GBII is more serious and darker than the original. The villain himself gave me the creeps as a kid and the whole premise is pretty sadistic. Oh yeah, he sure were a creepy looking dude. Having that picture, hanging at your work, staring all day at you, that would be quite some "cozy" enviroment.

Yeah..even now that creeps me out a little lol As a kid, I remember I had to sleep over (because of how many of the family guest that were at the house, at the same time) in the basement of my grandparents, and they had all these old, huge painted pictures, of old people on the wall, well, I guess they had been there, since before the bought the house, yet their eyes always seemed to follow me, in a creepy and really chilling way, so I could forget getting any sleep those two nights. When we drove home during the sunday afternoon, I completely passed out in the backseat, and I always tried to avoid that basement, at least when I were on my own.

IMDB Trivia: "Because the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters (1986) was so popular among children, Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis made a conscious effort to tone down the adult innuendo and behaviors from Ghostbusters (1984). All of the Ghostbusters gave up smoking (except for a few scenes where Ray has a cigar or pipe in his hand or in his mouth), and the ghosts took on appearances closer to those in the animated series rather than the more frightening effects of the first film. Brian Doyle Murray smokes a cigarette in the asylum interview scene." I just rewatched Ghostbusters with my six year old son Saturday. It's amazing how well that film holds up (except for the effects). I expected him to be freaked out by the library ghost (which he was), but really that's the scariest ghost in the film. The dog creatures are a little spooky I guess, especially when Zuul is first materializing in the kitchen or whatever. Other than that the ghosts are all played for laughs. Even that weird thing that comes out of the subway, or the zombie driving the car (great practical effects there) are only on the screen for a moment and don't seem menacing by any measure. Honestly I don't even know how 'scary' the library ghost would be if they didn't turn it into a jump scare. As a parent I was concerned about the innuendo, but as adults I think we forget what it is to be a kid. That stuff went over my head when I saw the movie in theaters when I was my son's age, and it went over his head the other day as well. We plan on watching the sequel next weekend on family movie night. I remember GBII being enjoyable enough; its biggest flaw is that it's not as good as the original-- which is a nearly flawless film.

The library ghost was pretty scary for me as a kid, after that I was completely fine with the movie. I always found the cab driver zombie too ridiculous to be scary.
