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!
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.
Two weekends ago, I was lucky enough to find some VHS tapes of Ghostbusters II which contained special bumpers from ABC. Today, while at home for Thanksgiving, I found the holy grail. This tape was my first look at Ghostbusters (the film, my first intro to the franchise was The Real Ghostbusters).
This taping was recorded from ABC 7 in Chicago (WLS) in 1987. Enjoy the bumper and, for those in the states, have a happy Thanksgiving!
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!
I was digging through some artifacts this weekend during a visit at my parent’s house. I managed to find the complimentary video to the very special (to me, anyways) Ghostbusters ABC Sunday Night Movie Intro, which was my first interaction with the original film as documented in the first episode of Ghostheads. Judging by the commercials my guess is this was recorded in 1991 - 1992.
For Ghostbusters II fans, you’re in for a mini-bonus, of sorts. I also managed to find a recording of the ABC 7 Chicago (WLS) broadcast of Saturday Night Movie featuring Ghostbusters II. Judging by the commercials, this was recorded in 1996.
Please let me know if you have an exact air-date for either of these. Thanks in advance!
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!
It seems Ghostbusters 3 is quite the topic of conversation as Bill Murray continues his press junket for City of Ember. This time Bill Murray comments on the possibility of a “Girl Ghostbuster” while comparing the idea to previous character brainstorms.
A fresh look inspired by the original film with Bill excited and behind it makes me excited and hopeful for the first time in over ten years.
Illustrator Garrett Vander Leun put together an outstanding wallpaper for TheDesktopWallpaperProject. Featuring quotes and iconography from Groundhog Day, Rushmore, Caddyshack, and Ghostbusters (among others), it is sure to warm the hearts of Bill Murray fans everywhere.
The wallpaper is available in several formats, thanks to Jon for the tip!
