Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the first ghost the girls encounter?

Answer: Gertrude Aldridge

The tour guide tells them about how Gertrude killed the servants and was locked in the basement to spare the family public humiliation. Her father once said, "I know God makes no mistakes, but I believe he may have been drunk when he built Gertrude's personality."
2. What is the name of the Ghostbuster who worked for Columbia University?

Answer: Erin Gilbert

Dr. Erin Gilbert was a professor at Columbia University until she was fired for a video Abby posted of her screaming about ghosts being real. When she was a little girl she saw a ghost and it sparked her interest in the paranormal. Erin Gilbert is played by Kristen Wiig.
3. Which Ghostbuster co-wrote the book "Ghosts from Our Past: Both Literally and Figuratively: The Study of the Paranormal" with Erin?

Answer: Abby Yates

Abby Yates worked at the Kenneth T. Higgins Institute of Science. She has a love of Chinese food and soup. She often gets annoyed with the delivery boy Benny who is always late and often messes up her soup-to-wonton ratio. Abby Yates is played by Melissa McCarthy.
4. Which Ghostbuster builds all of their ghostbusting equipment?

Answer: Jillian Holtzmann

Holtzmann is the engineer of the group and is often the one driving Ecto-1. She worked with Abby at the Kenneth T. Higgins Institute of Science until they were fired. Holtzmann is rarely called by her first name and often goes by Holtz or Holtzy. Jillian Holtzmann is played by Kate McKinnon.
5. Which Ghostbuster worked for the MTA?

Answer: Patty Tolan

Patty Tolan meets the Ghostbusters after she sees a ghost on the subway tracks. She has a love of New York history and often says interesting facts about the places they go. Patty is also the first Ghostbuster to meet Rowan. Patty Tolan is played by Leslie Jones.
6. Kevin Beckman is the only applicant for the receptionist job.

Answer: True

Kevin is not very good at answering the phone or taking messages. He often gets confused about names and at one point refers to a ghost as a 'goat'. People often make comments about how gorgeous he is. Kevin Beckman is played by Chris Hemsworth.
7. Which actor from the original "Ghostbusters" does not make a cameo in this movie?

Answer: Rick Moranis

Rick Moranis does not appear in this movie but Abby is first introduced wearing a helmet similar to one he wore in the original movie. Bill Murray plays a skeptic who gets thrown out the window by a ghost. Dan Aykroyd plays a cab driver who "ain't afraid of no ghost". Sigourney Weaver appears as Holtzmann's mentor. Ernie Hudson shows up as Patty's uncle who owns a funeral home. Annie Potts appears at the hotel Rowan works at and greets the Ghostbusters with her usual "What do ya want?" Harold Ramis died prior to the creation of this movie but a bust of his head appears outside of Erin's office at Columbia.
8. What is the name of the man who is trying to break the barriers to set the ghosts free?

Answer: Rowan

Rowan North keeps planting devices around the city to charge the Ley lines so that the ghosts can take over the city. He often talks to himself and repeats his plan of "charge the lines, create the vortex, break the barriers". Rowan is played by Neil Casey.
9. What form does Rowan take to destroy the Ghostbusters?

Answer: The ghost from their logo

Holtzmann suggests that he become something stationary. Patty suggests something small, friendly, and cute. Rowan turns into the ghost from their logo and quickly grows bigger than the building, going against Patty's request for something small and friendly.
10. During the scene at the end of the movie what does Patty hear captured on a EVP causing her to ask "What's ______?" Complete the quote.

Answer: Zuul

All the Ghostbusters looked confused about it as well. It is unclear if this reference is just a nod to the original movie or perhaps a hint at who might make an appearance in a sequel.
