Ghostbusters: Afterlife has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "supernatural action and suggestive material." The rating should come as no surprise for fans of the previous installments. With that being said, the iconic 1984 original was only rated PG for its "language, innuendo and potentially scary scenes." When looking back, if Ghostbusters were released today, it would likely come with a PG-13 rating for the Library Ghost scene alone, which Steven Spielberg can attest to.

Jason Reitman recently revealed that Steven Spielberg has included the Library Ghost scene from Ghostbusters as one of his top ten scares of all time, which a lot of other horror fans have done over the years too. As for whether or not Ghostbusters: Afterlife will have anything that comes even remotely close to the Library Ghost is unclear at this time. However, Reitman was able to convince members of the original cast to take part in the long-awaited sequel. Dan Aykroyd will return as Ray, Bill Murray as Peter, Sigourney Weaver as Dana, Ernie Hudson as Winston, and Annie Potts as Janine. Newcomers to the franchise include, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd .

Jason Reitman also revealed that the sequel received the seal of approval from his father, Ivan Reitman, who directed the iconic original. Jason Reitman says that his father cried after the credits rolled for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which should be promising for fans who have been waiting so long to see the sequel.
