Five years after their near destruction of New York City after which they were sued until bankrupt and a restaining order placed on them that prevents them from working as Ghostbusters, Doctors Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), aided by their attorney Louis Tully (Rick Moranis), finally convince a judge to lift the restraining order. Voila! The Ghostbusters are back in business and just in the nick of time as a massive river of "mood slime" is flowing through the abandoned Pneumatic Transit tunnels under Manhattan, and it appears that an ancient Carpathian sorcerer, Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf, (Wilhelm von Homburg) wants to possess Dana Barrett's (Sigourney Weaver) 8-month-old baby Oscar (William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II).

Ghostbusters II is the sequel to Ghostbusters (1984), both of which were written by co-stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Ghostbusters II was subsequently novelized in 1989 by American scifi/mystery writer Ed Naha.

Dana only mentions that Oscar's father left her to play with orchestras in Europe. Fans have speculated that the father is Timothy Carhart's character from the original movie, the violinist that Venkman calls "the stiff".

This isn't made clear in the movie. It may be that, through his father, Oscar is a member of some family or bloodline that makes him a distant relative of Vigo. Or perhaps Dana's experience being possessed in the original film may have somehow made her son ripe for possession himself. Of course, it is actually Janosz who selects Oscar, no doubt due to his feelings for Dana. Vigo simply requests "a child" and it is likely that he would have been just as satisfied with any other baby.

"(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" written by Jackie Wilson. In the movie it is performed by Howard Huntsberry, though the Jackie Wilson original is heard during the dancing toaster scene.
