Could The Ghostbusters Utilize A Collections Agency?

By Bob Oliver


To say that I have fun searching for old horror movies would be an understatement. It seems like just about anything is up for grabs, whether they are in the slasher subgenre or those that are more along the lines of comedy. In terms of the latter, you would have to believe that the first "Ghostbusters" more than has my attention. After watching the movie, I have to wonder whether or not a collections agency could work to assist the Ghostbusters.

You may not think that this can work but take into consideration how agencies, in the realm of debt collection, are able to work. They have been utilized in order to help educate people about a number of different subjects, whether it comes to student loans, credit cards, or what have you. That being said, it isn't totally out of the question for a collections agency to come into effect in this fictional world. The Ghostbusters run a business, so being paid for work done is the ultimate goal.

The first instance in which I believed this to be true was in the first case that the Ghostbusters had. The group of three men of science was told to come to the Sedgewick Hotel in order to eliminate a supernatural threat. Once the job was finished - after some difficulty, that is - they told what the hotel owner had to pay and almost did not attain payment. Only when the Ghostbusters threatened to let the ghost out from its containment unit was payment brought to the forefront.

The Ghostbusters, throughout the film, are looked down upon by everyone except the public which is served. They are modern day heroes in New York City but this cannot be said for those who are in power, which is a recurring theme throughout the movie. However, this particular tune seems to change the moment that the supernatural starts to make its presence known in a much greater ways. This, in my opinion, is where the Ghostbusters are more vital to the city than they were given credit for.

Any small business is going to want to focus on the work that is done on a regular basis, which goes without saying. With such an element comes the idea of finances, though, and I'd like to think that a collections agency could come into play in this realm. It's amazing the kinds of things that you think about when you go back and watch movies you haven't seen in a while. The Ghostbusters may be looked at different from when you were a child to your adult life.
