James “Angry Video Game Nerd” Rolfe and crew peer way too far into the Ghostbusters film plots. And that’s saying something coming from me.

The Almighty Terribles perform an original live soundtrack to Ghostbusters!
From left to right: Drummer Ryan Decker, bassist Nathan Powell and frontman Dave Cahill, perform in front of a packed house their original Ghostbusters soundtrack
When you combine the post-apocalyptic stylings of progressive rock band The Almighty Terribles with the pre-apocalyptic story of Ghostbusters, you’re bound to get something special. And the Almighty Terribles provided an experience that went beyond special.
The band played both songs from the soundtrack as well as avant-garde sound effects and original music
They came into a packed house with Proton Packs made of foam, jumpsuits and an LED lit up guitar. Providing avant-garde sound effects, original music and the theme song, the Almighty Terribles brought something new to something that they all love.
“We all grew up with,” shared drummer Ryan Decker. “Its just one of those movies that we understood and in a way changed our lives.”
“[Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema] asked us to do ‘Soundtrack Comes Alive,’” frontman Dave Cahill stated, “and we wanted to do a movie with something with characters and this is the first thing that came to mind.” It was a mutual agreement right away for them, as they got their plan ready that involved packs, jumpsuits and a soundtrack listing that would work best with the film. “We wanted to get cases of Ecto-Cooler for the audience, but we didn’t have enough time.”
Their set list included some of their own songs such as “Banshee” and “Bomb in the Bedroom,” as well the Ghostbusters theme song and “Saving the Day.” “We knew right away that we had to do the theme song,” Cahill said.
They had jumpsuits and original foam proton packs! A light weight alternative definitely needed while playing instruments.
When deciding what song to place where, bassist, Nathan Powell, said right away, “I thought that was the easiest part!”
The Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema, part of the ArtsQuest Center in Bethleham, PA, has had experience with performances like this in the past. Ryan Hill, Programming Manager of the theater, spoke about the “Soundtrack Comes Alive” program at the theater. The Almighty Terribles’ Ghostbusters performance is the fifth in the series, following Point Break, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, and Baraka.
“The Almighty Terribles approached me with Ghostbusters,” Hill says. “If a band picks a movie, they’re passionate with it.”

I added a Facebook gallery of photos of all the Ghostbusters cakes and other combustibles I’ve gotten over the years and thought I’d share this recipe I stumbled upon awhile back. SLIME-filled cupcakes. Oh man that’s awesome.
