Team Ghost: Dead Film Star

There’s something odd about watching a film after an actor dies. You’re not talking about the big names usually, just the faces in the background, the actors who showed up in a dozen movies you loved without much thought. But once they’re dead, suddenly every time you watch those films they’re there again, exactly the same age as they were on set, doing the exact same thing. It doesn’t hurt or anything. It’s just strange—a ghost that was always visible, you just weren’t looking. Film locks people in time whether they asked to be locked or not.
