Fright Knight is the name of a fictional ghost in Danny Phantom. He appears as villain, who is voiced by Michael Dorn.

[edit] 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 to 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 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 it is unknown what that deal is. It is most likely he works for Vlad now. But was double-crossed by the master as his master's betrayal, in the ending, he appears right behind of Vlad to help Danny to trap the king so that he won't harm anyone.

In an alternate future in the beginning The Ultimate Enemy, He works for Dark Danny, and shows up to attack the future Valerie before Dark Danny does where he flew towards her rained down black meteors. He appears as Dark Danny's new henchman.

[edit] Personality/Weakness

A ruthless knight, Fright Knight lives to strike fear into the hearts of anyone he's against. If that doesn't work, he prefers to fight his way, using his skills to proclaim his superiority. It seems he either teams up or works for anyone whom might be of potential benefit to him.

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 and it is:

To cease the storm

to end the fear

the sword must sheath

in pumpkin near

[edit] Trivia

The Fright Knight has appeared in every TV movie except "Reality Trip".

The name of his sword (Soul Shredder) is similar to the names of other famous video game swords, Soul Calibur of the same game name, and Soul Reaver of the game Legacy of Kain.
