20 Things You Somehow Missed In Ghostbusters
7. The Phone Number Worked
Before we ever see Venkman, Spengler and Stantz don their iconic outfits and positron colliders, we get a humble glimpse into their first advertising campaign. Planting the seed for Dana's call for them, she sees a commercial on her television set (that, ironically, has been turned on by spirits).
The Ghostbusters proclaim "we're ready to believe you" and their phone number appears on screen.
Now, this one is something fans almost certainly missed unless they were old enough when the film came out to try it for themselves but that number actually worked. If you called you'd hear an out-of-character pre-recorded message from Murray and Aykroyd saying that they were too busy to take the call because they were tending to scared Broadway actresses. The fun never stops.
