In 1980 something if you wanted to have a Ghostbusters (birthday) party, these themed items (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, January 8, 2015) were about the best your parental units were going to do.

Fast forward 31 years, (my, how Ghostbusters times have changed) Spirit Halloween has officially licensed Ghostbusters items for your upcoming Ghostbusters party or event.

Looking for Ghostbusters decor to throw a great party? Who you gonna call? This officially licensed Ghostbusters Tablecloth and Banner are the perfect way to add some ghostly haunting to your next party. The Ghostbusters are on call 24 hours a day to serve all your supernatural party needs. 

  • Officially licensed
  • Includes:
    • Tablecloth
    • Banner
  • Dimensions: 108″H x 54″W (tablecloth), 5″H x 80″W (banner)
  • Material: Cardboard, plastic
  • Imported

Opinion: A Ghostbusters tablecloth would have been perfect when I was 10. It’s great that Spirit Halloween and Sony finally have the right decor for a Ghostbusters party. Considering their have been such parties since 1984. This tablecloth could also be a really nice touch for Ghostbusters franchise events.

A Ghostbusters tablecloth could be enough, at the same price point Spirit Halloween includes a 14 linked banner that spells Ghostbusters. This is nit-picky, the second Slimer image should have been Stay-Puft.

Yesterday I had some opinions about Spirit Halloween new Ghostbusters costumes. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, August 19, 2019) The post was long and I didn’t have the time before work to talk about Spirit Halloween other Ghostbusters merchandise. This is that post.

Full disclosure I don’t own any of Spirit Halloween’s Ghostbusters items. I use to own Matty Collector Prop Toys and still own a 19 year old Proton Pack replica. Should the time come and it makes “good financial sense,” whether it’s from Spirit Halloween or elsewhere I’d like to own similar items again.

See something strange in the neighborhood? Now you’ll know who to call with this Ghostbusters Walkie Talkie. Grab one for you and all your friends and start feeling like real ghost hunters.

  • Officially licensed
  • Product Saying:
    • “Venkman! I saw it! I saw it! I saw it!”
    • “It’s right here, Ray. It’s looking at me. He’s an ugly little spud, isn’t he?”
    • “I think he can hear you, Ray. Don’t move, it won’t hurt you.”
    • *Slimer charging Venkman*
    • “He slimed me!”
  • Dimensions: 9.38″ H x 2.75″ W x 1.85″ D
  • Battery Type: 2 AA (not included)
  • Material: Plastic
  • Care: Spot clean
  • Imported
  • Note: This is a prop and not a functioning walkie talkie

Opinion: This is an interesting Ghostbusters accessory. It’s basically an 80s style Motorola walkie talkie replica. Fun name. Without their branding. The real deal can be expensive and believe it or not may still work with emergency personnel today.

If you’re putting together a costume…uh uniform and want to duplicate the look and a favorite scene from Ghostbusters, it’s great Spirit Halloween basically made a walkie talkie…with a sound chip.

That’s right, as an officially licensed product, it has 5 lines of dialogue from the only time in Ghostbusters when Peter and Ray (later a bit of Egon) talked over their walkie talkies. Depending on the volume, I feel at a con for example one may not hear the quotes. Also, like a pull string toy from childhood, the lines may get old quick without the rest of Ghostbusters.

I do like that ghost hunters, (really Spirit Halloween) have an included holster. The obvious “no ghost” logo hurts the realism of being a Ghostbuster.

Last year Spirit Halloween took their Ghostbusters license to the next level with new Ghostbusters costumes, prop replicas, and more. (GBI Blog Post, August 30, 2018)

Those items far as I know are still available to buy along with a storage facility full of new items.

Full disclosure I don’t own any of Spirit Halloween’s Ghostbusters items. As you may know I own a couple of Ghostbusters flight suits, (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, March 5, 2014) that don’t fit because I lost weight in the last 2 years.

When I’m able to I’ll put together a new for me Ghostbusters costume. This post is more of an overview and my opinion of what Spirit Halloween is offering this year than a review.
