Now that you KNOW that the marshmallow man will be okay, try to rewatch that bit again. The real stay puft marshmallows were on Dana's kitchen counter earlier. When he climbs the building it's a King Kong reference. Obviously he catches fire, because that's what happens to marshmallows when you roast them too much. Even his destruction is harmless. Just a big SPLAT on the bad guy, who's then clearly alright. And if you turn off the sound? If you also think about it from a filming point if view. Obviously it isn't real. So precisely whow did they get the different bits on film? And where are the borders between techniques. The Stay Puft bit isn't just one take, but different tricks.🤔
Verly largely true...though I believe Bill does act a little differently for at least one director...Wes Anderson. I mean, Steve Zissou was not just the same old Bill, right? LOL
And he is Genuinely a CREEP in real life too! Plenty of women and actresses have complained about him over the years.. He's said to be very "Handsy" and touchy. And wouldn't exactly take No for an answer
No Bill Murray plays the wisecracking, womanizing hustler in only MEATBALLS, STRIPES and the first two GHOSTBUSTER movies. Maybe WILD THINGS, but that's it.
@@yournamehere6002while he isn’t a “hustler” the rest of that description fits Phil Connors from Groundhog Day as well. Murray definitely has a “type” he plays a lot.
The problem with the kids loving it was the studio wanted to dumb down Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 because the cartoon and toys were already huge at that point.
Back when this movie came out it was SO popular you could even win the car, the green blob "ghost" was everywhere (cartoons, advertising and so on). It was a complete madhouse. At least in the Netherlands.
Also, for movie trauma. I don't know. I accidentally saw Bram Stoker's Dracula when I was 12 and it messed me up for a year. I slept with christmas lights on all around my room , crucifixes everywhere and the first week I had a sharpened wooden dowel as even smeared my bedposts with garlic. Even wrapped my neck up with a blanket.
See if you can find a copy of "The Dracula Tape" by Fred Saberhagen. It presents the events from Bram Stoker's novel, but from the Count's very different perspective.
If you notice when the eggs start frying on the counter of Dana Barrett's apartment there is a bag of Stay-Puft marshmallows laying next to the egg carton giving a hint at what is to come.
Start the riot. Lol. Im disappointed too. First reaction I've seen that was a meh reaction. I think being that scared of Mr Stay Puft would qualify it as best movie ever.
@@orangeandblackattack To be honest, I don't mind. At least Dawn is truthful about movies she likes or dislikes, unlike other certain reaction channels that enthusiastically feign their love over anything that's deemed a classic. Although I just can't see how anyone can not love Ghostbusters, whatever generation.
@@sparky6086 Ha! I still have my proton packs, my traps, PKE meters, Ecto-1 car, action figures and other things. But I think that doll got lost long ago.
Your fear of the Marshmallow Man is absolutely fascinating. I believe you and don‘t think you are faking it and at the same time it‘s like this can‘t be real, stop it. 😂
As I watched this, I thought exactly the same thing. Here she is, watching Evil Dead and the likes, then a smiling man of marshmallow taking a stroll scares the bejeebus out of her. 😅
The 4th Ghostbuster is Ernie Hudson, who was a great cop in "The Crow" w: Brandon Lee: RIP, & in creepy "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" as a 🤔 special witness! 👍👍
The EPA is the environmental Protection Agency And I think the reason That the guy was mad about the ghost jail Was because of how much power it was using and he didn't understand why they were using so much power
"I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft!"
i just pressed play and im sooo excited to see u laff n smile....ur the best Dawn and ur vids brighten my day!!!!! also my bday is in 2 weeks soooo you should release The Transformers The animated movie cuz we all wanna see u react to it!!!!! luv u
This movie came out when I was 4 years old. We had this big stereo in our living room, and the song “who you gonna call” came on the radio, and I made my mom turn it up really loud. I loved that song.
