History Trivia / Ghost

!!For the Swedish band:

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The StoryArc of Sister Imperator getting into a car accident and requiring reconstructive facial surgery was written due to the [[https://www.loudersound.com/features/how-ghost-became-the-face-of-the-new-generation-of-heavy-metal falling out]] between Tobias Forge and the actress who played the original (old) Sister Imperator, though the exact details haven't been made public. The purpose is to lead to TheOtherDarrin, explained in the entry below.

* SelfDeprecation: [[https://twitter.com/thebandGHOST/status/954404882047410176 This video]] has Cardinal Copia criticizing Papa III's vocals. [[spoiler:Both are played by Tobias Forge, obviously, and sound exactly the same.]]

* BigNameFan: Ghost's celebrity fans include Music/DaveGrohl, [[Music/{{Metallica}} James Hetfield]], Wrestling/ChrisJericho, Wrestling/AleisterBlack, to name just a few.

** Cardinal Copia's name is frequently shortened to "[[Music/{{CardiB}} Cardi C]]."

** The Ghoulettes who joined on the "Rats! on the Road" tour are affectionately nicknamed Pam and Karen by the fans.
*** They've also been given the nicknames Cirrus and Cumulus (after clouds) due to their designation as Air Ghouls.
* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: Liz Fenning, the actress who plays the [[TimeShiftedActor young version]] of Sister Imperator, [[https://twitter.com/lizfenning/status/1052577081123528705 was a fan of the band]] prior to getting cast in the role in early 2018.

* RuleThirtyFourCreatorReactions: The band is [[http://raggedysam.tumblr.com/post/143393485899/so-im-working-on-scanningeditingposting-the very aware]] that they've attracted this sort of attention. After mentioning their surprise at having a significant number of female fans, a Ghoul [[http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/9107-ghost-bc/ had this to say:]] "It’s pretentious, but isn’t that what defines art? A piece of something that inspires other people to carry on living or carry on doing something, that intrigues them to act in some way. So people doing drawings like that about what they want to do with the band, I think that is a great compliment. And it gives us the approval knowing that we’re doing something right. And it’s fun."

* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: The actress cast as a young Sister Imperator looks almost identical to her older self, right down to having the same nose shape and wide eyes.

** This trope could be applied for Papa Nihil as well. There was a huge difference in the way Papa Zero (the one who came onstage as Papa III was dragged away) and Papa Nihil (in the Chapter videos) are in make up and manner that this could be argued to be the case.

* TheOtherDarrin: The actress for the elderly Sister Imperator changed between filming of Chapter Three and Chapter Four. Despite this the replacement actress looked and sounded so similar to the old one that it was only via WordOfGod that confirmed the change took place.

* OneOfUs: When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2Zvewphik&feature=youtu.be&t=133 asked]] who is more evil, Papa Emeritus or [[StarWars Darth Vader]], one of the Ghouls was able to respond with a fairly detailed analysis of Vader's character.
** [[spoiler: The Ghoul in question is actually Tobias Forge himself, who would dress as a Nameless Ghoul to do interviews before his identity was revealed. Forge stated in a 2018 interview with Metal Talks that he's something of a film buff, with his father being big into cinematography and photography, as well as his brother and mother. This love of movies, combined with a love for rock music, led to Ghost, with the theatrics of horror movies and the rock music that he loved so much.]]
