The 'Ghostbusters' Original Script Was Much Darker
Since bursting onto the cinematic scene in 1984, Ghostbusters has endured like few comedies before or since, spawning multiple sequels and adaptations across various mediums. Co-written by stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the Ivan Reitman-directed film went on to become the highest-grossing comedy in history upon release, promptly establishing a legacy as a pop culture phenomenon. But what ultimately ended up on the screen was a far cry from the earliest iterations of the film's script.
What Inspired Dan Aykroyd to Write 'Ghostbusters'? Growing up in Ontario, Dan Aykroyd descended from a long lineage of paranormal enthusiasts. As the great-grandson of a well-known spiritualist, the grandson of an engineer who toyed with the idea of contacting spirits through radio technology, and the son of an author who published work about the paranormal, the actor is no stranger to ghostly lore.
Aykroyd's central premise revolved around an opening to another dimension that flooded the world with hordes of ghosts, and in reaction, multiple teams of "ghost smashers," both heroic and nefarious, went into business to combat the threat. Despite the inclusion of familiar elements, however, the differences between Aykroyd's original vision and the final film were stark.