@@bobbabaiSee, I was born at the beginning of the 80s. Movies like "Ghostbusters" (1&2), "Conan The Barbarian", "Beetlejuice", "Flight of the Navigator", "Tron", "The Last Starfighter", "Karate Kid" and all the rest had absolutely zero seriousness for us. They were just cool. Wasn't until the early/mid 90s when watching those movies as young teenagers did we understand the stories behind the characters and situations. But what we did "get" was that anything was possible through imagination. That message came through loud and clear. We didn't have personal electronic devices other than walkmans. And didn't even need those. Once we all grouped up to play anyone with a walkman just put theirs down. The 90s, going into teenage years, we didn't care about cars and tv shows...at least no tv show that wasn't animated. "Darkwing Duck", "Gargoyles", "Chip 'N Dale's Rescue Rangers", "Tale Spin", "Duck Tales", and even "The Gummie Bears" were the only tv shows we cared about. And that was after growing up with "The Smurfs", "G.I.Joe", "Transformers", "Thunder Cats", "Fraggle Rock", "Snorkels", "M.A.S.K.", "He-Man" and so many others. We were also rediscovering movies we weren't allowed to watch, or, unaware of their existence. Like "Heavy Metal" (one of my favorites). Wasn't until the late 90s/early 00's we even began to worry about a car. Or started watching shows like "That 70s Show" which, for us, was "grown up" programming at the time. We missed all the horrors of the 70s, and then avoided (as kids) all the nonsense of the social media generations afterwards. I feel like we, 80s/90s kids, were the last to actually experience a childhood dominated by our imaginations. Not the dictates of corporations conditioning us to bee hive our way through life...totally dependent on the will, need and greed of others.
@@nittyblahblah8939 Sorry, but no. It was the 80s had the repressive Reaganite, corporate schlock. That's not merely an opinion, the bookkeeping of show business back it up. The 70s, particularly the early 70s, was when creativity in films and TV, and even more, music, flourished. The 80s were stale, safe, driven by profit rather than artistic content, and thoroughly uninspiring.
Such an iconic movie! After this, you have three more to watch: Ghostbusters 2, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. RIP Harold Ramis(Egon) ❤
My favorite (serious) Bill Murray roles are in The Razor's Edge (1984) and Lost in Translation (2003). The Razor's Edge is quite an epic movie in scope and Bill Murray's role is so completely different from his comedy work that he's hardly recognizable as the same actor. It probably wasn't one of his highest grossing movies, being a serious (WWI) drama, and Murray was certainly at the peak of his comedy films so it may have confused audiences. But as a period film, it holds up well even decades later.
What Dawn didn't know as a child was that this Mr. Stay-Puft, he's not so bad. He's a sailor. He's in New York. If they'd just gotten that guy laid there would have been no trouble
Stay Puft was certainly scary in the Ghostbusters 2009 game, especially after hitting him with boson darts and proton stream. His face would gradually get blackened, tarred, and mouth gaping but still coming up the building at ya, roaring. Scary, plus my grandma was stay puft in a dream I had, she was coming down the street after me LOL
The songwriter, Ray Parker Jr, was actually sued by Huey Lewis. The judge found for Huey in undisclosed settlement. Hueys's song was "I wanna New Drug" and you can definitely hear the plagiarism. Huey had turned them down to do a song.
"Slimer (also known as Onionhead, Little Spud, or The Green Ghost) was a ghost made up of pure Ectoplasm and the first ghost successfully captured by the Ghostbusters. Slimer is well known for his gigantic appetite and the slime he leaves behind when he passes through solid objects." --- Ghostbusters Wiki
Venkman was written for John Belushi, but he became a ghost and Bill Murray was enticed to play the part on condition he get to do the drama The Razor’s Edge (my fave movie of all time - you’d like Murray in that). If you listen to some of Venkman’s dialog, you can totally tell they were written for Belushi.
