‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Teaser Reveals Mini-Pufts, a Marshmallow-Sized Version of Stay Puft! [Video]
“Sweet. Mischievous. Savage. Mini-Pufts are out of the bag…”
Summer is quickly approaching and with that comes campfires…and s’mores.
The original Ghostbusters ended with Gozer taking the form of the Godzilla-sized Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, “the most harmless thing” from Ray Stantz’s childhood.
Now, Columbia Pictures is giving Stay Puft the Baby Yoda treatment, turning him into a bag of mischievous “Mini-Pufts” that run amok in this fall’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the sequel to the original classic(s) haunting theaters on November 11, 2021.
We’ve confirmed with the studio that this is actual footage from the Jason Reitman-directed sequel and not just part of a summertime promotion for Baskin Robbins and Hershey’s (Ghostbusters-themed cereal has started to appear on shelves across the country). It’s apparent that us Ghostbusters fans are in for more than a handful of treats leading up to this November’s release.
In the film, “When a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.”
Afterlife‘s cast includes Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Paul Rudd.
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts are all coming back for this sequel to the original classic, reprising their iconic and beloved roles.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
