True. It made him make better guesses

The introduction with the librarian, is the PERFECT way to build up creepy tension. The fact that they never let you actually see the Librarian Ghost, and instead show you objects moving and the clerk's reaction, lets your imagination create what the monster looked like, which is always scarier than anything hollywood can make. The eerie quiet, the creepy music, just objects levitating past her at first, and then things going crazy, her panic running at what was chasing her, that's all far scarier than anything else in the movie.

First scene 1:14 that introduces the paranormal - floating books between bookshelves! I saw this back at 1984 at our local cinema, that was so freaky! So simple but effective, no CGI whatsoever

When I first heard Egon Spengler's voice when I heard it sounded strange and when I saw him in the new movie he didn't talk I was glad to hear him voice again in the old Ghostbusters movies

This movie was one of the all time greatest it couldn't have been any funnier

Still great -- even after more than 30 years!

The build up leading to the opening title reminds me of a quote from the late Sir Christoper Lee: "More often what you don't see is far more powerful, frightening and suggestive then what you do see."

01:49. Old guard librarian here. For the uninitiated, those card catalogs in the storage room are the "shelf list" ones. The cards are not ordered alphabetically, but according to the classification system; that catalog represents the existences of books in the shelves in the order they must have, and are used for inventory. That scene is not comical for a librarian, but truly horrifying.

In three successive attempts, the test-taker saw his future card and got electrocuted, then saw her card and got electrocuted, then got his card correct. I think Venkman's theory was correct.
