30th Anniversary Ghostbusters: Statues

Statues are significant because that is the four legged like beings the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper turn into when they meet.
However, they are also prominently featured throughout the film thanks to the cinematography of the famed Laszlo Kovacs, a cinematographer from the American New Hollywood.
The statues in the initial shot of the library.
The statues of the second shot outside Venkman's workplace.
As well as one in Central Park, oddly enough right before Louis Tully is attacked by Vinz.
They could also be representing inanimate objects resembling animate objects, such as ghosts.
