Slimer kinda took over in the last season(s?) of the cartoon, making it "Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters". As you might guess, it was not as good as before. Before, they had legit scary episodes like the one with the Man in the Closet and straight up Cthulhu.
Yep, though in this movie his name is "Onionhead" in the credits! At some point they use the term 'slimer' to refer to a type of ghost rather than a specific one.
erica, our young host, is THE MOST genuine and sincere "reactor" i've ever watched. she's not only concerned about the character having to return to the store, she also wonders about what she BOUGHT at the store in the first place. you can't get anymore sincere than that. she also comes up with some of the most interseting commentary and profound observations. and she has the most wonderful deadpan delivery that's most endearing. i can't tell if its an act or if its real. in any case, she's got me sold. she's my new favorite reactor on youtube. anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
You are exactly the kind of person I'd like to watch new or re-watch old movies with. You listen to things that should be listened to, get situations and references and react to scenes like a human being would 😁... I've seen so many people react the opposite (=not listening, understanding, reacting like a human) and it's totally refreshing to see you... thank you for being you. You deserve your subscriber numbers blowing up.
I stumbled across your channel because you reviewed my favorite movie of all time Jaws! I found myself not really paying attention to the movie clips but your quirky and genuine reactions. So far this is the 2nd review I’m watching and I have to say I loved it as well. I will tell my friends to follow and like to help you build your channel. There are so many of these types of movie review channels but yours stands out in a crowded field. Keep it genuine and you will be wildly successful!! Best of luck!!!
At 10:40 the actress playing the housekeeper was informed of the pyro rigged up to the cart but not how much. That was her genuine reaction to all the explosions. In the 2009 Ghostbusters video game, the GBs return to the Sedgwick hotel and they talk about how she got a restraining order against them.
I think you have great potential regarding film reactions from my point of view (And good choices about movies right now), that's why I'm subscribing and since I'm falling in love that's 2 reasons lol Keep up your reactions I love it! Kiss from France ;)
One of my favorite funny moments in this movie: Egon: Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie…35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. Ray coughs in surprise- Winston: That's a BIG Twinkie 😆😆🤣🤣
That rotting cab driver ghost scared me as a kid. :) My idea is that since ghosts are basically energy they can appear as whatever their soul is like when they die, good or evil.
@@Cinesituation I used to drive for Uber and one rider told me he had a driver who was doing hard drugs AS he was driving. So, could always be worse. :)
@@Area51byDaveReale I once used a taxi in Amsterdam, and I wonder if he wasn't an official/registered taxi driver, as he was seriously speeding and on the 10 minute drive back to the hotel he managed to damage more than half a dozen parked cars. Coincidentally he seemed to be under the influence of at least one class A drug.
I just discovered your channel today. Very nice job. Keep up the good work. I look forward to see a lot more from you in the future. And congrats on your channel.
One thing about watching movies in the 80's, is that most of the time you could go to one-room classic theaters that had an opera-house style look and feel. The entire process including the ticket booth and lobby and trailers and matinee added to the vibe. There were very few ways for the movie to be spoiled as well, mostly you knew a vague rumor about it or who was the main star. Then you got hit with an original experience. The movie was much more than a product to click and consume.
When this movie came out, we had a theater like that in my town. All movie showing were events, and the atmosphere of the theater was as much a part of the experience as the movie. Nothing like that now with the multiplexes. I miss it.
You’ve chosen some great films so far, and I’m hooked. Since you obviously dug ”Shaun of the dead” I sincerely recommend ”Hot Fuzz”. The third installment of the Cornetto trilogy (”The World’s End”) is also a good one, as is another Pegg/Frost collaboration called ”Paul”, which is a truly heartfelt love letter to 80’s Spielberg like ”E.T.” and ”Close encounters”. You’re funny, charming and lovely, and you’re a Smiths fan. I’m in! 💙🥂
The library scene was filmed at the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue. Rare books and special research rooms are kept there. The university is filmed on the Columbia University campus. The refurbished firehouse is a real working firehouse located in Tribeca in lower Manhattan. The scene at the Tavern on the Green restaurant is a joke about New Yorkers ignoring weird activity and continuing about their business. The restaurant is on Central Park West near 65th Street.
