The future holds a good life for Professor Shroomsky, but the circumstances surrounding the death and subsequent return of the same is a strange and mysterious concept. After his death, he was denied his ghost pass by Benny's impartial secretary. However, a member of the Antics household, knowing that horrible grief would strike Melvin Turtleheimer at the loss of his closest friend, used magic to pull him back by a loophole performed as he was dying. Shroomsky is now bound into what the Fourth Wall addresses as a Horcrux.
