From left to right: Vaughn, Scotty and Jane.

An television show produced in 2001 about a rock band that comes across [[Phlebotinum|a magic amule] that allows them to [[I See Dead People|see and communicate with ghost]. This new power obligates the three band members, Scotty, Vaughn and Jane, to help the dead people finish any [[Unfinished Busines] and [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existenc].

The show's genre was a solid mix of [[Urban Fantas], [[Horro] and [[Dram]. Only 13 episodes were produced before it was canceled.

Tropes used in Dead Last include:

• [[Applied Phlebotinu]: The Amulet of Soren.
• [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existenc]: Holders of the Amulet of Soren are entrusted to help ghosts take care of any [[Unfinished Busines] and move on to the afterlife.
• Blessed with Suck: The ability to see and communicate with ghosts comes with very few perks, and a lot of drawbacks. Helping out spirits is a mostly thankless job, and it tends to make [[Muggle] think you're either crazy or on drugs.
• Cassandra Truth: Whenever any of the band members claim that [[I See Dead People|can see ghost].
• [[Clingy MacGuffi]: The Amulet of Soren can't be destroyed by any means, and always makes its way back to the holders.
• [[Ghostly Goal]
• [[Invisible to Normal]: Ghosts are invisible to anyone who isn't one of the current holders of the amulet.
• [[I See Dead Peopl]: Whole premise of the show.
• Jacob Marley Apparel: In one extreme case, a ghost died naked. This made things extremely awkward for the main characters.
• [[Magnetic Mediu]: Justified. Ghosts tend to flock to the amulet bearers because they want to resolve their [[Unfinished Busines] and move on to the afterlife.
• [[No Endin]: Due to the fact that only 13 episodes were produced.
• [[Mr. Expositio]: The former holder of the Amulet of Soren stuck around after he died so that he could [[Info Dump|explain the responsibilitie] that come along with the amulet to the next holders.
• [[Poltergeis]: With enough time and practice, ghosts can develop [[Psychic Power]. This means that in many cases the protagonists can't simply ignore ghosts, because the ghosts would just use their [[Poltergeis] powers to make the protagonists' lives miserable.
• [[Selective Obliviousnes]: The protagonists attempt this occasionally to avoid having to help ghosts. It usually doesn't turn out well.
• [[Spoiler Openin]: The incredibly poorly done opening completely spoils the events of first episode.
• [[Unfinished Busines]: The reason ghosts exist.
• [[Urban Fantas]
• [[Weirdness Magne]: The Amulet of Soren acts as one. Justified in that bearing the amulet forces the users to help spirits with their [[Ghostly Goal], so naturally ghosts seek out the amulet-bearers.
