  Love busting ghosts? Want to slip into something comfortable that shows you love busting ghosts? We Love Fine have announced their new Ghostbusters Romper!

  "Those are for girls!"
  Correction – those are for women and men unafraid to reveal they have hips. There are four rompers, each bearing the OGB nametag of your preference and are $78.

  "That's insane!"
  Correction – that's a decent amount of cash, but they are high quality, detailed, and besides, how many times have you bought the movie on home video? Case rested.

  "It's not movie accurate!"
  That's why they called it a romper and not a "movie accurate jumpsuit". Stop complaing. Look at them, they're awesome.

  Check out WVF's store page here and pick yourself up something awesome.

  Ghostbusters 1 & 2 2014 Blu-ray Odds & Ends
  Ghostbusters II Indian film certification certificate.

  Taken from one of the MANY .m2ts files found on both discs. Most of those 100+ video files are legal warnings and notices for various foreign regions (only 31 files on GB1, and 14 files on GB2 are consumer content). This certificate scan is found in a few video files. Presumably it plays on load when the disc is viewed by a consumer in whatever Blu-ray region India is located in (either "B" or "C"). I did not find a certificate on the GB1 disc.
  These are little bits of interesting stuff I found on the new Blu-rays that I don't really have a place for on Spook Central.http://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/gb1_blu2014.htmhttp://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/gb2_blu2014.htm

  GB2 deleted scene "Sizing Up The Museum Situation"

  A Edit of the footage shown in the GB II EPK (Electronic Press Kit). The deleted scene "Sizing Up The Museum Situation" which now is in somewhat correct order. This was done in many respects for fellow fans since Sony decided to not include it in the latest release of the film. Chris at Proton Charging a few days ago came to the conclusion that the Fire Captain also seen in deleted scene "Jack Buys It" to be John Ring which played the Fire Commissioner in the first movie. I think this footage further proves Chris is right. Link to GB2 EPK page: http://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/gb2_epk.htm

  When one DIC production references another – in this case, Dennis the Menace references Ghostbusters.

  
  "Dennis The Menace" short "Ghost Blusters". Clips

  Dennis The Menace (animated 1986) episode 03 B "Ghost Blusters". (Thanks Daniel Cevallos for the idea!)While the title itself seems to be spoof, there is what appears to be music used in the episode that sounds like "Ghostbusters" a bit. I went ahead and collected all three parts of the short with the music playing. Interesting note, along with the fact that this show was made by DIC around the same time as Real Ghostbusters, it also has credits at the end for music being by Haim Saban and Shuki Levy which also did additional music for Real Ghostbusters. DIC had at one point, a good three or four shows being done all in the same year, and it's interesting watching how many things cross over from one show to the next. "Dennis The Menace" shared many of the same sound effects and music with "Inspector Gadget", "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats", and "Real Ghostbusters" to name a few.Source for footage "dhx retro tv uk": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1awjIWcPnM

  Timeline Photos
  "Urusei Yatsura" episode 182 "Pure Love Sakura! The Slippery Soap of Separation?" and why… Stay Puft Cameo. Yes, in 1985 the anime Urusei Yatsura had a very short Ghostbusters reference. Considering the time period, it is a pretty interesting piece of Ghostbusters history. One must note that this wasn't the only show to do this, and Ghostbusters in 1985 was pretty much the flavor of the month type thing. But in 2014, I'll take what I can get, and I bet most of you will too.
