It is likely that after the events of ''Ghostbusters II'', the Ghostbusters team separated after having defeated Vigo, each member would have taken a different path except Ray who decided to continue with the Ghostbusters business, but apparently the business The Ghostbusters has not gone quite well. in 1995, a bored Ray agreed to make house calls to continue the Ghostbusters business like Whipstaff Manor, since Maine is only a day's drive from New York. He probably thought it would be easy, explaining why he was alone. Clearly, The Ghostly Trio was too much for Ray to handle alone, and he was probably too embarrassed to admit his failure to his old team. [[GhastlyGhost ​It's not like the ghostly trio are killing people or doing something actively malevolent]].

[[WMG: Either in this film, or a followup to this one, the Ecto-1 will get a new color paint job.]]

Though the white on the Cadillac is iconic, by the end of the film, or maybe in a followup, the Ecto-1 will get a new paint job, and the color will be black (tying into the original intended color in the script for the vehicle before the production chose to make it white to make it more noticeable during the night scenes).

[[WMG: The 2009 video game is part of canon backstory for Afterlife.]]
VideoGame/GhostbustersTheVideoGame is set in 1991, only about two years after the second actual movie, so "There hasn't been a ghost sighting in thirty years" is still relatively accurate - possibly moreso than it would have been, thanks to the film's delayed release. In addition, the game actually depicts the [[spoiler:closure of the New York rift which the Gozer cult instigated]], which helps explain the cessation of paranormal activity. And last but (probably) not least, [[SpoiledByTheMerchandise the Ghostbusters Afterlife tie-in replica of Spengler's Neutrona Wand]] includes firing modes directly based on the video game.

For some reason, Egon confided in Janine the fact that he has a daughter and why he is not present in her life. As a result, although she still liked him, Janine was no longer romantically interested in Egon; because she couldn't start a family with him.
