Saga Ghostbusters
Movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife Jason Reitman (2020)
Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and her friend Podcast (Logan Kim) go to the abandoned Summerville factory to practice with the proton pack Phoebe found in her grandfather's house. They are amazed to discover the power of this weapon designed for hunting ghosts.

That firmness in the eyes, the feet planted on the ground. Is it time for him to die? The suspense is at its peak!

Podcast (Logan Kim)

The fictional town of Summerville, supposedly located in the state of Oklahoma, is actually a clever combination of several Canadian towns in the Alberta region. While the streets of Fort MacLeod were used extensively, as well as a few locations in Beiseker, director Jason Reitman exploited the desolate landscape of the former Turner Valley Gas Plant, also in Alberta.

With rusty pipes running for hundreds of feet and tall industrial buildings, this site lends itself beautifully to the scene during which Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and Podcast (Logan Kim) try out Egon Spengler’s proton pack. The teams in charge of the decorations did not have to make any changes, except for a few adjustments to hide the panels and other details betraying the fact that today the place is a museum dedicated to the history of the region. A particularly important scene in the film is the fitting of the ghost hunter’s weapon in one of the buildings where the two children come face to face with the new version of the mythical All-Gobbler, the green specter adept at gargantuan meals. On screen, the labyrinthine corridors of this rusted-out factory provide a perfect setting, as disturbing as possible and thus powerfully cinematic. This is also where the new Ghostbusters manage to capture their first spirit! It’s only a short step to believing that the Turner Valley Gas Plant is actually home to some real ghosts.

Turner Valley Gas Plant

A former industrial site transformed into an open-air museum, the Turner Valley Gas Plant tells part of Alberta’s history.

The first commercial oil field in Western Canada, the plant now includes several historic buildings and an exhibit hall. The Turner Valley Gas Plant began as a small operation and was later purchased by a large multinational company.

Operating for over seventy years, it played a key role in the energy strategy of Alberta and Canada as a whole. Although the site has since become overgrown and rusty, it has never ceased to embody a part of the country’s history for the people of the region.
