Ghostbusters II
ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT

An Electronic Press Kit (EPK for short) is a video reel sent to various media outlets (like TV News programs) for them to use to help promote a film. It usually contains a trailer, film clips, making of featurette, cast and crew interviews, behind the scenes footage, and other such stuff. Columbia Pictures produced a Ghostbusters II EPK videocassette. This page will document the contents of the Ghostbusters II EPK. All runtimes listed are the times stated in the EPK itself. I have tried to include every bit of text from the blue title screens as written in the EPK. This includes the "Ch." notations which indicate what is playing on the left and right audio channels (named 1 & 2 in the kit) in the original video. By the way, the Pay Per View trailer at the end is a hidden extra as it isn't listed in the Table of Contents.

Segments 3 through 9 can be found on the Ghostbusters 1&2 4K UHD & Blu-Ray 2019 5-Disc Set, which can be purchased from my Store page. This official release only contains the joint stereo audio track, and not the separate tracks of the original VHS. The entire multi-audio Ghostbusters II Electronic Press Kit can be downloaded here [VIP Exclusive] as part of a fan-distributed copy (sourced from a press VHS) which turned the distinct audio from the left and right channels into three proper stereo audio tracks: 1. Complete Audio, 2. Narrator Only, and 3. Production Audio Only. The only major issue with that copy of the EPK is that it has a digital glitch about a minute into the featurette (a result of the original digital transfer that somebody did some time ago).

In the Videos section below, the fan copy was used for the first three parts and the PPV Trailer. The Blu-ray copy was used for the rest, though the Featurette title screen was taken from the fan copy and added to the head of the Blu-ray copy. The Blu-ray copy was used for all images in the Images section.
