Buckle Up, Boogeyman! We're Bustin' Myths About Ghostbusters Filming Locations
Ah, Ghostbusters! A movie so iconic, it's practically a national treasure. We all know the catchy theme song, the proton packs that look like vacuum cleaners on steroids, and the endless battle against Slimer and his spectral buddies. But there's one question that's been buzzing around the internet like a possessed toaster: Where was Ghostbusters filmed?
Hold on to your proton packs, because the answer might surprise you!
Many folks assume the spooky shenanigans went down in a quaint Oklahoma town. After all, the story follows the Spengler family moving to Summerville, Oklahoma, to inherit Egon's farmhouse. Sounds like a prime location for some ghostly goings-on, right?
Wrong!
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Prepare yourselves for this shocking revelation: The town of Summerville is completely fictional! (Mind blown? Us too.) The filmmakers cleverly crafted a small-town vibe, but those scenes weren't filmed anywhere near the Sooner State.
So, where did they film Ghostbusters: Afterlife?
Welcome to Canada, Eh! That's right, our friends to the north played host to the Ghostbusters crew. Specifically, the movie was filmed in various locations around Calgary, Alberta. Apparently, Canadian towns can be just as spooky as their American counterparts. Who knew?
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Hold up, wasn't there a Ghostbusters filmed in New York?
Absolutely! The original 1984 Ghostbusters was filmed in none other than the Big Apple itself. Think towering skyscrapers, bustling streets, and that iconic firehouse headquarters. New York City provided the perfect backdrop for the Ghostbusters' proton-packing adventures.
