One quick question
I think I have a pretty good handle on what's going on, but one thing I keep seeing is gretchen is a manipulated dead, but i thought they could only be seen by the living receiver. What gives?

The Manipulated Dead " are able to contact the Living Receiver through the Fourth Dimensional Construct." Which is what Frank does...
So during the whole movie there is a Tangent Frank driving around (as we see he and Donnie pass each other in the beginning) who has the ability to contact Donnie (as the bunny) through Fourth Dimensional construct...
Theoretically, Gretchen should be able to do the same thing as Frank, seeing how she is a manipulated dead, but she is more useful to the "Manipulator" to help Donnie realize love...
Another way I tend to look at it, is Frank is a more powerful “manipulated dead” than Gretchen, because Frank was killed directly by Donnie (so he can directly contact Donnie through the fourth dimension), where as Gretchen was an indirect death, so she isn’t as powerful of a manipulated dead when it comes to Donnie…
I hope that makes sense…

this is the correct answer but i do have to say something... we all talk about frank as being MD and able to contact donnie. and this makes you think frank is actually having some concious part in it. frank the person (i believe) has no idea or control over frank the BR, and i think that's something we need to make clear when talking about him or we could all get confused again...
