N°11 "Interview with Ghosthead"
with Maryl-lyn
of the Orlando Ghostbusters
Maryl-lyn, tell us a bit about yourself. Who are you? What are you doing? Other hobbies or interests?
I'm Maryl-lyn of the Orlando Ghostbusters. I currently live in Orlando and work at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I enjoy making nerdy jewelry, painting, and prop building.
Where did you love for Ghostbusters come from?
At a very young age (3 or 4) my showed me the old SNL skits then Blues Brothers. After that I was hooked on Dan Aykroyd. When she showed me Ghostbusters 1 & 2 I fell in love and have been ever since.
I started building GB props because it was something I've wanted to do since I saw the movies. It wasn't until I moved to Orlando and met the OGBs that I was able to make it happen.
My favorite event is definitely Wizard Miami with Ernie Hudson. How many groups get to do a panel with a celebrity? It was definitely the coolest thing the OGBs have done. We also got to have lunch with him and get to know him as a person. I will always cherish that weekend.
Ghosthead to me is someone who loves Ghostbusters so much that they spend their free time propping or doing events or anything GB realted. Doesn't matter if your pack is screen accurate or a hunk of plastic. There are a lot of people who love the movie, but not to the extent that us Ghostheads do.
