Blackbeard's Ghost
When a mischievous ghost of the pirate Blackbeard teams up with his elderly descendant to protect a group home from greedy developers, a well-meaning but clueless young man gets swept into the supernatural showdown.
“He's out'a sight...literally!”
Synopsis
The eponymous wraith returns to Earth to aid his descendant, elderly Emily Stowecroft. The villains seek to evict Emily and her friends from their group home in order to build an illegal casino. Good guy Steve Walker becomes entangled in the conflict after summoning Blackbeard.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
