Definitely not. Ghostbusters is a work of imagination. It doesn't draw from any real events or people. It's all about having fun and delivering a fantastical story to the audience.
Well, in the real world, there are stories of unexplained phenomena and strange happenings that are often attributed to the supernatural. 'Ghostbusters' takes this idea of the unknown and the spooky. The equipment the Ghostbusters use, while highly fictionalized, is also related to the idea that in real - life paranormal investigations, people use various tools to try and detect or deal with ghosts. For example, they might use something like a modified version of a real - life EMF detector. And the fear and mystery that surrounds the ghosts in the movie is also reflective of how people in real - life stories describe their encounters with the paranormal.
Yes, it is. The idea of 'Ghostbusters' was loosely inspired by some real - life paranormal investigations and the concept of people dealing with the supernatural. However, the movie is highly fictionalized with lots of comical and out - of - this - world elements added for entertainment purposes.
Sorry, I don't know the precise cancellation date. Maybe it was cancelled because of financial reasons or a shift in the target audience. Try doing a search on popular entertainment websites for the accurate information.
