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.

Dan Aykroyd and his father, Peter, appeared on this morning’s TODAY show on NBC.  While discussing Peter Aykroyd’s new book entitled “A History of Ghosts: The True Story of Seances, Mediums, Ghosts, and Ghostbusters“, Al Roker asked Dan Aykroyd about the possibility of Ghostbusters 3.

If you weren’t already aware, the wonderful folks at Mattel (via MattyCollector.com) have brought every Ghostbusters fan’s dream to life by announcing a line of 6″ and 12″ Ghostbusters action figures bearing the respective likeness of Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray.

Although MattyCollector announced a limited edition 6″ “Slimed” Egon Spengler during San Diego Comic Con this year, the line officially begins with 12″ and 6″ versions of Ray Stantz.  There have been several reviews of the action figures including this Action Figure insider review of 12″ Ray Stanz which includes some great photos of the removable / light up Proton Pack. I leave you with video reviews of 6″ and 12″ Ray Stantz from TNTS, but not before mentioning that (during time of publication) there are only 2,869 12″ and 9,219 6″ Ray Stantz figures left and they are going fast.  Be sure to get yours before they are gone forever.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ghostbusters, the fine folks at Crackle have made the original full feature-length widescreen version of Ghostbusters available to watch on YouTube.

The film is only available for a little while longer and Crackle is hosting a viewing party tonight at 9PM EST // 8PM CST // 6PM PST respectively. Be there and don’t cross the streams!

If you missed the next-generation (Xbox 360 / Playstation 3 / PC) trailer, check it out.  Thanks to Ben for the heads up.

Today is a very special day.  Not only is it the release date for the MUCH anticipated Ghostbusters: The Video Game, it also happens to be the 20th anniversary of Ghostbusters II.

To celebrate, enjoy these rare behind the scenes interviews with Bill Murray and Ivan Reitman from the set of Ghostbusters II.

Big thanks to Ron Daniels (the heart of Ghostbusters II within the community) for the inspiration.

After 25 long years of chasing ghosts Ray, Egon, Winston and Peter need a little help.
