Storyline

Over 35 years after the original Ghostbusters, a broke single mom and her kids move to the small town of Summerville where they stay in a old broken down house "most likely Egon's" and soon discover the iconic Ecto-1, Ghost Traps, and a strange underground base. But soon realize they must take on the mantle of their grandfather, with some help along the way when a new and much darker threat rises from the Shandor Mine, that seems to be strangely connected to all the activity.

Trivia

Finn Wolfhard assumed the '80s-set Stranger Things (2016) in which his character, Mike Wheeler, dressed up as a Ghostbuster for Halloween in Stranger Things: Chapter Two: Trick or Treat, Freak (2017) would take him out of the running and thought that Jason Reitman would not look at his tape because he had already done it in Stranger Things (2016), but Wolfhard ended up getting cast to his surprise because Reitman identified with Wolfhard's audition tape.

Quotes

Trevor's classmate: What are you doing here in Summerville?
Trevor: Honestly, my mom won't say it, but we're completely broke. And the only thing that's left in our name is this creepy old farmhouse my grandfather left us in the middle of nowhere.
