Pumpkins: Day 34

Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf was born in 1505 A.D. within the Balkan kingdom of Carpathia in Hungary near the border of Italy. After rising to power, he ruled his homeland and later the conquered Romanian region of Moldovia with an iron fist, earning him the labels "'Scourge of Carpathia" and "Sorrow of Moldovia". History would remember him as a powerful magician and an intelligent genius, but also as an oppressive tyrant, an egotistical autocrat, a psychopathic lunatic, and a genocidal madman. Vigo finally died in the year 1610 at the age of 105 when his subjects rebelled; leading him to be poisoned, shot, stabbed, hung, stretched, disemboweled, finally drawn, and then quartered. Following his decapitation, his head issued a final prophecy before dying: "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back.". True to his word, he returned in modern day New York in 1989 and took up residence in his self-portrait that was created long before the events of his death. Vigo used the River of Psychomagnotheric Slime, which flowed through abandoned pneumatic subway tunnels to a location underneath the city's Manhattan Museum of Art, where the painting, along with the dead tyrant's evil spirit, resided. The mood slime boosted Vigo's powers and make him available to channel people's negative emotions needed for the manifestation of the army of angry spirits that soon started terrorizing New York City. Although the slime granted him power enough to manifest, he could not regain a physical form. For this reason, Vigo needed a baby to possess. He manipulated the Museum's Curator Dr. Janosz Poha into bringing Dana Barrett's baby, Oscar, to the Museum of Art so that on the eve of the new millennium, he could possess her child to be reborn and freely rule the world once again. Vigo's plans were halted by the Ghostbusters. They attacked him with positively charged slime and blasted him back into the painting, completely draining him of all his powers. After that, the painting of Vigo redesigned itself as an image depicting the Ghostbusters as heavenly saints. Spoiler alert.
