Johnson also sculpted the Zombie Cab Driver puppet. The Zombie Cab Driver was the only puppet shot on location in New York City. Johnson based it on a reanimated corpse puppet he had made for "An American Werewolf in London" (1981). Johnson and Wilson collaborated on the Library Ghost, creating a puppet operated by tens of cables running through the torso that controlled aspects such as moving the head, arms, and pulling rubber skin away from the torso to transform it from a humanoid into a monstrous ghoul. The original Library Ghost puppet was considered too scary for younger audiences and was repurposed for use in "Fright Night" (1985). The Library catalog scene was accomplished live in three takes, with the crew blowing air through copper pipes to blow the cards into the air. These had to be collected and reassembled for each take. Reitman used a multi-camera setup to focus on the librarian and the cards flying around her and a wider overall shot. The floating books were simply hung on strings.
