The "exploded" look of Salazar—with his floating hair and crumbling face—was a complex mix of practical and digital effects:
: As ghosts, Salazar and his crew can walk through solid objects and even run across the surface of the water.
Salazar and his crew were killed by a young Jack Sparrow. Before dying, they were sucked into the Devil’s Triangle . The curse of the Triangle brought them back as undead specters: floating in the air, with cracked porcelain skin, floating hair, and no reflection.
