Here are more of my favorite ghosts from the Ghostbusters franchise: The Scoleri Brothers! Although they are traditionally drawn, I had to do some photoshop alterations to make them come to life.

Here is a fact about them from Wiki:
Nunzio Scoleri and Tony Scoleri, better known as the Scoleri Brothers, were convicted murderers sentenced to death by electrocution by Judge Stephen "The Hammer" Wexler in 1948 at Ossining Prison. They came back as electrical poltergeists in 1989, brought forth from the spirit realm by negatively-charged mood slime in Judge Wexler's courtroom, which ironically, was fed by the very person who had them executed.

Initially appearing strapped into ghostly electric chairs, Nunzio and Tony broke free and came after the judge, throwing the courtroom into complete chaos. Luckily for Judge Wexler, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler were currently being tried in his court and, in return for having their judicial restraining order rescinded, the Ghostbusters were able to successfully trap the ghostly brothers.

The Scoleri Brothers are played (uncredited) by Tim Lawrence and Jim Fye in latex suits with animatronic masks. Ostensibly, Tony and Nunzio are based on the real-life Scoleri Brothers, who once robbed Harold Ramis's father Nate Ramis' store:

"The ghosts themselves were very loosely based on the fact that my father was a storekeeper who was once robbed and assaulted by the Scoleri Brothers." - Harold Ramis

Some however have suggested that they might be based instead on Tony and Eddie Scoleri, who were convicted of robbing and killing a store owner in Philadelphia in the 1960s.
