Pepper's Ghost is the nineteenth studio album by Buckethead released on TDRS Music in 2007.
The album is a lot more straightforward than previous albums and has more "conventionally" structured songs by keeping the same "crisp and clean" sound of more recent albums, such as Crime Slunk Scene. Pepper's Ghost features the song "Imprint" which was dedicated to the film director Takashi Miike, who made the same titled episode for the horror series Masters of Horror.
The name of the album, as well as Buckethead's green glow in the album artwork, are references to the famous Pepper's Ghost illusion.
"Magua's Scalp" refers to the main villain in James Fenimore Cooper's novel The Last of the Mohicans, the Huron Indian Magua while "The Hills Have Headcheese" is an obvious play on the horror movie series The Hills Have Eyes.
