I remember my older brother complaining about how in nightmare on elm street the guy they murdered for being a pedophile child murderer was literally that.

So it's dumb he became a powerful spirit haunting the town.
He likes when ghosts have some sort of karmic justice they enforce.

So "The Simpsons" did it better is what you're saying?

Lol I couldn't for the life of me figure out why he had those cream filled wafer stick things coming out of his fingers until I saw the rope in the next picture and it finally made sense
