23 Easter eggs & ’80s throwbacks in the new ‘Ghostbusters’

At the top center of this equation is a website, ParanormalStudiesLab.com, that tells you all about the tech.

Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) and Abby Yates’s (Melissa McCarthy) book from the film is available on Amazon.

Just outside Dean Filmore’s office is a golden bust modeled after Ramis, who passed away in 2014. 

Though Rick Moranis didn’t return for a cameo, McCarthy’s brain-scanning hat was clearly inspired by the original.

Because it’s 2016 and the rents in New York are so high, the new Ghostbusters can’t afford to rent the old Firehouse. 

Director Paul Feig insisted on using the original version of the song “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker, Jr.

Screenwriter Dippold plays the real estate agent who eventually finds them office space in a Chinese restaurant. 

Murray returns as Martin Heiss, a career paranormal skeptic and tries to debunk Erin and Abby’s work.

Instead of an ambulance, the new Ghostbusters drive a pimped-out 1980’s Cadillac Hearse. 

Hudson returns to play Patty’s (Leslie Jones) Uncle Bill who provides them with a hearse from his funeral home.

Winston’s (Ernie Hudson) famous line makes its way into an advertisment in Times Square.

Finally! The perfect snack to enjoy while hunting for ghosts.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man makes his own cameo in the film, but is easily defeated with some old-school tech. 

Also returning is Slimer, the green, gooey ghost, next to the same hot dog stand he attacked in the 1984 film.

For Ackroyd’s cameo, he’s dressed exactly like the zombie cab driver from the 1984 movie.

Abby gets posessed, causing her head to spin all the way around in a circle, just like Regan in The Exorcist. 

Potts returns as the desk clerk at the Mercado Hotel, where supernatural action is about to take place. 

Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), gets mileage out of the line “Whaddya want” made famous by Janine (Annie Potts).

The dance scene during the end credits is very similar to the dance in Jackson’s “Thriller” video from 1983.

McKinnon stole New Waver Thomas Dolby’s look. 

To add to the 1980s nostalgia, Osbourne plays himself, performing at a rock concert.

Weaver shows up at the end of the film as Holtzmann’s mentor, Rebecca Gorin. 

If you wait through the credits, there’s a little scene that makes reference to Zuul, the demon that started it all.
