Who draw Vigo?

I'd assume it's not a regular painting, it's the supernatural "window" Ray mentions that allowed Vigo to "be back."

Maybe you are right.

I always understand it that way: someone just draw Vigo maybe in the 19th Century, and he lives in that painting since it has been drawn. Maybe he kinda lives in all pictures of him. Remember the photos Venkman took of him, and when they suddenly burn in the GB headquarter?

Maybe it´s like in "The picture of Dorian Gray". The picture gets drawn by an artist, and then it ages instead of the real-life Dorian Gray. But it´s a normal picture, it´s not coming out of nowhere or something like that.

Dana says "I've felt uncomfortable ever since it came up from storage.".

That means that Vigo was in the storage all the time ... what did he do there? Looking at the ceiling being lonely?

On the other hand, that line in the first movie about "unnecessary surgery" doesn't really go anywhere either.

In this case I heavily disagree. In the original script Gozer appeared as Ivo Shandor, not that David Bowie lookalike on High Heels. To mention what Shandor did a long time ago is good for the creepy mood, because in both Ghostbusters movies it´s about things from the past. Think of the Titanic, think of the ghost train that derailed in 1920, think of the Scoleri Brothers, etc. etc.

If you look at Danas building, it looks scary enough, especially with that music ... but if you know, who built it, and what he did, and if you know that he and many others were celebrating rituals on the rooftop, it´s MUCH MORE scarier in my opinion.
