The premise

Here’s the bit.

Lee walks through a cemetery holding a bouquet when the glowing ghost of Stuart Furfle rises from his grave, overjoyed that an old friend from Miss Lacey's eighth-grade class has finally come to see him. Lee plays along while barely remembering Stuart, botching the details of his hiking death outside Boulder, Colorado, and admitting he never answered Stuart's LinkedIn invitation. Stuart invites him to unburden himself the way mourners do, until Lee lets slip that he is really there for his grandfather two rows over and only wants Stuart to pass along a message. Humiliated, Stuart tells Lee to take the flowers to his grandfather and vanishes back into his grave, then pops up once more to promise a lifetime of haunting.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Crazy the way I went out like that, huh?

I mean, it's like, who gets killed by a boulder these days?

And if you have a daughter, I'm gonna possess the creepiest doll in her bedroom.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
