Meeting: Louisiana Ghostbusters to Mechacon 2011

"At the Mechacon Formal Ball we had to figure out a way to get into the event despite their strict dress code. What better way than to recreated the Courtroom scene from Ghostbusters 2 with suits, ties, sweatervests, and proton packs complete with "Evidence" tags on them! We spent a considerable amount of time in several closets and at several thrift stores in attempt to match the outfits worn by the original 3 Ghostbusters on their infamous court date. This is the result!"







Toys: Light ‘Em Up! A Look at the Next Ghostbusters Statue, the Terror Dog

www.artasylum.com:“OK, so, she’s a dog.” While not Dana Barret’s finest moment, we all fondly remember the time when the two dogs perched on either side of the steps waiting for the arrival of Gozer. Now, Diamond Select Toys is giving you the chance to recreate that moment in your home with the Ghostbusters “Terror Dog” light-up statue. Here are some in-progress pictures, including the finished Bill Mancuso sculpt, and the great job painter Jason Wires did of capturing the look of the beast. As of this writing, the factory is getting the electronics finalized, but since I was blogging anyway, I thought I’d share a shot of the light-up feature taken for review purposes. Enjoy!

Ghostbusters Mania: "Interviews Ghostheads" Brock the Alabama Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters Mania is proud to present  N°15 "Interview with Ghosthead" with Brock of the Alabama Ghostbusters


Brock, tell us a bit about yourself. Who are you? What are you doing? Other hobbies or interests?
I’m Brock Parker, chief of the Alabama Ghostbusters. In my everyday life, I run the website and social media for Auburn University.  I’ve been happily married for 12 years, and I have two awesome kids.

Outside of being a “Ghostbuster,” I’m an avid collector.  I not only collect GB, but “Batman,” “Star Trek” and “Back to the Future.”  I really don’t have any other costuming interests.

Where did you love for Ghostbusters come from?
I was eight-years-old when the first movie came out.  I vividly remember seeing the commercials and begging Mom to take me.  When she did, I was hooked (well, after getting over my fear of the terror dogs).  My friends and I would pretend to be GBs after school, then the cartoon and second movie kept the fire alive.  It’s never died down.

Fan Art: Spectacular gallery Ghostbusters Birthday Cakes by Spook Central


Spook Central: A Google search for "Ghostbusters Birthday Cake" brought back so many results, that I was actually surprised by how many different cakes there were. Since I like to use these images to post on friend's pages for their birthdays, I thought I'd make a collection. Some images have been modified to keep them generic. Also, only images that clearly look like birthday cakes are included. This eliminates cakes shaped like proton packs, traps, and other unusual designs.
Send photos of your birthday cake GB!

GB3: I trust Dan!

Here's an audio clip (provided by The Dennis Miller Radio Show site) and a text transcription of what's said in it. 


Dan Aykroyd on The Dennis Miller Radio Show (August 25, 2011) (Download)

Dan Aykroyd: Ah, yes, we will be doing the movie, and hopefully with Mr. Murray. That is our hope. We have an excellent script. And, uh, what we have to remember is that Ghostbusters is kind of bigger than any one component. Although Billy was absolutely the lead and was contributive to it in a massive way, as was the director, and Harold, myself, and all of us, Sigourney. You know, the concept is much bigger than each individual role. And the promise of Ghostbusters 3 is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood, because my character, Ray, is now blind in one eye, can't drive the Cadillac, [Dennis laughs] has a bad hip, bad knee, can't pick up the pack. Harold is too big to get... You know, Egon is too large to get into the harness. We need young blood and that's the promise. We're gonna hand it to a new generation. So we'll absolutely be in production in the Spring, I hope.

Dennis Miller: Have you been eyeballing any young kids out there in the paranormal frontage? Maybe a Sam Worthington? Who do you see as the worthy aire?

Dan Aykroyd: I like this guy Matthew Gray Gubler from the Criminal Minds show.

Dennis Miller: He'd be great.

Dan Aykroyd: But it's gonna be a casting, we're gonna have. We're gonna see everyone that wants to do it. We need three women... and one woman and a man...

Dennis Miller: Zoe Saldana.

Dan Aykroyd: I mean, three guys and a woman. Three guys and a young woman. Yeah.

Ghostbusters Mania: "Interviews Ghostheads" Ronald the Georgia Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters Mania is proud to present  N°14 "Interview with Ghosthead" with Ronald of the Georgia Ghostbusters


Ronald, tell us a bit about yourself. Who are you? What are you doing? Other hobbies or interests?

I’m Ronald Daniels–most people call me Ron–and I’m in my final year of Law School at the Walter F. George School of Law. I’m also one of the founding members of the Georgia Ghostbusters, a former host of the “Ghostheads” podcast, and a Moderator at Ghostbusters Fans. Most of my time is consumed by the study of law, but my other hobbies include studying Georgia political history, watching science fiction shows like Star Trek and Quantum Leap, blogging, and spending time with my wonderful fiancé and her dachshunds.

Where did you love for Ghostbusters come from?
I really do not know. Ha! My parents tell me I rented the first movie, and later the second movie, over-and-over again from the local video rental store. I guess the cartoon caught my attention first and then I progressed into the toys and movies.
As a kid, I loved pretending to be a Ghostbuster myself. So I guess it would be a combination of those things.

GB3: "Ghostbusters 3" is a Go for 2012



The Dennis Miller Show:
Dan Aykroyd confirms on today's show that there will be a 'Ghostbusters 3' next year.

As Aykroyd says, they "have an excellent script," which includes a new cast of characters (Aykroyd likes Matthew Gray Gubler for one of the roles). Hear the deets, including a cursory timeline of the project.

Gadgets: The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters Hallmark Ornament Sneak Peek and Giveaway

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
from Ghostbusters - Christmas of 2012

"Yes, it’s only August, but Hallmark ornaments are already out for purchase at stores. I freely admit that I’m one of the people that’s in the store as soon as I see that cute little Christmas display. I run inside and start checking to see which ones light up and which ones make noise. There is a chance that the folks at my local store see me coming and roll their eyes, because I have to press every button and hear each sound effect and every famous line spoken by the characters I love. A few weeks ago, back at San Diego Comic-Con, Hallmark had a wonderful booth set up with all their latest releases. The coolest part was the sneak peek of ornaments that aren’t due out until Christmas of 2012."
