In the beginning we see Egons final moments as he tries to capture Vinz or Zuul, after having caught the other. I'm unsure which was which. After his attempt in the dirt field fails he goes inside, hides the other trapped terror dog, and sits down. Here's where I'm thinking I may have misunderstood what happens. He pulls out his pke with the new stun gun feature. I feel like Egon would know that it'd likely not do much to a Terror Dog even if it's just a ghostly manifestation. My thought is what if he didn't intend to use it on the dog, but on himself? We learn that Egon died of a heart attack. He was old and the town assumed him crazy so I doubt any extensive autopsy was done. What if it wasn't a heart attack, but a cardiac arrest? Egon realizing that he can't stop the terror dog entity doesn't want to risk getting possessed, releasing the other one from the trap, and for sure causing Gozer to be summoned back to our reality. Instead of letting that happen he forces himself into a cardiac arrest with the stun pke so that he dies which makes the terror dog leave angrily back to the temple.
If that's what happened instead of the terror dog somehow killing him or scaring him to death, the intro is even more impactful since he was willing to kill himself to protect everyone.
