When Ghostbusters first came out in 1984 there was a hotline you could call that featured Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd in character saying they were out catching ghosts. The call audio itself survives and was found back in 2020 by the South Atlantic Ghost Busters Facebook page which can be heard here: youtu.be/e27lfTc95uM
However, like a lot of 1-800 numbers back in the day it featured an accompanying TV commercial advertising it. The commercial itself featured the actual commercial footage from the film with Ray, Egon, and Peter outside the firehouse only with the number at the end being replaced with 1-800-654-1984 which you could call.
Unlike the audio the commercial itself seems to be lost oddly, even though the line racked up 1000 calls per hour, 24 hours a day for several weeks. All that can be found online currently is just the commercial ripped from the film. If anyone has this actual hotline commercial can you please share it?
