10 Reasons Ghostbusters II Is Ridiculously Underrated

10. The Subway Scene Is Terrifying

The original Ghostbusters was a comedy it was also quite freaky in parts, with the library ghost or Dana's kitchen scene being creepier than all the Paranormal Activity movies combined.

Ghostbusters II kicked the horror up a notch and tried to find a balance between the comedy and scares. No scene illustrates this better than the team heading into the abandoned subway, and s*** gets creepy real fast. Winston plays around with echoes in the tunnel, only for the sound to drop and a demonic voice to reply.

Then they’re surrounded by visions of impaled heads, and if that wasn’t enough nightmare fuel, Winston has a head on encounter with a ghost train. This scene alone probably caused a few sleepless nights for younger kids; and maybe a few adults too.
