The second US version of Ghostbusters Stay-Puft marshmallows.

You may remember in October I wrote a few posts about Ghostbusters confectionaries. (Ecto-Containment Tag) That is if you live in either the UK or a country where they can be shipped to. Since I imagine the cost of shipping candy which will either melt or expire could be very costly for an international company, in North America we either wrote about them or dealt with our emotions. Or both. 😀

One of those confectionaries, Stay-Puft Marshmallows. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, October 13, 2015)Read More »

A Ghostbusters Animated Movie In Development

Spengs2 Comments

Their had been talk with the addition of Ghostbusters (2016) (Ghostbusters International Blog Post, October 8, 2014) an animated movie could also be a part of Ghostbusters future. While not officially announced yet from Sony Pictures Animation, The Hollywood Reporter  well reported this week an animated movie has been in development and a director has been hired.

Fletcher Moules, whose been behind the Clash of Clans commercials has been hired to direct. Ivan Reitman who brought Ghostbusters down to earth, directed both films, and is a producer on Ghostbusters (2016) will be one of the producers.

Ghostheads don’t know yet what Ghostbusters (80s, Real, Extreme, (probably not) 2016, etc will be in a new animated movie, what the story will be, and really any animated details. Personally I’d like to see an animated movie with the Ghostbusters that began the franchise in 1984. I’m not saying it has to take place from 1984. Either way I’ll keep an open mind and see what Ghost Corps has in mind. What would you like to see?

Hulu To Stream Extreme Ghostbusters

This may be extremely (really Rich?) exciting for fans of the Extreme Ghostbusters. In particular if you’re a ghosthead and live in Region 1 where it isn’t available on DVD.

Hulu is set to stream season 1 (the only season) of Extreme Ghostbusters on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.

Personally I haven’t used Hulu in years, long before their was a plus version. I don’t know if the entire season will be available as it could be on other streaming services. Or it’ll just be a premium show. If a ghosthead knows or we find out, I can update this post.

Also as its been a while, (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, October 21, 2015) Sony Pictures streaming service Crackle has continued adding episodes of The Real Ghostbusters to stream. The last episode is season 1’s A Fright At The Opera.

Ghostbusters 3 Hellbent Script Pages

Spengs5 Comments

gbs3hellbentblogtitle

If you’ve been a ghosthead and on the internet a good portion of your life you’ve probably followed closely developments for what could have been “Ghostbusters 3.” Dan Ackroyd had an idea he’s talked about through the years where a doorway into our world opens, basically turning NYC into some ghost hell. These ideas would be incorporated into Ghostbusters: The Video Game from 2009.

A decade earlier in 1999 Dan Ackroyd wrote the first draft for Hellbent. I’m not sure when, where, (probably internet communications) or how, like a classified top secret file this script was out there to the fewest of ghostheads.Read More »

ILM 1989 Ghostbusters II Yearbook

SpengsLeave a comment

Tim Lawrence, (IMDB) was the Creature Shop Supervisor (must have looked good on the business card) during Ghostbusters II and played Nunzio Scoleri, a ghost who was given the chair by “The Hammer,” a judge who didn’t believe in ghosts.

Earlier this month Tim Lawrence came across a ILM yearbook from 1989. He scanned the cover and the Ghostbusters II pages, telling ghostheads about the photos. Links and information was shared at Ghostbusters Fans.

I decided to make a PDF of the cover and four pages using the original sizes. If you wouldn’t want a 60 MB PDF file you can check Tim Lawrence’s thread for various image sizes.

The momentum for Ecto Cooler continues to build as some people are receiving a product sample Hi-C Ecto Cooler 2016, (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, February 19, 2016) and samples have been tasted.

When Ghostbusters (2016) director Paul Feig was asked by Alex Lobo via Twitter about Ecto Cooler’s 2016 release, we all received the following response:

paulfeighicectocoolerconfirmtweet.jpg

I don’t know when sooner in relation to Ghostbusters (2016) release in July. I do feel at the end of February its too soon for Coke/Hi-C to release anything related to marketing. Maybe after March 3, 2016 at the earliest once Ghostbusters (2016) first trailer (Ghostbusters International Blog Post, February 14, 2016) is released.

Hostess Key Lime Slime Twinkies

Lime flavored Ghostbusters Twinkies are coming. They won’t weigh approx. 600lbs.

As I’m sure most know these days, Twinkies and Ghostbusters have synergy. If you’re a ghosthead you can’t quite have one without the other. During the rise of Gozer, my employers had some bad habits. For Dr. Egon Spengler, it was snack foods. During a key moment to explain “the bad” they and NYC were on the verge on, Dr. Spengler had a Hostess Twinkie. Coincidental or not it made for a great analogy about what was to come, a 100ft marshmallow man from another snack food empire, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Company.

Unfortunately their was never a cross promotional tie-in, like with X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Ghostbusters, Hostess Twinkies, and Stay-Puft’s marshmallows became the “best of friends.”

During Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary I tweeted Hostess to ask and to have a little fun if we’d have a Ghostbusters Twinkie promotion. They had a great sense of humor about it…
