Leslie Jones Is Definitely Afraid of Ghosts as This Exclusive 'Ghostbusters' Clip Proves

Despite the misguided backlash and underperforming box office, Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters was not the debacle some would have you believe. The film delivered plenty of laughs and should enjoy a deserved second life now that that it’s coming to digital, DVD, and Blu-ray. Heck, Ghostbusters 2 was a legitimate horror show, and that film has endured beyond its initial disappointment.

One of the joys of the new Ghostbusters was Twitter legend Leslie Jones as the tightly wound New York transit worker who joins the team. In the above clip from the home edition’s bonus features, we discover that Jones herself not only fears ghosts, she fears fake ghosts, including the possessed mannequin the team encounters. “I was running for real. I think I pushed the cameraman out of the way for real,” Jones recounts with a chuckle. “I was like, ‘Get out of the way, Dave!‘”
