Full SPOILERS ahead for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Much of the third act of Ghostbusters: Afterlife has not been seen in any of the trailers or other marketing materials, a move that has preserved the surprises the finale has in store. Like the recent Star Wars trilogy, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is one giant Easter Egg-laden nostalgia trip, and its third act is where all of those callbacks come to a head.
While the final act settles the past, the film’s post-credits scene hints at the future of the Ghostbusters franchise. Let’s break down — or should we say bust? — the ending of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and its two after-credits scenes.
Yes, it does. Two in fact. A mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene, both of which involve the original Ghostbusters cast.
The mid-credits scene of Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a riff on the original film’s ESP test scene. After the cast credits list a special appearance by Sigourney Weaver, the film cuts to Peter Venkman and Dana Barrett at home. She’s wearing a wedding ring so the assumption can be made they got married sometime after Ghostbusters II.
Dana tests Peter’s ESP ability with the same cards he once used to test his students at Columbia University. And like the unlucky male student in the ‘84 film, Peter is shocked by an electrode when he guesses the wrong ESP symbol on the card. But by the end, Dana keeps shocking Peter until she gets him to admit the cards were marked and he only ever shocked the male students and not the female ones.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s post-credits scene sets up another sequel -- one not set in Summerville, Oklahoma but back in the franchise’s home base of New York City. There is a brief vintage scene of Egon (the late Harold Ramis) and Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts) where she gives him her lucky coin from the 1964 World's Fair at Flushing Meadow. This is actually a deleted scene from the original film.
It cuts from Janine handing Egon her lucky coin to her, in the present, looking at it. She’s in the office building of Winston Zeddemore, who has transformed himself in his post-ghostbusting years into a billionaire businessman. The man who began as the blue-collar Ghostbuster is now a one-percenter. Winston explains to Janine that his time with the Ghostbusters convinced him he had the tools and the talent to better himself. Not only did Winston pay many of Egon’s bills but he also didn’t turn the old firehouse headquarters into a Starbucks as Ray said it was. Winston says no matter what he’s achieved since he will always be a Ghostbuster.
We then see Winston arrive at the old Ghostbusters headquarters as the Ecfo-1 finally comes home. (Winston said during the third act that he would take care of the battered, old vehicle.) Winston runs his hand down the car and then walks further into the dilapidated building. The final shot of the movie reveals the Containment Unit in the basement of the firehouse blinking red, an ominous sign that all the psycho-kinetic energy held within it is ready to burst out.
