Remember that scene at the beginning of the movie, when the ghostly librarian transforms into a vile and terrible ghoul? That was arguably one of the most surprising (and terrifying) moments in the movie but it could have been a whole lot worse. The original transformation had the librarian turn into a similarly demonic creature which was deemed just too scary to use - especially considering that Ghostbusters was supposed to be a family film. The puppet that was created was deemed to be absolutely terrifying and was quickly replaced with the terrifying banshee we all recognise. But the puppet originally created for this scene was still put to good use. After all, nothing ever goes to waste in Hollywood. The demonic puppet eventually ended up on film, but it definitely wasn't rated PG. Seen in the 1985 horror flick Fright Night, it was used to depict the climactic battle with everyone's not-so-friendly neighbourhood vampire. Exposed to sunlight, we see the flesh literally burn from his bones. Lets just say its obvious why this wasn't used in Ghostbusters.
