autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>The reasons Garraka is able to escape the orb are relatively convoluted, but it is largely to do with a young ghost named Melody (Emily Alyn Lind), who befriends Phoebe Spengler (McKenna Grace) and tempts her into briefly entering the spirit world and uttering an incantation that awakens the villain.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, during the film it emerges that Nadeem, as well as inheriting the orb from his grandmother, had also inherited some powers: he is now known as the Firemaster and he alone has the ability to neutralise the threat posed by Garraka due to his skill for manipulating fire, which will allow them to capture the ghost in brass.<\/p>\n<p>And so, after the Ghostbusters are unsuccessful in stopping the spirit, with many of them left frozen, Nadeem appears on the scene to work his magic \u2013 only to find that he has run out of lighter fluid.<\/p>\n<p>Step forward Melody, who appears to have a change of heart following her earlier manipulation of Phoebe and provides a matchbook \u2013 which she conveniently always carries around \u2013 to Nadeem so that he can use the fire to defeat Garraka once and for all and ensure the Ghostbusters are successful yet again.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s how we end things, with the mayor reluctantly forced to admit that the Ghostbusters are a force for good in New York.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a post-credits scene in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Yes!<\/strong> There is a very brief mid-credits scene, but it doesn\u2019t really have anything to do with the film\u2019s plot.<\/p>\n<p>Instead it\u2019s a humourous scene which sees a large group of mischievous Mini-Pufts hijack a truck while its driver is filling up at a petrol station.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s;
