The first test screening was only three weeks after shooting was completed. Many of the special effects weren't complete, but the ghost in the opening scene was. Reitman remembers when the film was screened for 200 people at Columbia Studios, they screamed and laughed at the same time. Reitman knew then they had successfully achieved the tone they were going for. Also at this screening, when Dana Barrett opens her refrigerator revealing the terror dog, only a title card saying "SCENE MISSING" was shown. The audience freaked out. Reitman jokes they should have left the crappy effects shot out and kept the "SCENE MISSING" card.
