Angry Video Game Nerd Ghostbusters Location Tour (TRAILER)

Friday, February 12th, 2010

James D. Rolfe, also known as The Angry Video Game Nerd, is one of the biggest admirers of the Ghostbusters franchised as witnessed in his epic three part review of the Ghostbusters video games of the past, not to mention his impassioned petition for Ghostbusters 3.

James has become a very important voice in the Ghostbusters community and he is putting together a Ghostbusters Location Tour which looks amazing.  Keep updated and view the trailer at Cinemassacre.com.

Thanks to Topher for the heads up.

Who Ya Gonna Call This Halloween? Ghostbusters!

Monday, October 5th, 2009

After trapping Slimer in Ghostbusters: The Video Game and witnessing Bill Murray’s excellent cameo in Zombieland, there is only one true Halloween costume option this year.  Lucky for you, and much like Peter Venkman’s multi-tired laundry system, there are a good number of options available for aspiring Ghostbusters this Halloween.

Super Casual: Ghostbusters “ROOKIE” Uniform Tee ($15)
Ghostbusters Halloween Costume Shirt

This tee is available online @ Hot Topic for $15.  It is similar to the glow-in-the-dark Venkman uniform tee, which is also available.  Take note, the Venkman tee glows in the dark, but it doesn’t have the proton pack printed on the back.

Casual: Ghostbusters Uniform w/ Inflatable Proton Pack ($25 - $40)
Ghostbusters Halloween Costume w/ Inflatable Proton Pack

The Ghostbusters costume with inflatable proton pack is the perfect option for fans who are willing to kick it up a notch and cross the streams.  Available in kids and adult sizes, you can find this costume in most retail stores including Target and Walmart.

DIY / Hardcore Fan: Ghostbusters Flightsuit /w “real” Proton Pack ($100 - $1000)
Ghostbusters Halloween Costume Flight Suit

Last, but certainly not least, you can re-create the real thing with a little blood sweat and tears (and some cold hard cash as the offset).  You can go all in and download plans to assemble your own proton pack and Ghostbusters flight suit like Egon Spengler himself.  Alternatively you can gather patches, flight suits, proton packs, and other props on Ebay.

Big ups to Proton Charging for inspiring this updated version of the classic Ghostbusters costume - cheap and easy post from 2005.  Use your imagination and have a Happy Halloween!

What do you get when you mash-up one of the most quotable movies with a syncopated beat? A fresh and original remix by Dave Thomas.  Truly amazing, very creative!

Fan Projects: Mr. Stay Puft Halloween Costume

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

 

Dom wrote in and gave us an update on his Mr. Stay Puft Ghostbusters Halloween costume.

I made a Stay Puft Man costume this Halloween and wanted to share some of the
pics. The head is paper mache, and the hat is a styrofoam ring glued to a
pillow. The body is a painters coverall filled with stuffing.

Outstanding work, Dom!  You can view all of the photos in the gallery below.

A Ghostbuster Walks Into a Bar on Halloween…

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Ghosthead Kevin Race decided to walk into the Brass Monkey in Los Angeles, California on Halloween in full Ghostbusters gear.  We’re talking head to toe: ecto-googles, flight suit, proton pack, two ghost traps and a PKE Meter.  Kevin then proceeded to sing Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters during a karaoke contest.

True dedication, thanks for sharing with us Kevin!

I’m normally not a fan of tribute videos, but this Ghostbusters tribute video by Kenny does justice to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.  Well done!

Fan Projects: Ghostbusters Mighty Muggs

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Artist Jeff Pidgeon recently published designs for Ghostbusters Mighty Muggs on Flickr.  Mighty Muggs, for those of you scratching your heads, is a line of vinyl toys from Hasbro.  All character concepts from Jeff are linked below. Thanks to Tom for the heads up!

* Peter Venkman

* Egon Spengler

* Winston Zeddemore

* Ray Stantz

* Louis Tully (w/ headgear)

I should clarify that these are fan-made concepts.  That said, Ghostbusters-loving vinyl toy fans take heed, Ghostbusters kubrick figures will be available sometime next year.

Fan Projects: The Ultimate Ghostbusters Tattoo

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Ghostbusters.net member Crossing the Streams was kind enough to share photos of his brand new Ghostbusters tattoo which features artwork from Ghostbusters: Legion, including the Graham Crackers Comics Exclusive #1 cover.

I think this is one of the best Ghostbusters tattoos I’ve seen over the years. Sound off on the Ghostbusters Message Board with your thoughts.
