spider-Man. We assume this ending is setting the stage for a direct sequel to Spider-Man: Miles Morales, with Peter’s retirement providing the justification for why Miles is the only hero in the spotlight. As for the inevitable Spider-Man 3, surely some new disaster will compel Peter to come out of retirement and suit up once again. This game provides plenty of clues as to what that disaster might involve.

Green Goblin in the Insomniac Universe

The Insomniac Spider-Man universe is unusual in that it has no version of the Green Goblin, arguably Spidey’s greatest and most iconic nemesis. Norman Osborn has certainly played a major role in these games, but he has yet to become Green Goblin. Norman is instead portrayed in a more sympathetic light as the mayor of New York City and a father struggling to come to grips with the death of his wife and his son’s terminal disease.

As for Harry, we have yet to see the younger Osborn become Green Goblin, either. Spider-Man 2 instead has Harry bond with the Venom symbiote, similar to what happened in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. Only at the very end of Spider-Man 2 do we get any hint about the impending debut of Green Goblin.

As the game wraps up, Harry is in worse condition than ever, and a desperate Norman orders his technician to break out the “G-Serum.” This substance is surely the Insomniac universe version of the Oz formula - a chemical compound that makes the user incredibly strong but also warps their mind. With the G-Serum now in play, it seems more than likely that we’ll finally meet the Green Goblin in Spider-Man 3.

The question, of course, is which Osborn will become Green Goblin. Both Norman and Harry tend to become Green Goblin in most incarnations of the Spider-Man franchise, including the comics and the Sam Raimi movie trilogy. Either character could wind up as Green Goblin in the sequel. Maybe Norman injects his son with the G-Serum, inadvertently transforming Harry into a monster even worse than Venom. Or perhaps Norman tests the scrum on himself first, causing all his pent-up rage and frustration to take physical form.

Either way, it definitely appears as though Insomniac has saved Green Goblin in order to make him the main villain of Spider-Man 3. Though based on the way Spider-Man 2 ends, Gobby may have to share the spotlight with a familiar face.

Doctor Octopus’ Final Chapter

The mid-credits scene in Spider-Man 2 features a surprising and very welcome cameo appearance by Otto Octavius, who’s now imprisoned in the Raft following his defeat in the first Spider-Man game. Norman approaches his old colleague in the hope that Otto will reveal the identities of the two Spider-Men. Otto refuses, happy to see his nemesis wallowing in misery.

In this scene we see Otto writing in a journal. We never learn exactly what Otto is writing, but it seems to involve his grand plan for revenge against Spider-Man. He refers to it as “the final chapter.”

What exactly is “the final chapter?” Looking at the comics, there are two different Spider-man storylines that share that title. The first is 1965’s The Amazing Spider-Man #33. That issue features one of the most iconic Spidey moments ever, as Peter is trapped beneath tons of rubble and has to summon all his strength and courage to break free.

The other storyline is Spider-Man: The Final Chapter, a 1998 crossover where Spidey clashes with the Green Goblin. Here, Osborn initiates a ritual known as the Gathering of Five that he believes will grant him incredible power. This is also the storyline where Aunt May, who was believed to have died back in 1994’s The Amazing Spider-Man #400, is revealed to be alive and well.

Neither of these storylines involve Doctor Octopus, and neither seem to offer many clues as to what Otto’s master plan involves. This may be a case where Insomniac is invoking the name of something with deep significance to the Spider-Man franchise while going in its own direction. Still, as Doctor Octopus returns to threaten the city once again, we may see a scene inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man #33, where Peter has to dig deep and find new reserves of strength. And it’s always possible that Spider-Man 3 could undo Aunt May’s death, just like the comics.

Another possibility is that Insomniac is teasing an adaptation of The Superior Spider-Man. In that controversial series, a dying Doctor Octopus implants his mind in the body of Spider-Man and takes over Peter’s life, eager to prove himself the better hero. Given how much the Insomniac series already draws on the work of Superior Spider-Man writers Dan Slott and Christos Gage, we could very easily see Spider-Man 3 becoming a game where Miles is forced to battle a corrupted Peter Parker for the fate of the city.

Let There Be Carnage

One of the side quests in Spider-Man 2 pits our heroes against a deranged terrorist known as The Flame. That quest line ends with Peter and The Wraith battling it out with The Flame’s goons and failing to stop the villain from executing his true plan - derailing an Oscorp train carrying a sample of the Venom symbiote.

