Trivia: Some exteriors for Greendale were filmed at Los Angeles City College, a real school in LA. Most of the filming at the college took place during seasons one and six, which had higher budgets and could afford more location shoots. Other exteriors were shot around the Paramount lot.

Trivia: Future YouTube personalities Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans from RedLetterMedia were extras during the carnival scene. Stoklasa was on the spinning swing ride in the background while Evans can just barely be seen wandering about in the crowd in wide-shots. Despite it being a three night shoot, the two quit after only one night because they were miserable. Especially Stoklasa, who became physically ill after being on the swing ride for two hours straight.

Trivia: Whenever the main characters are eating frozen yogurt, it's actually mashed potatoes, since real frozen yogurt would melt too quickly to film properly. Additionally, whenever Eleanor is eating shrimp, it's actually completely artificial since actress Kristen Bell is a vegetarian and didn't want to eat real shrimp. She referred to the artificial shrimp as painted "rubber nuggets."

Season 1 generally

Trivia: The cast were sworn to secrecy to not reveal the big twist at the end of season one. Reportedly, all the cast members were really good at keeping the secret... except Ted Danson, who couldn't help but give away the twist anytime he tried to explain the show to someone.

Trivia: Doc Ock's tentacles had nicknames behind the scenes - Larry, Harry, Moe and Flo. The puppeteers also subtly tried to give each tentacle a distinct "personality," which you can notice if you watch their behavior closely. For example, "Flo" is the tentacle that most directly interacts with Ock. (Taking off his glasses, helping him take a drink, etc).

Trivia: Director Sam Raimi and composer Danny Elfman had a major falling out during production, and Elfman vowed never to work with Raimi again. As a result Elfman didn't return to work on "Spider-Man 3." However, a few years later, Elfman and Raimi made up, became friends again and ended up working together on several more films, including 2013's "Oz the Great and Powerful" and the upcoming "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

Trivia: The first draft of the script involved Dana being kidnapped and taken to Scotland, where she'd discover an underground world of fairy-tale creatures, fairies, monsters and witches. The Ghostbusters would then have to travel to Scotland to save her. Dan Aykroyd has said that the script was simply "really too far out... too inaccessible."

TedStixon

Trivia: A great deal of the film was changed after poor test-screenings. In the original cut, there's a scene where Ray is possessed by Vigo earlier in the film and dangerously drives the Ecto-1 through the streets. Eugene Levy also appeared as Louis' cousin who helps the Ghostbusters get out of the hospital. There was a sub-plot of Louis trying to catch Slimer but being comically out-witted every time. Several scenes were substantially longer. And the entire climax was completely different.

Trivia: As is often the case, when the film was broadcast on cable, several deleted scenes were added back in to make the film fit a two-hour broadcast window. Perhaps most notably, the broadcast television version had an entirely different introduction to Andy and Tyler, who arrive at the military school via bus and talk during the ride in.

Trivia: As is often the case, when the film was broadcast on cable, several deleted scenes were added back in to make the film fit a two-hour broadcast window. They are mainly short character-centric scenes. There are also some alternate takes to censor profanity. (Ex. Instead of Kyle flipping off Chucky, she instead says "Playtime's over!").

TedStixon

Trivia: The final film in the franchise to use the "Child's Play" name until the 2019 remake 28 years later. All other sequels instead used the title "Chucky." ("Bride of Chucky," "Curse of Chucky," etc).
