What to research when critiquing Ghostbusters

A very interesting aspect of the film was how the characters were able to express knowledge of several other histories of paranormal activity. It was a bit Star Trek-like, but also made them seem a bit more intelligent despite being in a pseudo science.
There's no Gozer or ZUUL in Babylonian history.
Yet movie magic happens and you believe it happened no different when the wrong guy invades China in Mulan.
New York is interesting because of its colonial history and Manhattan's Greek free mason architecture, which is a key factor in Stanley Kubrick films, such as the Shining, another film about the paranormal. Not to mention the fact that it is a major trade city.
