Our Ghosts Are Different: Difference between revisions

* The ghosts of ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' usually resembled living monsters more than ghosts; discussions of death were ''verboten'' in Saturday morning fare at the time. There did seem to be a broad definition in-story of what was a “ghost” and what was “not a ghost”; if the heroes’ equipment was at least useful in “busting” it, it was a ghost. If not, it was “not a ghost”, a group that consisted of trolls, gremlins, vampires, and the Boogeyman. Creatures defined as “ghosts”, on the other hand, included skeletons, zombies, goblins, lycanthropes, and various demons.

** The [[Sequel Series]] ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]]'' took this [[Up To Eleven]], as it was rare for the heroes to bust monsters that could be considered traditional ghosts. Leprechauns, Golems, the Sphinx, the Pied Piper, Fenris, and demons of all varieties (including Native American, Indian, and Japanese origins) all seem to qualify as “ghosts” via the definition above.

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had [[Big Eater|Beezy]] being haunted by the ghost of his uneaten pizza crusts.
