It’s that time of year again – time for me to haul out the Proton Charging annual guide to making yourself a cheap and dirty Ghostbusters costume! The kind you can take to the bar, get some high-fives, and not worry if it (or you) gets trashed.
Things have changed in the last few years that impact this guide a little – for starters, there is now a line of off-the-shelf GB costumes – both of which you can buy through 80s Tees (I’ve ordered through them before, and they are reliable and fast.) Totally cheap jumpsuit with a blow-up proton pack. One might poo-poo such a thing, but hold on there poopy – with one simple product, you have a passable jumper (remember, I advocated cheap, disposable, painter’s coveralls in a pinch) which also have the GB logos already on the shoulders! That’s two down. Add in the little flourishes from the PC Cheap-o guide (belt, boots, elbow pads) and you’ve really got something. Heck, you even sort of have a proton pack! Plus, they come in kids sizes! Moms pay attention!
They also come in sexy sizes. Sexy moms, pay attention!
Other than that, good luck, play safe, and take pictures to send in to PC!

The pre-made suits are pretty sweet, but has anyone seen this one? http://www.4halloweencostumes.com/default.asp?group=sh&Cat=A
The jumpsuit looks a little better IMO.
I just wanted to say the all-in-one costume can look pretty cool if you add just a few items to it. Last year I bought that and added the ecto-goggles (made from the goggles mentioned above and with “norm’s” plans: http://www.gbfans.com/image.php?url=/images/equipment/plans/norm_goggle_2.jpg), belt, elbo pads and black gloves. I am a computer technician so I added some random stuff to the belt and it turned out pretty good. Here is a pic of my costume last year: http://s97.photobucket.com/albums/l218/SchottGun/Halloween%202k7/?action=view¤t=ghostbuster_schott.jpg
Those look like standard costumes available at any Spirit store (I was just at the Spirit store, and saw most of them.) The Ghostbusters costumes are the Rubies ones.
