Hello everyone, nice site by the way my son believe it or not is a fan of gostbusters , my husband and my brother have the movies and stuff and my 5 yrs old son now is a huge fan, He want a ghostbuster costume for halloween and that they start my nightmare hahaha, i dont know any ideas where to find a costume, i was looking online but im afraid that the costume dosent get at time my son will be very sad if I promise him a costume that dosent get on time for halloween, so I was looking for ideas so I can make the costume by myself, I saw a few ideas but looks soooo complicated for me lol, any ideas for a proton pack for a 5 years old? thank you!!!
Otherwise something like shoeboxes, random tubing, hot melt glue, and blinking lights.. etc would work perfect for a 5 year old.

You could also look on ebay, and find the real toy real ghostbusters proton pack and gun, maybe even a trap.
My brother’s kid was suppose to be my mini ghostbuster, but they are not going to be able to make it into town. So I will be putting this on ebay tomorrow. Has no wand though.Has Lights .
When I was a kid, me and a friend made our own proton packs ourselves by cutting a couple of slits in a cardboard box (so the straps from a backpack could slip through) and using a stick and string as the proton thrower. Sure it wasn’t movie accurate by a LONG shot, but people had no problem figuring out who we were supposed to be.
For lots of money since it’s considered as a collector’s item now.
Also check out some of the Halloween stores that usually spring up for Halloween. They should have it.

I’ve seen them go for as little as $30… and sometimes with a trap and pke as well for $50.. for everything you are getting, thats a killer deal, when you consider today’s toy prices.
Someone had mentioned using one of those plastic toy lawnmowers with the wheels and handle removed strapped on the back and painted black.
I’m a real newbie here too. My 7 year old son just recently got into Ghostbusters big time so, of course, he’s gonna be a Ghostbuster for Halloween. I built him a really really cheap proton pack and gun out of mostly cardboard, things around the house, and some battery operated lights from the craft store. I started the whole thing though be watching this video and then went on from there. I’m sure it’s right up your alley.
cool!
