Ray and Winston were sent out to a museum. The 'dream sequence' where Ray is seduced by a widowed ghost was actually originally filmed as an actual mission. Egon kept insisting to Ray that they might still be alive in the Bermuda Triangle, until Ray finally punched him. Ray's father, also a doctor, willed him the house not because he felt Ray was more worthy, but that after Peter had come with him to a family dinner once and seduced Ray's sister, he figured Ray was going to need all the help he could get.Īlso in the novelization, Ray's parents were said to have disappeared in a plane flight that vanished without a trace. In the novelization, Ray's relatives were listed as a bisexual sister with a daughter, and a macho brother with two boys in military school. Additionally, he spoke of playing 'Ghosts and Gargoyles' in seminary, which is generally a Christian graduate school in most circumstances. In the Video Game his description of Black Slime implies he believes in the concept of a soul. And even described (with Venkman) to Mayor Lenny that NYC's takeover had Biblical, 'Wrath-of-God' proportions. Dan Aykroyd helped to design the proton pack, trap, and other 'busting tools.'Įven though Ray seemed skeptical about the existence of God, he DID seem to have a working familiarity with Biblical folklore, although his quote from Revelation was off by a chapter. Ray was portrayed by Dan Aykroyd, who is admittedly interested in the paranormal and occult, which may explain why Ray seemed to be the most motivated of the Ghostbusters.'busting heads-in a spiritual sense,' of course. He leads with his heart and exhibits the childlike enthusiasm that keeps the team going. In the commentary on the Ghostbusters DVD, Ray is also described as the 'heart' of the Ghostbusters team.
