{A haunted-looking castle}
William Black: WoooOOOooo! I am the ghost of William Black!
William Black: Fear me, mortal fools! Fear me! Fear me... Hello? Hmm. Maybe I need a recharge.
{A long sea voyage}
{Landing on the shore of a distant tropical island, at sunset}
[caption]: The journey was arduous.
{A moonlit scene of Black reaching a gravestone, beneath a palm tree}
William Black: At last, my grave. I must prepare for the spirit ritual.
[caption]: This time the moonlight was a little brighter...
[gravestone inscription]: RIP William Block 1757-1802
[caption]: Turns out I wasn't dead after all.

I was going for The Phantom meets Eraserhead in visual style.
