Villains who died and have remained dead, yet continue to have a lasting impact and presence from beyond the grave in an earthly and terrestrial way.

They can even be dead from the very beginning of their stories and appear primarily in flashbacks. Their actions in life (including their involvement in villainous events), their legacy, and the harm they caused may continue to have a lasting impact after their deaths. This may include villains from a debut film of a franchise as if they are dead, in the sequels, they may be a reference wich suffers the protagonist.
