Ghostbusters 1954 version

What if… Ghostbusters, the movie, was shot in 1954 instead of 1984? Who should be part of the cast? Would they have the same equipment? Who would they battle? Considering Dan Aykroyd’s concept owes a lot to Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, and Lewis and Martin comedies of the 40s and 50s, it is not that big of a stretch to speculate.

Here’s the recipe for the trailer:

Ghostbusters, The Three Stooges, Scared Stiff, Ghost Breakers, Topper Takes a Trip, The Ghost Busters, Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Man, Star Trek, Ghosts on the Loose, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Spooks Run Wild, Flubber, Son of Flubber, The Caddy, 100 ans d’histoires de Bibendum

This is a fake, independent, non-profit trailer. It is not endorsed or connected to Columbia Pictures or Sony. It was made as a purely technical exercise and for laughs.

Here is a frame by frame comparison of things you might’ve missed the first time you watched this fan-made trailer. You may want to pause the video if it plays too fast.
