Kinder and Cleaner: The movie it was based on had a few swear words (notably "piss", "ass", "shit", and "dick"). This book, due to being a kids' book, has no swearing at all. |

comment |
Adaptational Job Change: In the movie, Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston are professional ghost hunters, Dana is a professional musician, Janine is a secretary, Louis is an accountant, and Walter is an inspector. In the book, they’re all elementary school students and their canon jobs are just hobbies. |

comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Since the main characters are kids, several things are changed: Zuul trying to seduce Peter is (thankfully) left out. The Ghostbusters being arrested is left out, since the closest thing to that with a kid is being sent to juvie, which they clearly didn’t deserve. |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication |
| | Ghostbusters: A Paranormal Picture Book / int_794f3589 |
comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the movie, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man appears because a demon named Gozer wanted the world destroyed and asked the Ghostbusters to choose the form of the destroyer, then Ray accidentally imagined an advertising mascot from his childhood. In the book, he just appears out of nowhere. The book keeps Egon’s line “Don’t cross the streams�, and notes that “apparently, it would be bad�, but doesn’t explain further. The movie explains that “crossing the streams� is when the streams from the proton packs cross paths, and the reason it’s “bad� is because it might cause the end of known life. |

comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: While Peter still teases Walter about not saying the “magic word�, the book leaves out his Con Man antics. While Walter smirks when the protagonists get suspended and rats them out to the principal, he doesn’t actively antagonise them the way he does in the movie, and at the end, he joins in on cheering for them. Egon was never a jerk to begin with, but the book leaves out the part where he shoves Walter. |

Adaptational Wimp: While the main characters still attack ghosts and defeat the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, in the movie, this prevented an entire apocalypse, whereas no such thing is implied in the book. |
