After a few seconds, one realizes it's actually a stylized satanic goat's head...
...other side, as he lies broken bodied on the shoulder of a country road, is a giant anteater, who offers to serve as Rickman's guide in unraveling the mystery of Kingdom's haunting. The beast warns Rickman to conserve his strength and watch for the hospital's wandering ghost girl--and licks off an ant crawling across Rickman's face. "Yum!" says the spirit creature.