Subscribed. My stroned self thought I heard her something along the lines of "I like her outfit". "When the demon possessed her did he pick that outfit out of her closet?". Not a quote. I like it.

"THey have merch." You wouldn't believe how much merch they had. T shirts, lunch boxes.... SOOOOO many people were Ghostbusters for Halloween that year. The song and the music video were all over the radio and MTV. Movie theme songs were almost a requirement in the 80s. That seems to have gone away since the late 90s. Ghostbusters is not a cult classic... it was a HUGE blockbuster hit right out of the gate.
Since the money backing their venture belonged to Ray, the guys basically had no choice but to accept the firehouse as the base for their operations. Ray had the final say, and he loved it.
Likely, Egon had the place picked out, and it's obvious that he and Peter were trying to negotiate a lower price. They knew that the firehouse would be the place, but didn't want to have Ray paying full price for it. Which, Ray sabotages with his enthusiasm.
Aww, it was fun watching this with you! 20 minutes was way too short though and while your channel is still young, I am looking forward to you having a patreon with full-length reactions!
Hi Erica! I've watched your reactions to Jaws and Ghostbusters twice now and have subscribed. Didn't watch your first video as I've never seen the movie. I like the way you present your reactions and am looking forward to your future videos. Of course I have a long list of movies I hope you will watch from before you were born but won't bombard you with them just yet... Yes, I'm wonderful. I don't follow many who do reactions as so many are just completely over the top. Popcorn in bed, Jen Murray, (both Canadians) Bunnytailsreacts (American), Centane (Scandanavia) and MovieJoob (Australian) are the five I mostly watch. They are empathetic, thoughtful and at times very funny. You fit right in there. Good luck with your channel! xx
Very good reaction video. Good movie choice too. Ghost Busters 2 is also a very good sequal. Not 100% as good as the first one but still a must watch if you liked the first. (Everything after that is just fan-fic)
Ghostbusters is a perfect mix of comedy and horror, I think the sfx has held up pretty well for a movie from the 80s. I can always appreciate our cousins from the north watching the classics .
Oh, Canada (😉) has its mark on this movie as well. Dan Aykroyd is from Ottowa, Rick Moranis is from Toronto, producer Joe Medjuck is from New Brunswick, director Ivan Reitman was born in Slovokia, but grew up in Toronto, and Harold Ramis was born in Chicago, but worked on SCTV in Canada.
Welcome to the club. As the dock worker says in part 2, "better late than never". And yeah, the Ghostbusters were the most popular people in the world for a while. The real world merchandising was on everything. There was even like sundaes with "slimer slime" that tasted like bubblegum, "slimer hi-C", the cartoon, all sorts of toys, the NES game, even a cereal. And of course the other movies and what they brought. And especially the song and its music video (if you haven't seen the music video check it out). Part 2 shows that the song is canon. Part 3 features one of the ghosts from the cartoon (hinting that some parts of the cartoon might be canon). Part 4 shows that the merchandising is canon. The franchise still has legions of fans, across multiple generations.
The shelf with books that falls in the library at the beginning after it was not part of the script. It really went down and the actors' reaction was genuine.
I was like 6 or 7 the first time I ever saw this movie. I remember because it was the first movie my family ever watched on VHS. It was probably 1986 and not many people had a VCR then, so when you rented a movie you could rent a VCR to hook to your tv to watch it 😂
In case no one else answered your question about what "Ecto 1" means, it's a reference to ectoplasm, which is the gooey slime that is left behind by ghosts (supposedly).
Warms my heart to see young people going back to watch the classics and still enjoying them! Gotta watch GB 2, Afterlife, and Frozen Empire now. 40 years of Ghostbusters!
when the zuul dog went after louis (keymaster) it went into him and possessed him when he fell at the restaurant (former tavern on the green; sadly it shut down) the people in the apartment definitely saw it and the people downstairs talk about it.
As someone who was there, Ghostbusters was huge with the kids. I won a radio station contest in 1989 when I was a kid so I got free tickets to see Ghostbusters 2 in the theater on opening day. I was a massive fan and am so happy that my little boy loves Ghostbusters as much as his dad.
