History Fridge / Ghost1990

* Oda Mae is never going to live a normal life again. As shown in the Orlando scene, a ton of ghosts in New York know she's a legit medium and will keep pestering her to contact their loved ones and take care of their unfinished business.

* Oda Mae is never going to live a normal life again. As shown in the Orlando scene, every single ghost in New York knows she's a legit medium and will keep pestering her to contact their loved ones.

* Oda Mae's sisters, two completely innocent bystanders who knew nothing about anything that went on during the movie, would have been killed along with her had they not managed to get inside a neighbor's apartment.

* When Carl confronts Willy at his place, namely demanding to know why he chose to kill Sam instead of just stealing his wallet, Willy gets up in his face, claiming that he did Carl a favour, that it was a freebie. Now why would Carl, who was Sam's best friend secretly want him dead? It's very likely that Willy knew of Carl's attraction towards Molly, and did him the "favour" of [[MurderTheHypotenuse killing off the competition.]]

** Plus, since ''Sam'' was the one to swing the ropes that broke the window that impaled Carl, it's unlikely there are any fingerprints on anything to suggest that Molly and Oda Mae attacked him that way themselves; the police would probably assume it was an accident as Carl was trying to escape.

** At the very least, the forensics team would find Carl's gun, discover his fingerprints on it, and conclude that Carl was trying to kill Molly and Oda Mae.

* The film ends well for Sam, as he avenges his death and goes to Heaven once his unfinished business on Earth is complete, but what about Molly and Oda Mae? Once the police arrive, they will find them alone with Carl's corpse, and there are no available witnesses to testify on their behalf...

* According to trivia, the sound effects used for the hell shadows are the sound of a baby's cry slowed down and played in reverse. It's very fitting, making it that the shadows' [[HellIsThatNoise unearthly moans]] represent ''death'', a flip-side of baby cries that represent ''birth''.

* At first, the police not taking Molly's word about checking on Willy Lopez seems like a case of PoliceAreUseless. However, one realizes that the police mention "there is no Willy Lopez", possibly insinuating that they have no police records on Willy. Of course they wouldn't! Karl was looking for somebody under the radar, so they would mug Sam, take the wallet with the password and Karl would be able to move the money with no fuss. So of course they wouldn't trace Willy back to him.

* According to trivia, the sound effects used for the hell shadows are the sound of a baby's cry slowed down and played in reverse. It's very fitting given the symbolism: babies are meant to symbolize birth, whereas the shadows embody ''death''.