Don't worry Dawn. You are not the only one having a childhood PTSD from characters. Mine are the ice queen and Groke from Moomin. They still give me chills.
Watching marshmallow man over and over. Laugh at him. I watch videos of hornet and wasp nest removal to help with my phobia, from stepping on a ground hornet nest as a young child.
I’ve heard “The ghost in the library,” “Scenes with The TerrorDogs Zuul & Vinz Clortho,” & maybe even “Slimmer coming at Venkman in the hotel.” However, I can honestly say I’ve never heard anyone (even as a kid) scared of Stay Puft. 😏
It is always interesting to see how the new viewers react to Bill Murray's character, and this is usually their first experience with him. The movie did not scare my young self but it, along with seeing a book called "13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey" around that same time, inspired me to wonder if there were ghosts in the house.
I know exactly how you feel, don't worry: I have a childhood fear of the Bumble (the abominable snowman thing) from the old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer stop motion movie. Even though I'm not technically scared of it anymore, the memory lingers, and when I watch the movie I still get a chill.
The Taxi driver Ghost scared the crap outta me when I was a Kid! I watch quite a few Reaction TH-camrs. You and Alex Hefner are by far my Faves. You're adorable!
When I saw this back in 1984 in Movie theater I was 11. At the same time I was scared sh! tless and laughed my a$$ Off. And had nightmares about this. But I just couldn't stop watching. Still one of my favorite movies of all time😂
Bill Murray is in Caddyshack, his character is funny in that one, but Rodney Dangerfield stole that show. If you haven't seen it, it's has a very good chance to make your best movie ever list.
I like caddyshack, but its energy died about 25 minutes in. I think it was the lack of continuity between the opening Danny/family story to when the Carl Spackler character entered.
Rodnicious Dangerfieldder steals EVERY show. When I was born the nurse slapped me. The doc got in a few good hits too. Every time my wife wears heels she strikes oil. The doc told me to quit smoking, so I decided I'd only smoke after sex. I haven't had a cigarette in two months, but my wife's now on two packs a day.
Best way to deal with a childhood movie fear? Face it head on. Had you watched it, Dawn, you'd have seen the Stay Puft Man was actually kind of adorable in a corporate character way. Plus, knowing the good guys win, it's easier to deal with. Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis are both graduates from the hilarious Canadian sketch comedy TV show, SCTV. Moranis was one half of SCTV's recurring Bob and Doug McKenzie sketches, with Dave Thomas. You'd probably recognise a few others from the same show, such as John Candy or Martin Short. All of the cast members went on to major movie careers or solid appearances as character actors. Part of the appeal of the show was that every actor played multiple characters, all very different from the other parts they played. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd came from Saturday Night Live, where cast members also played multiple characters, but were still always recognisable as themselves playing a part. All four of the Ghostbusters had known each other for years, performing stage sketch and improv comedy long before their TV and movie fame. The song, as catchy as it is, was written and performed by Ray Parker Jr. However, if you listen to it, you'll find it's almost identical to Huey Lewis and the News' hit song, I Need A New Drug. This is because Lewis was originally asked to do the theme song but had to decline because of his busy schedule. So Parker was asked, but told to write it exactly how Lewis would have done. I don't recall if Huey Lewis ever sued over copyright infringement but he would have won had he done so.
No clue, Gremlins terrified me as a kid. Not Jason, not Freddy, freakin Gremlins. They still get me a little to this day despite being able to watch the movie now.
One way of getting over a trauma is exposure therapy that means like if you're scared of dogs you go look at some dogs or if you're scared of what that marshmallow man you just keep looking at him
Well, I've never thought of this before, but the hotel manager looks like John Cleese. So much so, that I'm sure they were thinking of Cleese (Fawlty Towers) when they cast that role.
I think Ghostbusters was one of the first blockbuster movies where the brainiac / nerds won the day and got the girl. Revenge Of The Nerds came out the same year and really solidified that trope. War Games came out the previous year and really was part of this genre.
