Ghost? Fine. Zombie? Whatever. Nuclear war? Slightly concerning. But regex? PURE TERROR. That incomprehensible string of brackets, slashes, and special characters is the true horror story of programming. You start with a simple pattern match and end up summoning an eldritch abomination that somehow passes all your tests but fails spectacularly in production. The character falling off their chair and literally dying is the most accurate representation of regex debugging I've ever seen. The tombstone is for your sanity, not your body.
