In one draft of Ghostbusters 3 written by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, Venkman was already dead by the end of the first act and a younger team of Ghostbusters took over from the original squad.
Meanwhile, in a second draft written by Etan Cohen, he was killed off but became a ghost before the ending. Elements of both of these drafts could resurface in Ghostbusters: Afterlife if the theory outlined above turns out to be true as Egon may not only become a ghost, but also be instrumental in leading a new generation of Ghostbusters into taking up the mantle that he, Venkman, Ray, Winston, and Ray vacated years earlier.
Cathal Gunning has been writing about movies and TV online since His obsessions include The Simpsons, Stephen King, the Scream series, and the horror genre in general. He has spent more time thinking about Stranger Things than the writers of Stranger Things, and he has never seen a Star War.
By Cathal Gunning Published Jul 28, He speculated a small dimensional nexus formed inside the unit and led to occasional transference to other dimensions. He agreed to accept the other Ghostbusters' help in identifying which god attacked them. Egon agreed Proteus was the culprit that attacked them based on its hatred of being captured. As the Ghostbusters prepared their technology for the inevitable battle, Egon had to ask his counterpart why he developed the Proton Grenade.
Egon simply felt the need for them. The Egons armed their Proton Grenades and tossed them at Proteus, effectively stunning him. The Ghostbusters caught him in their streams but as a result Proteus had to show them the future eight times. The Ghostbusters were knocked out.
Proteus transported his targets to Limbo. As Peter regained consciousness, he chalked up the whole thing to a crazy dream. Egon dashed his hopes and pointed out they were imprisoned. He opened the floor to any suggestions on a method of escape. They realized Janine and Slimer found them. After she freed them, Egon advised everyone to leave the building before Proteus' beams destroyed the Erie. Back at the Firehouse, Egon thanked Janine for her act of bravery in coming to rescue them.
Kylie Griffin came up with an idea to enlist another Egon to read Egon's logbook since it seemed like he forgot to write several things here and there.
Peter, Winston, and Janine used the Interspatial Teleportation Unit to go to the dimension of the Ghostbusters they recently met. Egon agreed to go back with them after a Squisher ghost was captured in Central Park. They returned to their basement to see a Granny Gross ghost. Peter and Winston quickly trapped it. Egon noted it looked familiar. Janine took him upstairs in a hurry to read his counterpart's research and told him to stop scanning everything.
After reading the logbook and hearing about the recent encounters overseas, Egon concurred they were being manipulated into finding the Rauoskinna. She gave them a list of possible locations for a key and map to the Rauoskinna and passed along their demands, the book for the restoration of their Egon. Ray, Kylie, and parallel Egon went over the list.
On the flight to Chiloe Island , Egon familiarized himself with the local lore and read several texts, including Tobin's Spirit Guide. He calculated they would find an artifact near the village of Quicavi and assumed they would encounter a warlock known as the Brujo.
Just in case they found anything corporeal, he and Ray packed some modified Proton Packs. Egon wore his pack outfitted with the Destabilizer. Using his Ecto Goggles, he confirmed the presence of an Imbunche in the cave they were searching. Egon made sure it was clear he was right then fired the Destabilizer on the Imbunche twice. It fell on Peter. Before Egon could collect a sample of the sputum, the Brujo appeared.
Ray came up with a plan on the fly and asked Special Agent Melanie Ortiz to rile it up. Melanie threatened the Brujo and told it Egon was going to eat its soul. The Brujo became enraged and choked him. With the Brujo distracted, Ray salted it. As it recoiled in fear, they trapped it. Egon recalled Brujo were forbidden to eat salt. Ray realized he was right then went and found the key to Gottskalk Nikulausson 's tomb. The Ghostbusters proceeded to Iceland and found Gottskalk Nikulausson 's secret tomb about 50 miles from Holar.
Gottskalk's ghost and many Ghost Priests refused to turn the Rauoskinna to them. Egon took the moment to clarify what they hoped to accomplish with the book. Peter replied it would simply serve as leverage against Loftur. Since they couldn't risk shooting the book with their throwers, Winston suggested to Egon he should use his Destabilizer. Egon was concerned there was a strong change the energy signature would ignite the paper unless the power was reduced. Winston grabbed it but was attacked by the priests as Gottskalk shot at the others.
Winston opened his Trap and captured every ghost present, alarming Ray. Egon didn't understand why he was so concerned. Their version of the Trap wasn't equipped to hold that much psychokinetic energy. After Peter untethered the book from Gottskalk, Egon opted to further disrupt him further with a Proton Grenade.
Over the next day and a half, Egon decided to take advantage of the downtime to look over the city's P. He was amazed the instrument on the roof was only set to register up to Class 7 entities. Winston came up to the roof to get some air. Winston confided in Egon and admitted he thought the last couple of years were crazy because of the escalation of dangers they encountered. It reminded Winston of his old commanding officer. Egon went on to share his interest in their respective team's first battle with Gozer and if it created a splintered multiverse.
Winston wasn't sure anymore if he was trying to make him feel better or give him a migraine. Egon reminded him they led a more extraordinary life than most and that came with extraordinary ups and downs. Winston thanked him for the talk but Egon was oblivious.
