5) **Parker Crane / The Bride in Black (Insidious, 2010)**

Parker Crane’s ghost is horrifying because it mixes supernatural fear with real-world horror. Dressed in a black wedding gown with smeared makeup and lifeless eyes, Parker looks like someone who lost their sanity before they died. What makes him worse is that he was a serial killer before becoming a ghost, so his presence feels dangerous even in death. The scariest moment happens when he appears behind Renai and lunges forward without any buildup. That scene feels sharp and sudden, like an attack you can’t prepare for. Tom Fitzpatrick played Parker and gave him an unsettling focus that made every movement feel deliberate and personal.
