It’s in three! The August, September and October '83 drafts all contain a second ‘callback’ scene later in the montage, immediately preceding the deleted ‘3D movie house’ scene, where the businessman is still unaware anything paranormal is occurring. Here’s the wording from the August draft. The other two are virtually identical. "EXT. STREET The cab driven by the corpse weaves through traffic at breakneck speed. Cars are forced up on the curb.

Haha, that’s hilarious! Wish we coulda seen that. Today it’d be some zombie Uber driver and a clueless yuppie on their smartphone. There’s something rather Jacques Tati-esque about the social commentary in that and the 3-D horror show scene. Just when I thought I couldn’t appreciate the movie any more… ---

@ghostengineer: Egon also wears the [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) on his [pistol belt](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/uniform-pistol-belt) twice, once in " [Short Stuff](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/short-stuff)" when all four Ghostbusters bail out of Ecto 1 since it was taken over by one of the bounty hunters sent by the Ghost Master and again in “Ghost World” when he goes to the amusement park. Mrs. Spengler then takes it off his belt and uses it when Egon is dealing with the ghost controlling Janine. I think that might be more examples of this, but I can not recall any at the moment. This a good catch, its certainly one detail that I have overlooked even since I got a copy of [The Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) on DVD from Time Life. ---

Thanks Venkman Jr. I was never a fan of the later seasons for obvious reasons and [Short stuff](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/short-stuff) is one of those episodes I never watched again. I believe this season came out about the same time as GB2 which could be why they went with hanging the trap from the belt ? Personally, I don’t think it looks right for RGB but hey, if you decide to cosplay that, now you have an excuse to. ---

@ghostengineer: [Short Stuff](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/short-stuff) is from season four (1988) one year before [Ghostbusters II](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-ii-activision) came out in theaters. 1988 was also when [Kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) released the [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) roleplaying toy which had a pull out belt clip to hang the trap on your belt. I am guessing this is wear the animators got the idea for the Ghostbusters to do this from. Plus [Ray Stantz](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/ray-stantz) carried the Ghost Trap on his [pistol belt](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/uniform-pistol-belt) in the original movie, so it does stand to reason that the animators having seen Ghostbusters would have wanted to do this on the show at some point. ---

Just rewatched the episode “[Take Two](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/take-two),” and noticed that the number on the private jet that they take to Hollywood is “G84” or possibly “GB4” (it’s kinda hard to tell). Either way, since the characters B and 8 are interchangeable, it looks like code for GB84, or Ghostbusters 1984, the very movie which makes an appearance at the end of the episode. Neato. ---

In the episode **Masquerade** , there’s an advertisement for Camel cigarettes. In a dang kid’s show!

You are certainly correct that arced fonts are tolerably common in business logos, but I think the smoking gun (no pun intended) is the word “Camel” itself. In America at least, the only time people encounter the word “camel” in daily life (aside from maybe “■■■■■■■■■”) is in connection to the cigarettes. We don’t have camels roaming around Ohio, or even camel mascots for our sports teams. Certainly, there are no other _products_ named “Camel.” And that it’s an arced blue font (with the same kind of sideways horseshoe-shaped capital E) makes me certain the artist had ciggies in mind. ---

I think the look of the E is more the result of it being a sloppy bit of free-handed painted writing than by design, the ‘M’ in particular looks very poorly rendered, and the “A” and “L” are missing their distinctive strokes. ---

Just rewatched the original _Nosferatu_ on the occasion of its 100th birthday this month, and something dawned upon me: Count Orlok is an awful lot like [the Boogieman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/the-boogieman) from [The Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison), or rather vice versa, the Boogieman is an awful lot like Count Orlok. Consider the big pointy nose, pointy ears, pointy teeth, the long fingernails, pale skin, and gothy frock that he wears. Not only that, but the Boogieman’s creeping shadow brings to mind some of the most iconic imagery from Nosferatu, and the Boogieman’s domain is pure German Expressionism, with doorways distorted and stairwells askew. There are other obvious parallels as well, such as both characters’ exclusively nocturnal activity, their ability to psychokinetically open doors, and their habit of preying upon people in their bedrooms. I could go on further, but I think the point is made; the Boogieman was almost certainly inspired (in part) by _Nosferatu_ (and the Boogieman’s domain was perhaps inspired by _other_ works of German Expressionism, such as _The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari_). As for what motivated that bonkers blue mullet, I haven’t the faintest clue, but I like it. :boogieman: [Previous page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/lets-play-quot-ever-notice-rgb-edition-quot/35103.md?page=2)