Ghostbusters 2 came out after the cartoon had been on for years and they actually made it with kid appeal in mind. (A major reason why it's not very good...) I was 8 when I saw the original in a theater, and loved it, but I also begged to stay and finish Blade Runner in a theater when my parents wanted to walk out.
The Tavern on the green scene with the terror dog and Louis i feel like goes over a lot of peoples heads but i think its meant to be a bunch of rich people that don't care that he got attacked🤣
Also, it’s NYC. Someone running up, banging on the windows while ranting and raving for no evident reason probably wouldn’t be too uncommon. “Oh, another one.”
I remember watching this movie 🎥 in cinema back in 1984 and immediately loved it. My brother who watched it with his friends loved it so much that he bought a cassette tape of Ghostbusters soundtrack which included this song, songs by other artists heard in the movie and the beautiful musical instrumental arrangement scored by Elmer Bernstein. Unfortunately both the mentioned audio cassette and the video tapes that I watched on TV with my friends a year later were pirated copies as we were too young to buy the originals. The video tape was rented by one of my friends’ cousin who loved it so much that he made an illegal copy of it then in turn rented out to me. Pretty slick the cousin. However I enjoyed both experiences back in the ‘80s. Such were the good ole times😅
I am obligated under an unwritten and imaginary contract stipulating a list of movies for which I am required to see anybody's first time reaction to watching them... Ghostbusters being one of these. And so, I am here. 🍿
You made a good point: why is it ok to catch a ghost and hold it indefinitely? I guess on ghost timescales a few years in jail wouldn't seem that long, but still. #GhostLivesMatter!
The movie is still fun to this day. I enjoyed the movies, cartoons, video games and comics. There is tons you can do with the franchise. I hope it continues to go on.
The green eating ghost is known as Slimer. He became a staple of the movies and the cartoon show _The Real Ghostbusters_ (the first season of which was actually very well-written). Zuul and Vinz Clortho were from the days of ancient Sumeria, and Vinz was likely a former human priest. So Zuul wearing colorful robes in mortal form instead of modern clothes would feel more natural to them; they were probably a dress or drapery that Zuul re-cut into robes. Zuul was also in Dana's body and felt the attraction to Peter that she did, but being an immortal from pre-Antiquity, they didn't feel inclined to be modest.
The original & best, still holds up IMO. The background stuff is just as fascinating. John Belushi was originally supposed to be Peter Venkman, but he ODed & died, so the part was re-written for Murray. Slimer is said to be something of an ode to the kinds of characters Belushi tended to play. Eddie Murphy was supposed to be Winston, but had scheduling conflicts (he was working on Beverly Hills Cop). John Candy was supposed to get the part that Rick Moranis wound up getting, but wanted to play the part as a Frenchman or German for some reason. If I could visit alternate Earths, I'd like to visit the one where John Belushi lived to play the role of Venkman. I can almost guarantee that the energy of the movie would be different. Slimer either wouldn't be in the movie at all or would've been re-written.
Very well cut for her channel. A very good honest reaction. She's also pretty funny. Anyone watching who likes reaction channels should sub right now. She's just starting and is very good with her cuts. 100% should sub! Give her love!
This movie is comedy partially based on two earlier horror films: "The Exorcist" (a classic), and "Poltergeist." If "Jaws" was the first summer blockbuster film, "The Exorcist" may have been the first blockbuster for the post-Christmas break. People were lined up around the block to see it. Other classic movies from this era you should hit - with actors from "Ghostbusters" - are "Alien," "Trading Places," and "Groundhog Day."
Erica, people ignoring Louis being attacked by the dog is a joke on the New Yorkers, about how they supposedly don't care about other people and their problems.
As maybe somewhat on a spectre guy, the biggest horror for me in the movie is seeing those library cards flying all over the place 😮 It would take FOREVER to reorganize them! 😅
Peter's questions to Alice the librarian were actually legitimate in checking to see that she wasn't having a psychotic break. He asked about family history, drug use, and if she was experiencing any hormonal fluctuations (there's a reason two of the spikes in mental illness are puberty and menopause/andropause). When studying the Paranormal the first thing you should try to do is rule out the natural explanations. Psychosis being a natural explanation Also the experiment Peter was running isn't even close to the most unethical experiment regarding Operant Conditioning
John Belushi was supposed to be in this movie before he died . Can you imagine how funny he would have been as a Ghostbuster. Great movie I remember seeing it in the theater when I was a kid
A fun idea since your channel is so new would be a video talking about some of the movies you've already seen. Help us recommend you more movies you haven't seen and avoid asking you to react to movies you have seen.
