Other Father

The Other Father is the secondary antagonist of the 2009 film Coraline.

Coraline
A doppelganger of Charlie Jones created by the Beldam, creator of the Other World, the Other Father acted as a substitute father for Charlie's daughter Coraline. During Coraline's first two visits to the Other World, the Other Father was attentive and caring towards Coraline, unlike Charlie who was caught up in his work. During Coraline's third visit to the Other World, the Beldam, posing as the Other Mother, requested that Coraline remain in the Other World on the condition that Coraline have buttons sewn in her eyes. Coraline bluntly refused and at that point, the Other Mother became abusive towards Coraline and her other creations, including the Other Father, who became gloomy and depressed as a result.

After the Other Mother abducted Coraline's parents, the Other Father, who had become deformed and resembled a pumpkin, briefly restrained Coraline and forced her in a chair as the Other Mother locked the door to the Other World, trapping Coraline. After Coraline challenged the Other Mother to let her attempt to find her parents and the eyes of the ghost children in order to be set free, the Other Father was forced to act as an obstacle to stop Coraline. However, as he crossed over a bridge after Coraline, the bridge began to collapse. Breaking free from the Other Mother's control, the Other Father willingly gave up one of the ghost children's eyes to Coraline before collapsing into the lake below.
