Their goal: possess a mortal male and female, perform a sexual rite combining their powers and open a gateway to allow The Destructor entry into a given world. After opening the portal, they take their places as guardians of Gozer's cosmic pyramid.

Firehouse , Hook & Ladder Company 8 is a New York City Fire Department (FDNY) fire station , located at 14 North Moore Street at its intersection with Varick Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan , New York City . Its exterior has become famous as the base of the Ghostbusters in the supernatural comedy film franchise of the same name.

While the firehouse served as the set for exterior scenes, the interior of the Ghostbusters base was shot in a Los Angeles studio, and in Fire Station No. 23 , a decommissioned Los Angeles firehouse. In the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters, the firehouse makes two appearances. The firehouse has also appeared in the 2005 film Hitch and in e...
