10 Terrifying Horror Movie Monsters With Very Little Screen Time

10. The Jackal - Thirteen Ghosts

This 2001 remake opens with Arthur's family moving into the mansion of a recently deceased relative, only to learn it's haunted by, you guessed it, thirteen ghosts.

This paranormal B-movie has all the hallmarks of a shoddy horror flick - clunky dialogue, a convoluted storyline, idiotic characters, and choppy editing. Most importantly, the ghosts aren't scary... save for one.

Arthur's assistant, Dennis, mentions The Jackal is the most dangerous spirit, referring to him as the "Charlie Manson of ghosts". As soon as you see this rebarbative phantom, you understand why. Because he's wearing a straightjacket and a metal cage around his head, you know this guy is deranged beyond measure. With his razor-sharp fingernails, this sinister spook makes short work of anyone foolish enough to go near him.

To highlight his insanity further, psychotic screaming and maniacal laughter can be heard anytime he's near. As such, The Jackal leaves viewers terrified, even before you see him.

If you haven't seen Thir13en Ghosts in a while, it's likely you don't recall much about the other dozen spectres. But it's impossible to forget The Jackal, despite his limited screen-time.
