Im shocked there was no Ghostbusters in this. Like, why is dracula there? He isn't in the hollywood event.

Yah. Really odd that there wasn't even a mention. I understand they might not have been able to get likeness rights passed, but really?

There's a Ghostbusters version too. I saw it on a promoted tweet from HHN orlando. When the woman is in the kitchen slime explodes from the microwave, and when she goes back into the living room Slimer is eating the popcorn

Odd that that isn't in the official trailer?

It's the director's cut. JK. I'm not sure why it's like that.

I too am shocked by no outright huge Ghostbusters reference, but I think the guy in the black glasses and some sort of creature getting him is a Louis Tully reference.

Link please?

Link please?

Can't find it. Was a promoted tweet

There's always weird restrictions rights holders impose on these sorts of things (for years Marvel required a certain amount of space for their characters on all advertising for IoA). Taking a guess there's something similar for Ghostbusters (such as must be its own ad, cannot be seen with other characters, etc).

I find it to be very weak, not a fan of this year’s commercial.

 

[Brian G.]

Very strange that the Orlando HHN account has been quiet with the commercial.

Just like how Ghostbusters won’t be on the house shirt. Ghostbusters is a brand that doesn’t like to be associated with other competing brands.

It’s a great shirt aside from that and that Us is oddly the focal point.

 

[snayberry]

At least I can get a Ghostbuster's lanyard.

 

[Legacy]

That commercial is a thing...

 

[rageofthegods]

Sure is pretty tho. I'll give it that.

 

[Clive]

That commercial is a thing...

The pacing and acting... not to mention... lack of anything remotely creepy? Woof.
