in which the ghosts
take over the subway...
:15:03
and use it to move
to uptown New York City.

The taxi driver was originally
a dead biker from a scene that got cut.
:15:12
Rather than lose the chilling effect,
he was turned into a cabbie.

No New York street scene
is complete without a hot dog cart.

To achieve
this upcoming explosion...
:15:53

as it would look after the explosion.
:15:56
