Fright Knight is the name of a fictional villainous ghost in Danny Phantom. He is voiced by Michael Dorn.
Appearance/History
In Fright Night, the Fright Knight (also known as 'The Spirit of Halloween'), came about as a result of Danny borrowing his sword for his Halloween contest. He chases after him and takes over Amity Park with his sword, the Soul Shredder, which causes people to disappear into a dimension where they experience their greatest fears (which include Mr. Lancer in a dimension where he is tied and forced to scratch the chalkboard, and Tucker on a deserted island in his boxers with no technology). His sword is also one of the few things that dwell in the Ghost Zone that has a corporeal form, as Danny was able to grasp it in his human state, though it seems to lose this quality upon entering the real world. Fright Knight also rides around on a bat-winged Pegasus ghost known as the Nightmare. Danny, however, managed to trap him inside a pumpkin by placing his sword inside and chanting the spell to seal him.
He returned in Reign Storm where it is revealed that he was a servant of Pariah Dark. He continues to do so as he helps his master take over Amity Park, but by the end seems to have been one of the many ghosts against the King. He also apparently made a deal with Vlad Plasmius, though the details of that deal are unknown. It is most likely that he now works for Vlad. However, he is betrayed by his master, and in the ending, he appears right behind Vlad to help Danny trap the king so that he will not harm anyone.
In an alternate future in the beginning of The Ultimate Enemy, he works for Dark Danny, and appears to attack the future Valerie before Dark Danny does, raining black meteors down upon her. He appears as Dark Danny's new henchman. He made a cameo in "Frightmare" in a dream sequence of Danny's while he was under the control of Nocturne.
The Fright Knight's final appearance is in the series finale, Phantom Planet. He is one of the many ghosts who helps Danny and Skulker turn the entire planet intangible, so that an asteroid can pass through it.
Personality/Weakness
A ruthless knight, Fright Knight revels in striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. Failing that, he prefers to fight his way, using his skills to assert his superiority. He seems to readily team up or work for anyone he deems potentially beneficial.
His major weakness is that he is sent back to the Ghost Zone if someone (namely Danny) puts his sword inside a pumpkin and says the incantation to send him back:
- To cease the storm,
- to end the fear,
- the sword must sheath,
- in pumpkin near.
Known Powers
- Floating/Hovering: Standard ghost powers, sometimes aided by his mount, the Nightmare.
- Black Meteors: Seen only once, and apparently only he can do this.
- Sword Attack: Possible for anyone, though the Soul Shredder's power to induce extreme fear is unique.
