The Shandor Building is an apartment building in New York City constructed as a super-conductive antenna and portal to our realm, by the Cult of Gozer to bring forth their master, Gozer himself in his Destructor Form. The building is also known as 55 Central Park West and Dana Barrett's apartment building.Ghostbusters
In 1984, in anticipation of Gozer's arrival, two Terror Dogs broke out of a pair of Gothic statues placed on the roof and proceeded to inhabit Dana Barrett and Louis Tully, two tenants on the 22nd floor of the apartment building.
Following the possession, the two, now under the identities of Zuul, The Gatekeeper and Vinz Clortho, The Keymaster, met in Dana's apartment following the explosion at the Ghostbusters Firehouse. Dana and Louis (under the control of Zuul and Vinz Clortho) made out passionately and walked toward the building roof to the Temple of Gozer, where they mated and opened the portal for Gozer to enter our realm. Aftwewards the two transformed into the Terror Dog monsters, who took their places beside Gozer, in a mythic female form, as she appeared and confronted the Ghostbusters.
Gozer electrocuted the Ghostbusters before they fired back at her causing her to vanish and later assume a new Destructor Form: the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, after being inadvertently chosen by Ray. Finally, the Ghostbusters reversed the particle flow through Gozer's gateway and caused the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Tunguska blast of 1909. During the blast the Terror Dogs were charred and returned to their statue forms, temporarily trapping Dana and Louis, in human form, inside of them before the Ghostbusters rescued them.
Dana's Apartment
Dana lived in room number 2206 on the 22nd floor. One day, after returning to her place, Dana witnessed several eggs jump off a carton and fry atop her kitchen counter. She also caught a glimpse of the Temple of Gozer and Zuul inside her refrigerator. She left completely frightened and sought the Ghostbusters for help. Peter investigated with the apartment with a Ghost Sniffer but detected nothing.
On the night she had arranged a date with Dr. Peter Venkman to discuss the details of her case, Dana was attacked inside her apartment by Zuul. This time, however, Dana was unable to escape and was possessed and inhabited by the Terror Dog. Peter later arrived at her place to encounter the possessed Dana and discover that she now called herself Zuul, The Gatekeeper and was now seeking The Keymaster. She spoke of the coming of Gozer and led him to her bedroom, attempting to seduce him under the false impression that he was The Keymaster. Peter rebuffed her advances and an angry Dana spoke in a demonic voice before levitating off her bed, growling and snarling monstrously in frustration. Dana was then sedated by Peter, lying unconscious on her bed while Peter headed back to the Firehouse and finally waking up when the storage grid exploded setting all the captured ghosts free.
With full view from her bay windows, the possessed Dana watched with a contented evil grin as the ghosts and supernatural energy filled the skyline; blowing up her windows with a powerful roar as the energy approached her building leaving a path for The Keymaster to find her. After the explosion Dana awaited the successful arrival of The Keymaster, embracing in a passionate kiss before she led him to Gozer's Temple atop the rooftop of her building where they completed the ritual to open the gates for the coming of Gozer. A hidden stairwell was taken by the pair to directly access the roof. The Ghostbusters later accessed this stairwell when they arrived to save the world.
Louis' Apartment
Louis Tully lived in room number 2202 on the 22nd floor across the hall and two doors down from Dana. For some reason, the door to his apartment kept locking on him. Soon after Dana was possessed by Zuul, Louis was attacked by Vinz Clortho during a party he held to celebrate his fourth anniversary as an accountant. Louis fled his apartment with the Terror Dog in hot pursuit. The police conducted a brief investigation of Louis' apartment later that night around 9 pm.
