Mentioned before 1990, but does not appear until 1995 at the earliest… One movie, but other appearances. TV series? Video game? Comics? “Originally human” implies not human at some point. Vampire? Zombie? Werewolf? #16 and #4 combined could imply dies in-story. Or maybe becomes undead. Horror-comedies from that time frame… Evil Dead? The first movie is straight-up horror, but the other two lean more towards comedy. Original trilogy was pre-1995, but the TV series is within the last decade. Can’t think of an I character (or anyone’s name besides Ash) Return of the Living Dead? Some of the sequels were post-1995 Beetlejuice? Had an animated spin-off and some video games, but I think all were pre-1995. Still thinking… ---

_Ghost_ also seems a likely candidate for “originally human”. I haven’t come up with anything yet. ---

Time’s up, and I am # Ivo Shandor The Gozer-worshipping architect who designed the weird Manhattan apartment building featured in the original _Ghostbusters_. **CFOHG** was close. Prominently mentioned but unseen in that movie, he later appeared in other iterations of the franchise. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Ivo Shandor Good one! I’d ruled out Ghostbusters early on… The first two movies came out before 1990, and I was under the impression the 2016 reboot didn’t share any continuity. I had completely forgotten about Afterlife (still haven’t gotten around to seeing it). Wikipedia says he also was in the video game that was sort-of considered to be Ghostbusters III. Again, good stumper. ---
