Trivia[]
- The Icon ghost's stride down the sidewalk was story boarded by Eddie Fitzgerald to be a homage to John Travolta's character in "Saturday Night Fever."[1]
- The trap used at the end was still from the pilot and not the design of the show.
- The shot of all the ghosts was used as the inspiration for Cover RI of Ghostbusters Issue #15.
- The group shot on the back cover of Volume 8 and seen on page 22 of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #20 is a homage to the end of the first title sequence of The Real Ghostbusters.
