10 Movie Monsters All Played By The Same Actor

2. Mama - Mama

It's hard not to say the title to this movie without breaking into song with Bohemian Rhapsody, but that's irrelevant. Before moving into the director's chair for IT: Chapter One and Chapter Two, Andy Muschietti scored big time when he was able to turn his short movie Mama into a full length feature of the same name with great results.

A big part of the success of Mama was of course the shadowy foster ghost which lurked over the two sisters that were adopted by Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's characters. Though the ghost of mama is played by no woman. It was played by Javier Botet, who adds another female ghost/entity/monster to his resume.

The ghost of Mama was born from tragedy. In her human form she was sent to an asylum and separated from her daughter. Torn by this separation she escapes and reunites with her daughter, stabbing a nun along the way, only for them to plummet to their deaths.

Sadly for Mama, the body of her daughter was separated from hers when they died, and she roams the mortal realm searching for her, until she finds two abandoned children in the forest, and makes them her own. Frightening stuff, right?
