Judas Coyne
for Judas Coyne in The Heart Shaped Box
Suggested by somepoisonapple
Aging rock star Judas Coyne spends his retirement collecting morbid memorabillia such as a witch's confession, a real snuff film and, after being sent an e-mail directly about the item online, a dead man's suit. He is told by the daughter that the old man's spirit is attached to this funeral suit. The ghost will go wherever it does and so buying this suit would effectively be buying a poltergeist; Judas cannot pass up this opportunity. The suit arrives in a heart-shaped box. Various odd occurrences cause Judas to realize that the ghost is dangerous and is out to kill him and those around him. His assistant, Danny Wooten, leaves Jude's service, but not before contacting the woman who sent the suit. Jude finds out that the ghost was the father of a groupie, Florida, whom he dated for a few months and who had later committed suicide. The ghost wants revenge on Jude for causing Florida's death, as he sees it. Jude flees his house with his current girlfriend, Georgia, with the ghost chasing them.