It’s here that we learn The Flame’s true identity and motivation. He’s Cletus Kasady, and he wants to use the symbiote to wreak havoc and destruction on a whole new level. We’ve just witnessed the origin story of Carnage, a symbiote villain even stronger and more bloodthirsty than Venom.

This is a bit of a diversion from Carnage’s traditional origin story. Most versions of the Spidey mythos depict Cletus as a cellmate of Venom’s host Eddie Brock, who bonds with an offshoot of the symbiote. But with Spider-Man 2 changing a great deal about Venom’s back story, it makes sense to rework Carnage, too.

Insomniac is clearly setting up some future Spider-Man content with this reveal. We just don’t know if Carnage will be the star of a DLC campaign or if he’s meant to be a villain in a future Spider-Man sequel. Stay tuned to IGN for a deeper dive into The Flame and what it means for Carnage's inclusion in future Spider-man content.

The Chameleon Comes Out of Hiding

Another side quest in the game winds up leading Spider-Man to the penthouse apartment of Dmitri Smerdyakov, better known as the shape-shifting villain Chameleon. Thanks to a series of pre-recorded messages, Spidey learns about the troubled history between Chameleon and his half-brother, Kraven. He then escapes a death trap meant for Kraven himself.

The quest ends with a disguised Chameleon watching Spidey swing away and vowing to do what his brother couldn’t - kill Spider-Man.

It seems pretty safe to assume we’ll see Spidey and Chameleon clash in some upcoming Spider-Man content. We’d guess Chameleon will be the focus of a DLC campaign for Spider-Man 2, as he isn’t necessarily a villain who can support his own game.

The Spider-Verse Cameos

The Insomniac universe already has two Spider-Mans, but there could be more in the near future. Spider-Man 2 features a pair of cameos that hint at the series drawing in more Spider-Verse favorites.

First, there’s the Spider-Bot quest line, which ends with a befuddled Spidey being confronted by a futuristic bartender named Delilah. Delilah gathers up the rogue Spider-Bots and tells Spidey, “If Miguel comes looking for these, tell him finders-keepers.”

The Miguel in question is Miguel O’Hara, better known as the futuristic hero Spider-Man 2099. We’re not sure if Delilah is based on an existing Marvel character, but her name and weirdly polygonal body shape both suggest she could be connected to Lyla, Miguel’s holographic AI assistant. In any case, could the next Spider-Man game involve time travel?

Second, the game features a post-credits scene where Miles and his mother host a dinner for Albert and his daughter. His daughter turns out to be Cindy, who in the comics becomes the heroine Silk.

This is a tease that could pay off in a potential Spider-Man: Miles Morales 2. We may see Cindy Moon gain spider powers of her own and learn the ropes of the superhero game from Miles. Maybe Spider-Man 3 will allow gamers to play as three different Spider-People? The more the merrier.

That’s everything you need to know about the ending to Spider-Man 2. What are you most excited for in the next game? Let us know in the comments.

We wrote in our Spider-Man 2 review : "As a sequel in a spectacular series, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is both blessed and cursed... Insomniac refines a successful formula of combat and web-swinging without revolutionising either in major ways, making them comfy and familiar with just enough new tweaks and abilities to elevate them to fun new heights. The part that feels like it actually needed a radical rethinking is the open world of New York City, which has been made bigger but not better, with an exhausting checklist of mostly repetitious side activities."

Spider-Man 2 launches on PS5 on October 20. In the meantime, check out our Spider-Man 2 PS5 performance review as well as our review discussion on Podcast Beyond .

The Five Nights at Freddy’s Timeline Explained, From the Novels to the Games

Get ready for the silver screen scares with this guide to everything Five Nights at Freddy’s.

The Big Picture

The Five Nights at Freddy's series has a complex timeline with nine games and 23 books released since 2014, making it a challenge to follow the story in chronological order.
The games and books can be consumed either in release order or chronological order, depending on personal preference and desire to theorize and speculate.
The plot really starts with Five Nights at Freddy's 4 , which takes place in 1983 and depicts the earliest point in the timeline, and ends (so far) with Tales from the Pizzaplex #8 , set in the megaplex from the latest game, Security Breach.

Finally, the release of the Five Nights at Freddy’s film (in theaters and on Peacock October 27 ) is upon us! Some fans are preparing to be terrified by murderous animatronics and excited to see one of their favorite franchises on the big screen . Then there are a lot of people unfamiliar with the series who are interested as well, especially since the movie stars Josh Hutcherson of The Hunger Games fame, and is coming out just in time for Halloween. With this huge milestone happening for the series, is there a better time to look at the franchise’s timeline?

