The Flasher Ghost was one of several ghosts to appear after Rowan broke the barrier between the living and the dead. He appeared in the 2016 Ghostbusters movie.
History[]
During the madness of the invasion of ghosts, this ghost appears on the corner, flashing a fleeing man and woman among many to skirt past this perverted ghost.
Trivia[]
- Kyle Brown came up with several rough sketches of ghosts for Times Square. The less risque version of the Flasher Ghost was chosen.[1]
- There was push back from Sony executives about the Flasher Ghost being deemed offensive after they saw preliminary art depicting a demonic mouth and tongue replacing the private parts of the character. The preliminary art was never going to be used anyway.[2][3]
- The scene with the Flasher Ghost was filmed at 260 Franklin Street during the Boston shoot.

It was totally blue sky, just some rough sketches trying to come up with different goofy ghost archetypes to populate the third act. The Flasher does show up for a split second, sans some more questionable features lol."
