Ghost Busters (1954)

I have nothing to say – this inspired mashup of Ghost Breakers, Scared Stiffs, Flubber, and other classic black and white pics (I think I saw a clip of The Day The Earth Stood Still), asks the simple question, “What if Columbia had made Ghostbusters in 1954?”

And then it answers it, brilliantly. Big round of applause for Ivan – it’s pretty obvious this was a fun, but by no means easy undertaking. Plus it has my favorite line from Scared Stiffs (you’ll know what I mean if you’ve ever listened to any sound clips here on Proton Charging.) If you’re curious, Ivan has another YouTube video going through the trailer piece by piece.

    Hmm, I always thought that Scared Stiffs line in your audio files came from the RGB episode “The long, long, long ect. Goodbye”.

    Found within the pages of Variety Magazine: July 12, 1957
    “ghostbusters 2 will be out in 1959 everyone!, dean Martin has already said that he will do it and it will start filming this fall. i hope they use the CGI from the first one to make it be same. i hope that jerry lewis will be in it because he made the first one so great and that would be awesome. if not mayeb they can get dick van dyke. you heard it hear first guys itll be her in 59 and itll be great!!1!”

  20. Chris, I always thought that Scared Stiffs line was from an episode the Filmation’s live-action GB series.

  21. castewar says:

    Nope, it’s good old Dino.

  22. this post is quoted by The League of S.T.E.A.M. says:

    [...] Now some of those clever wonks have gone and made themselves a fantastic, silent-film era version of Ghostbusters – in their own way, they’ve matched and occasionally exceeded the last retro-imagining of Ghostbusters. [...]
