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!
The ectomobile now features Sony’s slim series subwoofers, a DVD A/V system, iPod adapter, and Sony marine amps (to cope with all that ectoplasm, presumably) and some hefty speakers. It also has a Sony MP3 player, 10-disc CD changer and NV-U83T navigation system installed.
From a very interesting blog post written by Mark Harris for TechRadar UK. Looks like the car is going to SEMA this year. 2009 is going to be a great year to be a ghosthead.
How about a Ghostbusters meme this Halloween? Trick-or-Treat!
9000!! NINE THOUSAAAAANDD!
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!
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.
I’m pleased to announce that long time ghosthead, Dr. Snay, is developing a free — made by fans for fans — Ghostbusters video game inspired by the Sega Genesis video game. There is, however, one large and important difference. Winston is a playable character.
Stay tuned for updates, and let your voice be heard on the Ghostbusters Message Board. Fans will shape the way this game turns out. Come on in and participate in a historical event: the first fan-made, collaberative, video game based on Ghostbusters.
New York Magazine published a 9 page preview of the TOKYOPOP manga Ghost Busted. If you have yet to pick up the Ghostbusters-inspired manga, we encourage you to run (not walk) to your local comic shop and pick up a copy.
Discuss the new TOKYOPOP Ghostbusters manga on the Ghostbusters Message Board.
I just found a gem on YouTube. The 1984 music video for the Bus Boys’ song “Cleaning Up The Town”, which appeared on the Ghostbusters soundtrack and scored the iconic first bust scene in the original film.
The video features a cameo by Calvert DeForest a.k.a Larry “Bud” Melman, as well as live sequences from The Bus Boys accompanied by clips of the film.
When I interviewed the Bus Boys 8 years ago, lead singer Brian O’Neal confirmed the existance of the video, which (to my knowledge) has never been aired before, but they did not have a copy in their possession. That said, they were kind enough to send me a ton of great footage, including this live swing performance of the Bus Boys’ two most famous songs: “Cleaning Up The Town” (Ghostbusters) and “The Boys Are Back In Town” (48 Hours).
Ghosthead Chris Trolio wrote in to share his Ghostbusters-inspired jack-o’-lantern he made last year for Halloween.

A big thanks to Jimmy Hayes and the wonderful staff at Graham Crackers Comics of Wheaton for a wonderful event. You can view photos and read a recap of the event posted on the Ghostbusters Message Board by Ectoman57. It was a pleasure meeting all of the ghostheads that made it out.
For those of you without the new Ghostbusters comics, Graham Crackers has Ghostbusters: The Other Side #1 (as well as the GCC exclusive cover) available for purchase in addition to the newly released TOKYOPOP Ghostbusters manga and Cereal Geek #4.
Top top it all off, Ghostbusters: The Other Side artist Tom Nguyen was kind enough to draw Dr. Peter Venkman on the spot especially for Ghostbusters.net. I was also fortunate to do an interview with Tom, which will be published soon.