Peter alluded to Winston's religious faith protecting him. As they deliberated on what to do next, Egon suggested they make some distance from Loftur as Hell's Demons approached them. They made short work of Loftur. Egon didn't think they were in Hell and speculated they were in some form of pocket dimension. The Devil verified they were really in Hell. The Devil decided to let them leave but wouldn't tell them how without a contract.
Kylie Griffin relied on lore and proposed they follow the River Styx to its endpoint then enter an ice cavern where they would climb down a giant representation of the Devil. Egon started to regret leaving his dimension to help out. Aibell sensed the Rauoskinna and teleported them to her lair, Craig Liath.
Janine was resistant to the idea of turning over the book to her. Egon reminded everyone they had sufficient raw power to fight her. Aibell wasn't interested and restored their Egon to life as a token of good faith. Jenny was too concerned with the book and destroyed it but it cost her her life.
Aibell angrily teleported everyone back to Central Park. They watched as Jenny manifested as a ghost. Shortly after, Egon returned to his home dimension. During some off time, Peter spoke to Egon in the third floor lab. He became tired of Slimer eating his good cheese. Egon was the actual culprit but he went along with Peter's accusation. Peter, however, smelled Gruyere on Egon's breath and was insulted.
Jillian Holtzmann 's head popped out of a portal behind Egon. Holtzmann noticed his hair style and told him to lose the rat-tail. Egon was naturally confused. It seemed to continuously cry ectoplasm tears from its four eyes.
It held Peter upside down. He declared baby ghosts were the worst. Winston thought he said animal ghosts were then recalled it was pirate ghosts then witch ghosts. Egon reminded him of the ghost of Peter's high school principal. Peter got tossed. Peter clarified he didn't like ghosts. The Proton Packs malfunctioned when they tried to fire them. Egon concluded the ectoplasm got into the LaMarche Boards so the pack couldn't discharge properly. The ghost slammed its fists on the ground.
Before they could regroup, another company named Spooks Away arrived and captured the ghost. They stole all their jobs that week. Saul Pendleton, leader of Spooks Away, even tried to recruit Ray but was embarrassed and slimed.
Saul got revenge and kidnapped Slimer. Ray was "volunteered" to infiltrate the company. Saul eventually showed him where they stored the captured entities, the Prediction Engine. After the Hellspawner was added, a new glimpse into the future was generated on the screen. Ray realized that was how Spooks Away was poaching their jobs before they could show up. Egon consulted Who's Who in the Spirit World and found out Saul came from a long line of necromancers who used ghosts to predict future events.
Peter deduced the Prediction Engine was built to perfect the process. To Ray's surprise, the engine was also used to spy on Egon in the future and steal his designs. Egon noted necromancy was incredibly dangerous and asked Ray if he could disrupt the machine. Ray slipped a doughnut in it. The control matrix was gummed up and the engine went critical.
The entities were combined into one Mega-Entity. Egon informed the others it was a Class 99 and their equipment barely made a scratch on it. He keyed in on trying to break it up. Peter got an idea and lured Slimer out with jelly doughnuts. All the other entities broke free after him. After a spectral drought, the Ghostbusters of Dimension E disbanded. Egon E taught a college course for several years. He assembled a new team made up of his students, an unconventional group of individuals, and they became known as the Extreme Ghostbusters.
On the third week of the course, Egon taught Kylie, Garrett, Eduardo, and Roland about the mental plane - specifically telling them how any and everything was possible there.
Egon prime succumbed to hay fever and sneezed while he opened a portal to Dimension R and instead opened a portal a few degrees off the proper vibrational frequency. They agreed to collaborate on a paper about the science of pure luck as a result.
The Ghostbusters realized E was an alternate future to R. Egon E even shared many but not all of the same memories and experiences of his R counterpart. They saw it as a fascinating opportunity to study the potential of timeline divergence more directly. It was decided it would be for the best if they didn't introduce the two to each other.
Janine wondered if there was a butterfly exhibit. Egon noticed the zoo was so clean, there wasn't any interesting mold around. Janine recalled she once read you could learn a lot by the listening to the world around you.
She asked him if that was true. Egon answered he came to the scientific conclusion the animals in the zoo are patently mundane and revolting. Blue macaws and a bat started talking to. One macaw propositioned a woman, the other demanded chicken, and a monkey demanded to be let out. Egon grabbed a zookeeper and told them to shut down the zoo.
Egon dialed the Firehouse to call in the Extreme Ghostbusters. Garrett thought it was a case of reincarnation. Egon denied that was it. A third instalment had been in development for several years. Ramis acknowledged that the spectral comedy was his most memorable work but took pride in its longevity. Teachers loved it. Ramis also inspired a new generation of film-makers, including Judd Apatow, who cast the director in his comedy Knocked Up.
He is survived by his wife, Erica, sons Julian and Daniel, daughter Violet and two grandchildren. Ghostbusters 3 'in development'. Stars back for Ghostbusters game. This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! Egon Spengler : There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Peter Venkman : What? Egon Spengler : Don't cross the streams. Peter Venkman : Why? Egon Spengler : It would be bad. What do you mean, "bad"? Egon Spengler : Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Raymond Stantz : Total protonic reversal.

Peter Venkman : Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. Gozer : The Choice is made! Peter Venkman : Whoa! Gozer : The Traveller has come! Peter Venkman : Nobody choosed anything! Peter Venkman : Did you choose anything? Egon Spengler : No. Winston Zeddemore : My mind is totally blank.
