Monster From Beyond the Veil: Difference between revisions

* The [[Big Bad]] of James Byron Huggins' ''Cain'' is a [[Monster From Beyond the Veil]]. [[Government Conspiracy|The military]] took it into their heads to take the dead body of one of their finest killers, named [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Cain]], and [[Super Soldier|rebuild him into a nigh-unkillable vampire assassin]]. The problem? Cain woke up on the slab, possessed by ''[[The Devil]].''

* Possibly used in ''[[Gone]]'', where the Gaiaphage uses Lana's powers to bring Drake and Brittney back from the dead ... together in the same body, and Drake is in control. When Brittney briefly gains control, she begs the heroes to kill her. Another interpretation is that being unable to die in a zombie state was Brittney's power, and the Gaiaphage fused her and Drake together when he died.

* In ''[[Pet Sematary]]'', humans who are buried in the Micmac Indian burial ground annex to the pet sematary are implied to become this. It's unclear whether animals resurrected are this, too stupid to do much other than become slightly more aggressive than they were in life, or [[Damaged Soul|Damaged Souls]].

Butters is understandably confused about the situation.
