so apparently we are not allowing articles on haunted vehicles like cars or trains, this would mean things like The Car, Christine and the Camera from Goosebumps would not be allowed.. I'm confused here..

I'm pretty sure Christine and the like while being "inanimate" objects are clearly evil monsters in their settings with demonic personality beyond simply being a "tool" or "item" - Christine especially strikes me as every bit the slasher villainess as any Sleep Away Camp or origin Friday Thirteenth killer.. she just happens to *appear* as a car.

demons and spirits have a LONG history of appearing as everyday items, in the olden days they'd appear as horses or carriages or even trees and bridges.. they were still seen as monsters with personality and purpose.. so should most "haunt items".

the rules about "character only" should NOT mean we delete characters simply because they manifest as non-humanoid items or concepts.. if a series has a monster manifest as a malevolent board-game that can think and act, to the point of killing and trapping victims it deserves to be treated as a character as much as any other villain.. to deny them is to be pretty human-centric..

haunted items are monsters from a long tradition and getting rid of them is taking the "no items / events" too far.
