“Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is set in the fictional town of Summerville, Oklahoma, but it was filmed mainly in Alberta, Canada, with a few key shots in New York City.

Here’s the quick scoop:

  • The primary filming locations were in and around Calgary, Alberta, Canada , which doubled for rural Oklahoma.
  • The town of Summerville was built from real small towns including Drumheller, Fort MacLeod, Beiseker, Crossfield, and Dorothy in Alberta.
  • The spooky farmland and Egon Spengler’s farmhouse were constructed on an empty lot in the Calgary area and later removed.
  • Several landscape and action scenes used real Alberta landmarks like Horsethief Canyon near Drumheller , old grain elevators, and rural highways.
  • A handful of New York City shots were used to connect back to the classic Ghostbusters vibe and locations.

If you’re visiting, think of it this way: the heart of “Summerville, Oklahoma” is actually scattered across small-town southern Alberta, with NYC providing the nostalgia link to the original films.
