Egons deadpan delivery and off the cuff science babble made Ghostbusters. The perfect pairing with Ray's excitable personality, Peter's skeptic one, and Winston's real world view.

I was drawn to your comedy movies without even knowing you had a hand in them, that you either wrote and/or directed and/or acted in them until I looked them up. After reading Violet's book now I am deeply heartbroken sad again, why do bad things happen to super good people. You and Egon are my heroes and will be greatly missed. Wish I could have met you and at least maybe told you that. Thanks for the memories and the laughs, I need to go watch one of your movies now. Thank you for this tribute and video. ;0)

My first thought was, "I'm going to give this a chance...please don't ruin Egon."( I've never watched this channel before).. I've been a Ghostbuster fan since I was a kid. I still research the paranormal to this day because of Egon. That said, this was a beautiful way to describe and honor Harold Ramis and the character Dr. Egon Spengler. That ending where so much thought and care went into just Stay Puft, along with his scenes, man that got me! Thank you Channeling Spirits for doing such a great job on this!

Love Dr. Egon Spengler. He have been my favorite Ghostbuster since childhood both in the movies and in The Real Ghostbusters. At age 3 till about 8 (?) Dr. Peter Venkman was my favorite but afterwards I grew to love Egon and that is still the fav followed by Dr. Ray Stanz. Yeah it was indeed a very sad day back in 2014 when Harold Ramis passed away as it felt like a very old friend had died :,-(. And I loved the love & respect they showed Spengler/Ramis in Afterlife. I'm not afraid to say I for real shed some tears at the cinema in the end. That was so deep and so much love in it that it felt heavily real. He may be gone, but never forgotten and always remembered with heart.

Egon was protecting his daughter and the family from the supernatural. If they knew, the ghosts would discover and use her or any family members as bait to get to Egon. That’s why he couldn’t be a father for Callie. So she was dead wrong about her own father.

This was amazing, and I can't wait to see more of these. There is one thing you forgot. He was good at dancing. It was something he enjoyed. They talked about it also in the GHOSTBUSTERS Year One comics. I believe Peter is the one that brings it up. Plus how they ask Ray if he knows anything about the modern hip hop music, and he reply's that he mostly listened to blues.

Egon's age or rather his birthdate has indeed been hinted at once in the second animated series the "Extreme Ghostbusters" during an episode called "The Sphinx" on December 5th, 1997 One of the new team members, Garret guessed Egon's age to be somewhere in his early to mid 50's. Egon responded to this by telling Garret that he was 39 years old. Now assuming that he already had his birthday that year before the month of December 1997, then canonically that would mean that at least the "animated" version of Egon Spengler was born in 1958.

I do wish they would explore/develop the relationship between Egon and Callie. Why did he abandon her? Was it a conscious decision? Based on the fact that he followed her life, he obviously cared about her. How did Callie's mother feel about the matter? Was he afraid of her getting caught up in or directly harmed by his paranormal work? Did he fear himself an inadequate father because of his own emotional detachment? Was Callie's siring more of a non-emotional agreement between Egon and Callie's mother, similar to Maude and The Dude in "The Big Lebowski"?

The constantly snacking things could be alluding to a deleted scene from the first Ghostbusters where it was confirmed Egon Spengler used Marijuana, typical of the late 1970s. The deleted scene had a Drug Dealer bugging the Ghostbusters trying to sell his product and Egon mistakes what the man was doing and hands him a joint from his jumpsuit before walking off, that is why he's snacking throughout the movie, dude had munchies real bad haha.