With nine (official) games and 23 books released since 2014, Five Nights at Freddy’s has a timeline that is anything but straightforward. Some may be content to play the games and read the books in release order; this is totally understandable because it’s the path that allows you the most opportunity to theorize and speculate. Others, though, may want to play and read in chronological order to see the story unfold from start to finish. No matter which order you want, you’re in luck! Both will be covered here.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Games and Books in Release Order

Five Nights at Freddy’s Games and Books in Chronological Order

Alright, so you’ve done it all in order of release now…or you skipped that step to do it all chronologically. Here’s every Five Nights at Freddy’s game and book (so far!) in chronological order; beware of spoilers.

'Five Nights at Freddy’s 4'

Taking place in 1983, Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 depicts the earliest point in the timeline so far. This game takes the player through multiple minigames that tell the story of a young boy who had a series of traumatic experiences at Fredbear’s Family Diner leading up to a party where he’s teased by bullies and his older brother. This game shows the Bite of ‘83 as the boy is lifted up to Freddy’s head and crushed by the animatronic’s mouth. The boy is implied to have died from the incident.

There are easter eggs regarding the Purple Guy in two of the minigames; he is also seen in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 and Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 .

'Five Nights at Freddy’s 2'

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 jumps forward a few years to 1987. Players assume the role of Jeremy Fitzgerald, a security guard at a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location. The location is currently under investigation due to a string of child murders carried out by the Purple Guy, though the police are mostly working based on rumors at this point. This is the first appearance of the mysterious purple figure in the franchise, and he returns throughout the series as more about the history of the animatronics is uncovered. This game is also the first appearance of Balloon Boy and The Puppet, whose identity is revealed in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator .

'Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location'

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location takes place at Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental, which uses animatronics supplied by Afton Robotics, and is operated by Freddy Fazbear creator William Afton. This game introduces the Scooping Room, where the endoskeletons of the animatronics are ripped out and salvaged for parts. This game also includes multiple endings, one of which reveals the Purple Guy’s identity.

'Five Nights at Freddy’s

We’ve made it to the first game! Playing as Mike Schmidt, players will continue to learn about the troubled past of the restaurant, including the child murders mentioned in the second game. This game mentions that a suspect was arrested for the murders, but that no bodies were ever found. When the animatronics begin to smell awful and leak blood-like fluid, it sparks the rumors that lead to the police investigation from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 . This occurrence also aligns with what the Phone Guy says will happen if the guard is caught by an animatronic: he’ll be stuffed into a suit and killed.

Five Nights at Freddy’s Novel Trilogy

Five Nights at Freddy’s takes place sometime in the early '90s, as it’s after the Bite of ‘87, and both Sister Location and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 have The Puppet in them, which puts the novel trilogy after these titles. It includes The Silver Eyes , The Twisted Ones , and The Fourth Closet , which take place between 1995 and 1996. The novels follow Charlotte Emily, the daughter of William Afton’s former business partner Henry Emily. They involve Charlotte trying to uncover the mysteries of her father’s death and the incidents of a Fazbear’s Pizza location, but it is revealed that she was murdered by William Afton and her soul has possessed an animatronic.

While the novels don’t perfectly align with the games, this is the best spot to read this trilogy to fill in some gaps on Henry Emily and The Puppet.

'Five Nights at Freddy’s 3'

This game takes place roughly 30 years after Five Nights at Freddy’s and takes place in an entirely new location: Fazbear’s Fright, a horror attraction based on the Fazbear’s Pizza characters. Unlike previous games, there’s only one animatronic the player has to fend off, a bunny called Springtrap. However, hallucinations of other deteriorated animatronics will haunt the player and cause equipment malfunctions. One of the minigames in this entry reveals that William Afton is possessing Springtrap, and the game has both a good and a bad ending that reveals the fate of the murdered children possessing the other animatronics.

'Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator'

This game follows Michael Afton (son of William Afton) at his job as the manager of a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Guided by the Cassette Man, Michael has to salvage the broken-down animatronics in a back alley, including Springtrap and Circus Baby. The ending reveals that Cassette Man is actually Henry Emily and that salvaging the animatronics was a trap so he could burn down the restaurants, killing himself and freeing all the spirits in the process.