Dawn, your fear / phobia is interesting. Exposure therapy will get you past the trauma. Just keep looking at pictures, put the movie scene on repeat, etc. of The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man every day until seeing him becomes no big deal.
Rick Moranis was also great in 1986's Little Shop of Horrors (1986) with Steve Martiin and others (one of whom was in this film.) Rick teams up with Steve again in the classic Parenthood from 1989, along with Keanu Reeves, and an A-List cast.

8:45 The running gag about locking himself out is ironic when he becomes the key-master ultimately.

The problem with the kids loving it was the studio wanted to dumb down Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 because the cartoon and toys were already huge at that point.
Especially AFTER the movie was released, with the cartoon, merchandise like the toys.

When I was born the nurse slapped me. The doc got in a few good hits too.
Every time my wife wears heels she strikes oil.
The doc told me to quit smoking, so I decided I'd only smoke after sex. I haven't had a cigarette in two months, but my wife's now on two packs a day.
“Her eggs are off” 😂
Best way to deal with a childhood movie fear? Face it head on. Had you watched it, Dawn, you'd have seen the Stay Puft Man was actually kind of adorable in a corporate character way. Plus, knowing the good guys win, it's easier to deal with.
Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis are both graduates from the hilarious Canadian sketch comedy TV show, SCTV. Moranis was one half of SCTV's recurring Bob and Doug McKenzie sketches, with Dave Thomas. You'd probably recognise a few others from the same show, such as John Candy or Martin Short. All of the cast members went on to major movie careers or solid appearances as character actors. Part of the appeal of the show was that every actor played multiple characters, all very different from the other parts they played.
Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd came from Saturday Night Live, where cast members also played multiple characters, but were still always recognisable as themselves playing a part.
All four of the Ghostbusters had known each other for years, performing stage sketch and improv comedy long before their TV and movie fame.
The song, as catchy as it is, was written and performed by Ray Parker Jr. However, if you listen to it, you'll find it's almost identical to Huey Lewis and the News' hit song, I Need A New Drug. This is because Lewis was originally asked to do the theme song but had to decline because of his busy schedule. So Parker was asked, but told to write it exactly how Lewis would have done. I don't recall if Huey Lewis ever sued over copyright infringement but he would have won had he done so.
No clue, Gremlins terrified me as a kid. Not Jason, not Freddy, freakin Gremlins. They still get me a little to this day despite being able to watch the movie now.
One way of getting over a trauma is exposure therapy that means like if you're scared of dogs you go look at some dogs or if you're scared of what that marshmallow man you just keep looking at him
Well, I've never thought of this before, but the hotel manager looks like John Cleese. So much so, that I'm sure they were thinking of Cleese (Fawlty Towers) when they cast that role.
I think Ghostbusters was one of the first blockbuster movies where the brainiac / nerds won the day and got the girl. Revenge Of The Nerds came out the same year and really solidified that trope. War Games came out the previous year and really was part of this genre.
was taken to see this at the drive in. In 1984 I was 5. It scared me. But it didn’t become a fear. Freddie Krueger did that.
A different role for Bill Murray is in "Caddy Shack ". A classic.
Lol 'Slimer' the green one's great! He just hungry! Fraid to say best cure to something like that is exposure
The only way to get over your fear is is to face your fears
Exposure therapy. You have to watch this every night for a month!
Best movie based song ever. Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters.
Dawn, your fear / phobia is interesting. Exposure therapy will get you past the trauma. Just keep looking at pictures, put the movie scene on repeat, etc. of The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man every day until seeing him becomes no big deal.
Rick Moranis was also great in 1986's Little Shop of Horrors (1986) with Steve Martiin and others (one of whom was in this film.) Rick teams up with Steve again in the classic Parenthood from 1989, along with Keanu Reeves, and an A-List cast.
Don't forget Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
