Warning: Zombies
Posted on October 30, 2007
Just in time for Halloween, Cracked Magazine (or rather, it’s slightly less goofy website counterpart) has posted a great article on the scientific possibility of a Zombie apocalypse. Their best guess? More possible than we’d like to think.

Ghostbusters attend UK wedding
Posted on October 26, 2007
Not THE Ghostbusters, but serious ghostheads nevertheless.
When 26 years old Toby and Laura Ryder planned their wedding, they opted for a unique dress code - fancy costumes only. The couple tied the knot this past Saturday in front of 83 decked out guests, including Optimus Prime, various Thundercats and superheros, one can of spam, and two Ghostbusters.
Congratulations to the couple and if anybody knows who the two busters are, please let us know! (there’s a full crowd, large sized version of the image shown above.)

More on the Roots of GB theme
Posted on October 25, 2007
Paul over at Spook Central has some thoughts to add to the various, potential “root” songs for Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters. Not as evidence of more nicking, but more examples that perhaps the Huey Lewis’s I Want A New Drug bassline isn’t as unique as he thought.
Spooktacular set-piece for sale
Posted on October 24, 2007
When this Terror Dog first appeared on eBay, there was a bit of confusion - the seller, who had gotten the item off of someone ten years earlier, said they had been told the Terror Dog statue was from the movie, but if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know it’s not. A few people that were lucky enough to attend to Ghostbusters Spooktacular at Universal Studios theme park, thought it might have been part of the Paranormal Gift Shop, which in the hey-day of the Ghostbusters films, was packed with Ghostbusters loot to buy.
Then Troy at GBHQ posted a link to Bruce Miller’s Creature Effects, which had a picture of a similar dog. Sure enough, labeled under the photo - “Ghostbusters Gift Shop.”
So, mystery solved and with a few days left on the auction, though at $375, it might be a little high. The item looks excellent, but it’s certainly not from the movie, and may not even have been used at the gift shop (it may have been a back-up or a duplicate made from the same mold.) However, it is pretty sweet. The one on eBay appears to be a Vinz Clortho dog (horns long and up), while the photo on Bruce’s page is a Zuul dog (horns short and down.)
Nods to K6 Scorpion for spotting the auction to begin with and Troy and Dan of GBVA for settling the mystery.

Recently, Ivan Reitman returned to his old hometown (Toronto) to get his star on the Canada Walk of Fame, and while up here, he sat down on CBC’s The Hour. As well as a great talk with one of the highest grossing director/producers of all time, he drops a cool anecdote about the Californian Governor and Ghostbusters.