Fazbear Frights Novel Series

This series has 12 novels ( Fazbear Frights 1-12 ), each containing three short stories and an epilogue. While many of the stories have no clear time they’re set in, they do contain characters shown throughout the aforementioned games and books (such as Springtrap) and are titled after Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 ’s setting. Reading this series after Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator is a good way to end what is colloquially known as the "Clickteam Series," a term sometimes used for the first six games, as they were made with Clickteam Fusion 2.5. These novels are also set before the more modern games. These should be read by their release date to keep the epilogues in order, as they have an overarching story.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted' & 'Five Nights at Freddy’s: Special Delivery'

Help Wanted recreates a number of scenes from the first three games under the guise of “undoing the bad press that Fazbear Entertainment has had over the last few decades,” so it is most likely after the damning events of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator . Special Delivery is done in a similar style to Help Wanted and serves the same reputation-fixing plot, so these two games should be paired and played at the same time.

'Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach'

The latest installment in the series, Security Breach , is set after Help Wanted and Special Delivery , which is evident by the fact that the restaurant has grown into a megaplex and seemingly overcome its former infamy. This is the first free-roam game of the series and it contains six endings. The canon ending sees the return of William Afton in a charred Springtrap suit in an underground location that’s suspiciously similar to ones seen in earlier games. In the end, we still don't see Afton’s demise, so there’s a chance he’ll be back !

Tales from the Pizzaplex Novel Series

The Tales from the Pizzaplex series ( Tales from the Pizzaplex 1-8 ) are similar in structure to Fazbear Frights . Each novel contains three short stories and an epilogue, and while they don’t provide much to give a specific timeframe, they all take place in the megaplex from Security Breach , which would set them during and after that game. These should be read by release date to keep the epilogues in order, as they have an overarching story.

Gen Alphas are already leaving their mark on the internet. Here are 9 slang terms they're using, and what they actually mean.

Gen Alpha is extremely online, and they are already beginning to develop their own slang.
These terms have been heavily influenced by Gen Z, memes, streamers, and video games.
Here are nine phrases that Gen Alpha is using, what they mean, and how you can incorporate them.

The oldest Gen Alphas are still only 10 years old, but their slang terms and sense of humor are already leaving people baffled .

A lot of Gen Alpha's language has been heavily influenced by their predecessors, Gen Zers and millennials, who popularized "internet slang," an everchanging library of phrases and terms that have spread across social media. Many have pointed out that lots of these terms originate from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and queer culture , but have now entered the mainstream worldwide, especially among young people.

The rise of streaming platforms, certain collaborative video games, and new influencers appear to have contributed to the speed with which this language is changing and developing, and Gen Alphas are already starting to put their own twist on online slang, which is rapidly moving offline too.

Here are some of the most popular phrases among this age group.

"Rizz" is a shortened version of "charisma."

—AMP KAI (@KaiCenat) June 12, 2021

The term "rizz," short for "charisma," was popularized by Gen Z streamers including Kai Cenat, Silky, and Duke Dennis to mean being able to charm people. It's also widely used among Gen Alpha.

But the context of the word is important. If someone has "W rizz," (short for "win") it means that someone has lots of rizz, while "L rizz" (which comes from the phrase "take the L" to mean losing gracefully) is the opposite — if someone tells you you've got "L rizz," it means you're severely lacking in rizz. Embarrassing.

If you've got an exceptional amount of rizz, you might be referred to as a "rizzler." And if you're able to charm people without even trying, people might even tell you that you have "unspoken rizz."

Example: "Wow, she's got some serious rizz."

"Fanum tax" is a running gag referring to Twitch streamer Fanum "taxing" people by stealing their food.

As Insider's Kieran Press-Reynolds reported, "Fanum tax" was coined by the Gen Z creator Fanum , who is part of the influencer collective AMP — an acronym for "Any Means Possible" — a group known for their real-life and gaming stunts and challenges.

In streams, Fanum would "tax" other members of AMP, including Kai Cenat, by stealing their food . This led to the term "Fanum tax," which is used to jokingly justify taking something that belongs to someone else, a kind of meme that has become popular among members of Gen Alpha.

Example:

Person 1: "You took my food." Person 2: "Fanum tax."

Getting "ratio'd" is an insult that typically means your comment has more negative interactions than positive ones on social media.

—Mike (@85mf) March 7, 2017

The concept of getting "ratio'd" came from X, formerly known as Twitter, in early 2017 when a user called Mike, who goes by the username @85mf, shared a screenshot of a post by former US Representitive Jason Chaffetz, according to Know Your Meme .

Unfortunately for Chaffetz, the post had a much higher number of replies than likes, suggesting more people disagreed than agreed with his point.