Great reaction! I don't know if it's so much that the people in the restaraunt could or couldn't see the demon dog, it's more that they don't care. New York City, especially in the 80s, had a reputation of being very impersonal and unfriendly, and this is the upper crust rich people of that :)
I was a kid when Ghostbusters came out, so when I didn't understand a joke or a line, I'd just kinda shrug it off, as kids do. So for a long ass time, I thought that line during Venkman's questioning of the librarian was "alicemenstruating" all one word. It was many years later in my 20s when I rewatched the movie and finally caught the joke :p
Nice reaction, hope you keep doing them. You are Canadian right? Seemed like some subtle accent. "Why was he down there?" Well when a man, or another woman likes a woman... 😁
@Cinesituation i love the enthousiastic reations you have to movies from my era's (60-70-80) they sure don't make movies like that anymore (a quote from the movie 'the omega man' with Charlton Heston) all the re-makes they are doing dont come close to the real stuff, a movie worth watching with 'stuff' in the name is 'the right stuff' with a lot of well known artists, have fun watching all those classics
The electric shock experiment at the beginning is based on a real experiment except that the person giving the shocks is actually the subject. The test is to see if the subject will obey instructions to give increasing strong shocks to the fake subject when the fake subject guesses wrong.
The irony of the key master constantly getting locked out of places 😅
Keymaster keeps locking himself out of his apartment. Funny 😂
Keymaster keeps locking himself out of his apartment. Funny 😂
OMG! I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT JOKE BEFORE!!!!
Can't believe I never caught that :)
I've never thought of that, but in my defense, I've only seen this movie about 200 times. 😅
"She's going to have to go back to the grocery store" - I like your brain, you have earned a subscription
7:05 "She's gonna have to go back to the grocery store."
😆😆That's the detail you catch, there. 😆🤷♂
Most underrated least gotten joke in cinema; "Listen! Do you smell something?" 😆
I love that line 😂
When I was a kid in the 80s, there was a Ghostbusters cartoon. The slime guy is "Slimer", and it was pretty much part of the crew. Good times.
Slimer kinda took over in the last season(s?) of the cartoon, making it "Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters". As you might guess, it was not as good as before.
Before, they had legit scary episodes like the one with the Man in the Closet and straight up Cthulhu.
Yep, though in this movie his name is "Onionhead" in the credits! At some point they use the term 'slimer' to refer to a type of ghost rather than a specific one.
@@neural_jam Yeah. A type of ghost that produces lots of slime.
Awesome. Nice to see you watching the old flicks we ancient ones grew up with.
I can’t imagine childhood without Ghostbusters,even before the cartoon(I preferred the movie even at that age)
Very big in Sumeria. Big movie!
Just found your channel, really enjoying your reactions and cant wait to see what's next Erica. Happy Reacting!
18:22 "Zuul got good fashion sense. You know?"
😆😆I mean, I guess. 😆
Eggs frying on the counter and she was worried about having to go back to the store. : )
Well, to be fair, being haunted isn’t the only inconvenience in that situation.
That is truly the real horror of the situation
erica, our young host, is THE MOST genuine and sincere "reactor" i've ever watched. she's not only concerned about the character having to return to the store, she also wonders about what she BOUGHT at the store in the first place. you can't get anymore sincere than that. she also comes up with some of the most interseting commentary and profound observations. and she has the most wonderful deadpan delivery that's most endearing. i can't tell if its an act or if its real. in any case, she's got me sold. she's my new favorite reactor on youtube. anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

Rick Moranis is a Canadian legend, he actually wrote most of his bit, including that the Keymaster always gets locked out.
ALL RISE IN THE PRESENCE OF DARK HELMET!!!!
He gave up acting for his family. So, while it's kinda sad that we don't see him in movies, at least it's because he's doing something great.
