Paul Feig Looks to The Walking Dead for Ghostbusters Inspiration

The term “apples and oranges” comes to mind when thinking about how “The Walking Dead” and Ghostbusters relate to each other, but for reboot director Paul Feig they absolutely do!
“I will say, I was very inspired by this show” said Feig during his appearance on “The Talking Dead.” “What I love is how they play with the danger, they play with the scariness, but also the idea that it’s always about gauntlet run. And that’s something, an element I want to bring to this Ghostbusters reboot is having to get through these various obstacles that are supernatural and all that. I really feed off of ‘The Walking Dead.'”
