Whilst it could all be played for wacky fun, there's an actual reason that Dana gets her first real taste of the supernatural via a vision she sees inside of her refrigerator.

The scenes are played for shock and laughs but seem to not really impact the actual story. After all, it's the building itself that matters right? Sort of...

When the Ghostbusters make their way into the apartment in the final act they come across a chilling set of stone stairs that didn't exist prior. Since the apartment is destroyed it's hard to tell, but they are precisely where the fridge had been before. There was a reason that the ghostly power happened to bleed through Dana's cooler. The steps to Gozer's temple were just behind it, all along.

Coming from a content creation background that now spans over two decades, Psy cut her teeth on personal video production and community radio. Originally joining the team as a writer and presenter, she added video editing duties to her responsibilities over time and became the longest-standing editor of the irreverent gaming show Tues Your Own Adventure. Psy has worked on many previews and reviews, long-form editorials (either her own, or supporting as an editor), as a frequent quizmaster and more. Praised for the two-pronged attack of her hard work ethic and light-hearted editing style, Psy is otherwise known as a font of retro video game knowledge which has caused her to rack up many quiz wins. Outside of WhatCulture, Psy runs First Aid Spray Podcast - a long-running channel that focuses on Resident Evil in all of it's forms.
