Wasn’t there supposed to be some kind of Moose Skeleton ghost? They showed it on the Universal Studios Ghostbusters event a couple of years ago.
Yeah, still trying to track the OP about it. But there’s this newer post about it.
EDIT: Here it is

And I suppose, I don’t think we saw Winston’s Z logo/business card in the end tag?

Maybe the “Moose Spirit” as I hope it comes to be called, even though I think it has a specific name I’m too lazy to look up, is one of those ideas Jason talks about backing away from and he mentioned the challenges of getting something to look scary and maybe this prop just didn’t look right. But… it would’ve been cool to feature in the montage sequence along with bug eye and add flavour to the rural setting. I hope we learn more in time, and with the release of the concept art book maybe.
Amazing work with this thread, mrmichaelt.
If it’s one thing I do feel like Afterlife is lacking it’s ironically… ghosts.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only new ghosts we see are Muncher, the old miner and the eyeball thing, that’s it?
The movie desperately needed an equivalent to the librarian ghost.
What was with all the artwork of Muncher with the Ecto-1 plate in its stomach? Another cut scene?
Regarding the “moose” ghost - it’s BS. That character in the haunted house was just a reused Wendigo from Universal’s costume department, used as filler. Since those people on Twitter didn’t recognize it as a GB ghost, they assumed it’s from the new movie. Here it is in a photo from a prior year.
The miner memorial was briefly seen, overflowing with ectoplasm.
The famous photo (from trailer 2) of the four guys with cigarette Egon was not in the movie. I guess it belonged to cut parts of Janine’s first scene.
Thanks. Was it in the Muncher chase, the ghost montage, some other scene?
The ghost montage showed it overflowing.
Moose ghost double-twist?
I don’t think these are the same model… I could be wrong:
(Tongue-in-cheek, they are different but I don’t think this photo is enough evidence of it being a cut ghost. We’ll presumably get a glimpse of it in the upcoming artbook if it was)
Correct.
Guesses of cut material based on my second viewing:
Miner memorial could have featured more prominently in longer scene when Podcast gives Phoebe a tour of the town and its mysteries.
We might have seen more of the farmhouse and therefore the kitchen with mood slime toaster in a longer Grooberson/Callie scene (where she asks if he wants a tour and he picks up the map).
Based on the stuff in the background, I’m beyond confident it’s part of the set dressing from [spoiler]Peter and Dana’s apartment[/i], on the mantlepiece.
I’m glad this scene was cut; it sets up the other students as being mean and making Phoebe a victim instead of simply showing her as a really awkward girl. We don’t need her to be bullied to show the audience she doesn’t fit in… that was perfectly demonstrated by the rest of the film.
We haven’t seen the full scene or how Phoebe responds. Expanding on the Summerville cast would help the movie feel more grounded and alive. I’d need to see the whole scene and interaction to make my mind up.
The close-up shots of Zombie miner are different. IIRC the ones in the trailer were not in the movie.
Idk, the mini shelving looks different next to the white mantlepiece in the end tag. Based on the lighting on the wall in the shot of the group photo looking more tan than white, I think it could be an area behind Dana that we briefly see.
I’m confident the books I’ve circled in this illicit cellphone pic and from the trailer are the same stack:
The position of the lampshade also makes me feel that’s the same area.
In the Collider Interviews video, Jason did say the assembly cut was 3 hours. So 1 hour was trimmed. But later in the interview, he repeats that the “Reitman cut” is the theatrical cut and we’ll see a “few deleted scenes” in the home release.
In the Yes Have Some interview video, Jason confirmed they tried shooting the scene from his initial idea of Phoebe shooting a field and making popcorn but they couldn’t quite pull it off (6:48-7:26).
I’m begging Jason, please give us the full hour of deleted scenes or even the assembly cut as an extra. The home release costs enough. Fans would drop £150 on the deluxe set if it came with this added bonus.
Let the fans do their edit, it was one of the most fun things about ATC post-release.
Although could see them holding on to this stuff for anniversary editions in ten, twenty years.
Even with the added deleted scense I doubt the “professional” critics would change their scoring, but yeah i’d like to eventualy see if there were any easter eggs or equipment we missed.
