Mining movies for setting ideas

[DJCupboard]

I'm under the impresion they can't be turned, because if they can be turned, then a high enough roll could destroy them, and "naught but returning our stolen treasure will end our curse" or however Barbosa phrases it, makes that seem like it shouldn't be an option. For game balance, I would probably give them turn resistance as well as the ability to reform, 1dx days (or hours, or whatever) later if they are destroyed by any means if the treasure hasn't been returned.

Hellboy
The tomb of Rasputin would make an amazing dungeon setting. The traps that seperate people, the demon-spawning pool, the bridge with the giant swinging hammer taking out sections, etc.

Didn't an issue of Dragon essentially have stats for the Cyclopses race like the ones from Krull? Medium-sized, able to fortell their deaths, etc.

Cyclopeans from 323- had two types, the more barbaric traditional cyclops and a more cerebral enlightened version.

Some varient on the lich template would probably work for that.

Ghost stories in general, or are there some I might could look up online to get a better idea of what kind of ghost you're talking about?

I spoke about the movies Chinese Ghost Stories I, II, and III. Here is what WIKI and Amazon have to tell about them.
