Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the 2021 sequel in the long-running Ghostbusters franchise, continuing the story decades after the original films and introducing a new generation of ghost hunters in a small Oklahoma town. Its music and sound design deliberately echo the original series while giving the story a more emotional, small-town feel. Short clips from the film have since circulated on soundboards and social video, where creators reuse them as quick shorthand for ghosts, hauntings and nostalgic movie moments.
