Summary

Collider Assigns

Collider released an eight-question Ghostbusters horror-survival quiz that blends Ghostbusters lore with stay-awake, terrain or confrontation tactics.
The quiz assigns each player a horror villain—Jason Voorhees or Pennywise—to show which monster they could most likely survive.
Promotional copy cites Bill Murray, Kate McKinnon and Mckenna Grace, plus jumpsuits and a nuclear reactor, positioning Night Shift’s premise as a hook for horror fans before its 2027 Netflix launch.

History

Historical Context

Columbia Pictures launched *Ghostbusters* on June 8 1984, a New York-set and starring Bill Murray comedy-horror that earned $282 million worldwide and sparked a multimedia franchise, including the Hook & Ladder 8 firehouse and the 1986 *Real Ghostbusters* cartoon. The new Netflix-Sony series *Night Shift* revives that model, reuniting Dan Aykroyd as producer while leveraging the original’s enduring brand.
