Adam encounters one of the actual ghost trap props used on screen for Ghostbusters I and II, and this is a special one. Connected to the original transmitter controller used on set, this ghost trap is packed full of practical effects that not only let it open and close, but activate all the flashing and blinking lights that we saw in the films. Adam takes a look inside this iconic prop to see how the effects technicians made it work over 40 years ago!

Who ya gonna call?! 2021 Halloween Projection Mapping of the Ghostbusters. Ray, Egon, Peter, and Winston save the day yet again. Set to the original Ghostbusters theme with some bad boys music thrown in…they finally get Slimer! Appearances by Vigo, Dana, Demon Dogs, and much more.

I mapped (drew) my house lines at a specific angle viewing the house. The mapping looks best when facing the house looking straight on of the main garage or at an angle facing where the entry archway and small garage meet. This gives you the full mapping (including the small garage) at a glance and looks great.

Ich liebe das Netz ja auch dafür, dass sich Leute um die wirklich wichtigen Fragen kümmern und Antworten darauf zu finden versuchen. Wie zum Beispiel diese, wie viele Marshmallows man aus dem Marshmallow Man der Ghostbusters machen könnte. Und dann rechnen die das höchstseriös aus, na klar.

Das ist alles höchstkompliziert, weshalb ich darauf verzichtet habe, selber zu versuchen, das zu berechnen. Aber dafür gibt es da draußen ja Profis. Und ehrlich, ich verstehe auch nur 2/4 davon, aber es ist halt auch nicht mein Job, das zu tun. Kurz: Man könnte aus dem Marshmallow Man der Ghostbusters 300 Millionen Marshmallows machen. Wow.

Mit Grafiken und alles:

Once Hind gridded-up Stay Puft, he made estimations for each part. For example, the hat is about three feet high, with a radius of 10 feet, making it 942.3 cubic feet. As for the head, Hind estimated it was 20 feet high, with a radius of 14 feet, making it 12,312.7 cubic feet. From there, you kinda get the idea, but the unique shape of the torso involved a bit more work. „For the torso,“ Hind says, „I used an approach based on the volume of a solid of revolution to plot the slight S shaped curve of his side and rotate it.“

I’ve read that sentence 20 times and I still don’t understand it, but he did include more visuals, which I sorta understand.

All told, Hind concluded that the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man has a volume of 151,960.2 cubic feet, but we reasoned that his pupils, mouth, neckerchief and certain parts of his hat aren’t made of marshmallow, so once those are removed, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is 151,772.2 cubic feet of actual marshmallow.

Ich habe hier ja innerfamiliär hin und wieder Kino-Dates, die ich mal mehr, mal weniger motiviert annehme. Nach diesem Ghostbusters Trailer für „AFterlife“ bin dann wohl ich endlich mal wieder der Filmbestimmer. Lieb einfach alles daran.

Set in the universe of the first two Ivan Reitman films from the 1980s, „Ghostbusters: Afterlife“ tells the story of Callie, a single mom struggling to survive in Chicago with her two kids, 12-year-old Phoebe and 15-year-old Trevor. When Callie receives news of her long-estranged father’s passing – a father she never even knew – she and the kids pack up the Subaru and move to the small midwestern town of Summerville.

As the family settles into their „inheritance,“ a rotting, worthless dirt farm, they soon discover that they have mysterious ties to a team of paranormal investigators called the Ghostbusters, the specter-catching team who saved New York City from supernatural destruction 35 years ago.

I’m required by law to make one Halloween mashup every year.
Also, a few people have beat me to this idea, but I thought I’d put my own spin on this combo.

Trailer zum im nächsten Jahr in die Kinos kommenden Ghostbusters – Afterlife. Da werden sicher wieder einige was zu meckern haben, aber ich finde, das sieht ganz geil aus.

„From director Jason Reitman and producer Ivan Reitman, comes the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, when a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. The film is written by Jason Reitman & Gil Kenan.“

Sehr geiles Modellauto aus dem Hause Eaglemoss: ein Ghostbusters Ecto-1 im Maßstab 1:8 zum Selberbauen. Das wäre doch mal ein hervorragendes Geschenk.

Die Anzüge gab’s umsonst.

Paul Harborne, from Sedgley, West Midlands, bought a rare 1960 Cadillac miller-meteor in 2010 and estimates he’s spent more than £100,000 doing it up to create the iconic car over the last five years.

Combining his love for classic cars and the cult film, Paul spent three years painstakingly renovating the car – turning it into the ultimate Ecto-1 replica.

And Paul, 53, certainly attracts some interesting reactions when he’s driving his Ghostbusters car around town.
