I couldn't recall if it was from Poltergeist or 'Chucky', but one of football's most popular characters is back, too.
Roy Keane has been confirmed as the new manager of Ipswich Town, replacing Jim Magilton who was sacked on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old returns to management after resigning from his job as manager of Premier League Sunderland in December.
Keane had argueably been the most successful leader on the field during the modern era as Manchester United's captain, and proved his successful transition into management after gaining promotion with Sunderland from the Championship into the English Premier League.

Ipswich Town are eager to return to the top flight and see the former Manchester United midfielder as the man to realise that dream.
Keane worked wonders at the Stadium of Light after arriving at the club at the start of the 2006/07 season, transforming them from relegation fodder to Championship champions in just a matter of months.
Club owner Marcus Evans said: "I am delighted that Roy has agreed to join us and we are completely aligned in our ambitions for Ipswich Town.
"He has extensive contacts in the game and is a proven winner who encourages his team to play the attractive football that Ipswich Town fans have come to expect.
"I believe he is the right man to take this club where we want to be - the Premier League.''
Clegg, the former chief executive of the British Olympic Association, added: "The appointment of Roy Keane further demonstrates our commitment to help Ipswich Town Football Club achieve our aim of returning to the Premier League at the earliest possible opportunity.
"Roy has experienced promotion as Championship winners as a manager and, importantly, then kept his side in English football's top flight, and I am looking forward to working with him.''
