Fun Facts

• This is the pilot episode -- that being the episode which was shown to ABC executives to sell the series.
• There are two versions of this episode which each feature different background music when the Ghostbusters fight the ghosts on the train. One version features standard series music, whereas "The Boogieman" (performed by Tahiti -- from the soundtrack album) is played in the other version. Videos of both versions can be found in the "Videos" section below. The Series Music Version is commonly played on television; the Tahiti Music Version can be found on the "Knock Knock" Magic Window home videocassette released in the 1980s, the "Adventures In Slime & Space" DVD released in the United Kingdom in 2004, and the "Manhattan Madness" DVD released by OS Films in 2005 (it's a professional bootleg of the two UK DVDs).
