I just thought GB was very bland with extremely minimal scares - they had to have to Ghostbusters themselves come out from a boo hole to get any startles. I thought the still scene of them corralling slimmer looked really generic. They tried to introduce ghosts that weren't even in the movie because they didn't have enough material. The Gozer scene on the alter was okay looking but nothing special. And the Stay Puft scene was super quick and bland. The only parts I liked were the initial walk through the library, the office with Janine, and some of the Terror Dogs popping out. I thought HHN 29 overall was a really good year, but GB was continually the worst house imo (and the groups I went with all had it in their lower half).
I agree to limiting the family/comedy houses. While Beetlejuice could be classified as such, I think there is A LOT more material for them to draw from to make it scarier than people are thinking. I know there were complaints about HHN 29 being too "light" and not hardcore enough, but not sure I agree with that as Corpses, Nightingales, Graveyard, UM, and Depths all had some pretty intense moments imo. Regardless, I think Uni will make this year a little darker and intense overall.