"Nothing on this site makes me happier than reply-to-RT ratios like this. That is the ratio of someone who fuuuuucked up," wrote Mike.

The usage of the term has since spread, and is widely used by members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha to refer to someone's comment getting a negative or controversial response.

Example: "Did you see that post? They got absolutely ratio'd."

"Sus" is a shortened version of "suspicious."

—PRimeExplorer✨ (@PRimeExplorer) September 6, 2020

The term "sus," short for "suspicious" or "suspect" is often used to call out someone who is acting in a questionable or untrustworthy way.

The term was largely popularized by "Among Us," an online multiplayer social deduction game in which players try to identify the imposter who is sabotaging their mission. It has also caused some controversy as it is linked to racist policing practices in the UK and associated with AAVE .

Still, it is now a widespread term among Gen Alphas, in particular those who play Among Us, according to Know Your Meme.

Example: "Did you see John today? He was acting kind of sus."

"Bet" is the new "OK."

@wearefirebelly We are always learning ♬ original sound - FIREBELLY

"Bet," a shortened version of "you bet," rose to popularity in the '90s, when it was recorded in a collection of campus slang and likely popularized by Black culture, according to Dictionary.com " but remains widely popular among young people today.

It's typically said with excitement and used as an affirmation.

—meya (@tameyarochelle_) January 16, 2020

Person 1: "Are you still up for hanging out next week?" Person 2: "Bet."

"GOAT" is an acronym for "greatest of all time."

@fortnite Show ‘em who's the greatest of all time with the GOATed Emote with moves and music by Armani White. Available to buy now in the Item Shop #fortnite #ch4s3 ♬ original sound - Fortnite Official

Getting called a "GOAT" may sound like an insult, but it's actually a big compliment.

The phrase is connected to Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer, who was nicknamed, "The Greatest." It was Ali's wife who turned it into "GOAT," an acronym for "greatest of all time," to increase his publicity in the 1990s, according to Dictionary.com .

Saying that someone is "GOATed" is another way of calling someone a GOAT. More recently, if you don't feel like writing it out, you can also use the goat emoji (🐐) instead.

It may have been increasingly popularized by the song "GOATed," which is based on this slang, and was released at the beginning of 2023 by the American rapper and singer-songwriter Armani White. In July, "Fortnite" — an online game that is very popular with members of Gen Alpha — released the "GOATed" emote , which is based on the dance in White's music video.

Example 1: "Good game, you're GOATed!"

Example 2: "Did you see the way he won that match? He's the GOAT."

"Bussin'" means that something's going really well.

An Urban Dictionary entry from 2017 describes "bussin'" as "what you would say if something was really good." It is believed to originate from AAVE, but became more widely popular in 2020, when people started using it on TikTok to describe food that was really good, according to Know Your Meme .

This caused some controversy , as many people argued it constituted cultural appropriation for non-Black people to use the phrase. Still, it's persisted in popularity and widespread use across Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Example: "This pizza's bussin'."

"Lore" means background information about something or someone.

@roman_redd idk is this just me #fyp #foryou #dadlore #dadlorememes #momlore #parentlore #parents ♬ original sound - Rome

"Lore" is a set of traditions, knowledge, or beliefs surrounding a subject, or held by a particular group of people.

But in Gen Alpha terms, it means something slightly different: if someone asks you what your "lore" is, they're asking you to share your backstory with them. If they're asking you about the "lore" of someone else, they're asking you to share facts about them.

Example: "What's your favorite MrBeast lore?"

"Cap" means that something is a lie, or that it is an exaggerated version of the truth.

@oncorhynchusdancing they're absolutely done with my bullshit. also AmongUs gets them very riled. #genalpha #millennial #millenialparents #genalphaparent #slang ♬ original sound - Ness Allen

The term "cap" comes from AAVE, and dates back to the 1900s, when it was used as a verb to mean "surpass," before it developed into meaning "brag," according to Dictionary.com .

The phrase "no cap" goes back at least a decade and is used to mean "no brag" or "no lie" — in other words, completely truthful. It was even more widely popularized when rappers Young Thug & Future released the track "No Cap" in 2017.

—Italiano (@YanoATL) February 6, 2017

If someone says you're "capping," they're suggesting you're faking or lying about something. Alternatively, you can say "no cap," which means you're not lying.

Person 1: "He said he's going on a date with the girl he sits next to in math class." Person 2: "He's capping."

Person 1: "There's no way you actually did that." Person 2: "I did. No cap."