@@vladyvhv9579 I heard he was making a comeback
@ShuffleUpandDeal32 I really wish that he didn't retire, but I understand why he did, Darth helmet will always be a cousin to nobody .
Def add Real Genius, and Bill & Ted's excellent adventure. Great 80s vibes all around!
I think you have great potential regarding film reactions from my point of view (And good choices about movies right now), that's why I'm subscribing and since I'm falling in love that's 2 reasons lol Keep up your reactions I love it! Kiss from France ;)
Your reactions are quite delightful and fun, thank you.
Obsessing over Zuul's possible fashion choices was hilarious!

I was 8 when I saw the original in a theater, and loved it, but I also begged to stay and finish Blade Runner in a theater when my parents wanted to walk out.
The Tavern on the green scene with the terror dog and Louis i feel like goes over a lot of peoples heads but i think its meant to be a bunch of rich people that don't care that he got attacked🤣
Also, it’s NYC. Someone running up, banging on the windows while ranting and raving for no evident reason probably wouldn’t be too uncommon. “Oh, another one.”
I remember watching this movie 🎥 in cinema back in 1984 and immediately loved it. My brother who watched it with his friends loved it so much that he bought a cassette tape of Ghostbusters soundtrack which included this song, songs by other artists heard in the movie and the beautiful musical instrumental arrangement scored by Elmer Bernstein. Unfortunately both the mentioned audio cassette and the video tapes that I watched on TV with my friends a year later were pirated copies as we were too young to buy the originals. The video tape was rented by one of my friends’ cousin who loved it so much that he made an illegal copy of it then in turn rented out to me. Pretty slick the cousin. However I enjoyed both experiences back in the ‘80s. Such were the good ole times😅
I am obligated under an unwritten and imaginary contract stipulating a list of movies for which I am required to see anybody's first time reaction to watching them...
Ghostbusters being one of these.
And so, I am here. 🍿
You made a good point: why is it ok to catch a ghost and hold it indefinitely? I guess on ghost timescales a few years in jail wouldn't seem that long, but still. #GhostLivesMatter!
Hi 🤗 thank you for your RUclips channel, thanks for your company - it's nice to watch-a-long movies with you 🍿🎥🍿
For another SNL-inspired movie, try Blues Brothers. Be sure to get the longer cut. It actually makes sense!
The movie is still fun to this day. I enjoyed the movies, cartoons, video games and comics. There is tons you can do with the franchise. I hope it continues to go on.
_"Now, when I hear the song, I'm gonna know exactly what they're singing about."_
lol, nope, I'm afraid not.
The green eating ghost is known as Slimer. He became a staple of the movies and the cartoon show _The Real Ghostbusters_ (the first season of which was actually very well-written).
Zuul and Vinz Clortho were from the days of ancient Sumeria, and Vinz was likely a former human priest. So Zuul wearing colorful robes in mortal form instead of modern clothes would feel more natural to them; they were probably a dress or drapery that Zuul re-cut into robes. Zuul was also in Dana's body and felt the attraction to Peter that she did, but being an immortal from pre-Antiquity, they didn't feel inclined to be modest.
The original & best, still holds up IMO. The background stuff is just as fascinating. John Belushi was originally supposed to be Peter Venkman, but he ODed & died, so the part was re-written for Murray. Slimer is said to be something of an ode to the kinds of characters Belushi tended to play. Eddie Murphy was supposed to be Winston, but had scheduling conflicts (he was working on Beverly Hills Cop). John Candy was supposed to get the part that Rick Moranis wound up getting, but wanted to play the part as a Frenchman or German for some reason. If I could visit alternate Earths, I'd like to visit the one where John Belushi lived to play the role of Venkman. I can almost guarantee that the energy of the movie would be different. Slimer either wouldn't be in the movie at all or would've been re-written.
Every single scene a memorable line or exchange. “You only have seventy-five more to go”
Very well cut for her channel. A very good honest reaction. She's also pretty funny. Anyone watching who likes reaction channels should sub right now. She's just starting and is very good with her cuts. 100% should sub! Give her love!
First time I ever noticed the Stay Puft marshmallows on Dana's counter. I was always too busy watching the eggs.
