Warning! SPOILERS for We Have A Ghost ahead.Netflix’s We Have a Ghost is not the first horror comedy to humanize ghosts, but its institutionalized ghost-hunting provides some disturbing answers about how said system would lead to evil ghostbusters rather than the beloved Ghostbusters protagonists. While plenty of 1980s horror-thriller comedies were centered on a main character accepting a stranger, whether that came in the form of a friendly ghost or a cute alien, 1984’s Ghostbusters was not particularly keen on humanizing its ghosts. Instead, the ghosts tended to provide comic relief, especially considering the chaos they created, their various funny shapes, and their unusual behaviors.