I love this series of movies, Wonderful reaction to an amazing classic movie!! 🙂❤
This movie is comedy partially based on two earlier horror films: "The Exorcist" (a classic), and "Poltergeist." If "Jaws" was the first summer blockbuster film, "The Exorcist" may have been the first blockbuster for the post-Christmas break. People were lined up around the block to see it.
Other classic movies from this era you should hit - with actors from "Ghostbusters" - are "Alien," "Trading Places," and "Groundhog Day."
"You don't know what it's LIKE out there. I've WORKED in the private sector. They expect RESULTS..." XD
Erica, people ignoring Louis being attacked by the dog is a joke on the New Yorkers, about how they supposedly don't care about other people and their problems.
As maybe somewhat on a spectre guy, the biggest horror for me in the movie is seeing those library cards flying all over the place 😮 It would take FOREVER to reorganize them! 😅
That bookshelf wasn’t supposed to fall,it happened during the take and they went with it
Slimer was a celebrity for the rest of the '80s! What an icon!
Eggs? I'd be going for the marshmallows. Evil laugh is summoned.
Great reaction! This was my favorite movie as a kid. 😊
"I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of jt!" I still quote that, lol
This is one of the best movie scores. If you watch other Elmer Bernstein movies you can kinda hear some motifs that appear in other movies.
Peter's questions to Alice the librarian were actually legitimate in checking to see that she wasn't having a psychotic break. He asked about family history, drug use, and if she was experiencing any hormonal fluctuations (there's a reason two of the spikes in mental illness are puberty and menopause/andropause). When studying the Paranormal the first thing you should try to do is rule out the natural explanations. Psychosis being a natural explanation
Also the experiment Peter was running isn't even close to the most unethical experiment regarding Operant Conditioning
I don't think he was running an actual experiment, more like trying to hook up with the female student.
John Belushi was supposed to be in this movie before he died . Can you imagine how funny he would have been as a Ghostbuster. Great movie I remember seeing it in the theater when I was a kid
A fun idea since your channel is so new would be a video talking about some of the movies you've already seen. Help us recommend you more movies you haven't seen and avoid asking you to react to movies you have seen.
Erika your reactions are awesome, very entertaining channel.
She was right about the ghost in the hotel not being a human.
16:30 Thank you for calling the Gargoyle what it is - and certainly not a dog.
This has always been a standard movie in my collection. I've owned it in nearly every medium it was printed in, including BetaMax and LaserDisc.
Great reaction!
I don't know if it's so much that the people in the restaraunt could or couldn't see the demon dog, it's more that they don't care. New York City, especially in the 80s, had a reputation of being very impersonal and unfriendly, and this is the upper crust rich people of that :)
2:28 I could be wrong but I think this question is relating to her state of mind, PMS or something. Maybe he thinks she's overreacting.
Yeah, sort of a Freudian joke about hysteria.
I was a kid when Ghostbusters came out, so when I didn't understand a joke or a line, I'd just kinda shrug it off, as kids do. So for a long ass time, I thought that line during Venkman's questioning of the librarian was "alicemenstruating" all one word. It was many years later in my 20s when I rewatched the movie and finally caught the joke :p
Nice reaction, hope you keep doing them. You are Canadian right? Seemed like some subtle accent.
"Why was he down there?" Well when a man, or another woman likes a woman... 😁
Erica, we need more movie reactions. Please 🙏
Great reactions to your movies! Very expressive, you could have been a great actor. I vote for Rudy, Up or Breakfast Club.
@Cinesituation i love the enthousiastic reations you have to movies from my era's (60-70-80)
they sure don't make movies like that anymore (a quote from the movie 'the omega man' with Charlton Heston)
all the re-makes they are doing dont come close to the real stuff, a movie worth watching with 'stuff' in the name
is 'the right stuff' with a lot of well known artists, have fun watching all those classics
The electric shock experiment at the beginning is based on a real experiment except that the person giving the shocks is actually the subject. The test is to see if the subject will obey instructions to give increasing strong shocks to the fake subject when the fake subject guesses wrong.
Gozer did listen for a moment. Ray presented himself as an authority that is familiar with multiversal dimensions, the way a god would.

The squeezy thingy is a real monitor to measure gas leaks.
