Yep, glad you agree. The writing on that one is top notch, and the whole episode has a cinematic feel.
Knock Knock.
In my opinion, there’s no more perfect episode.
It’s dark, but funny. It’s cartoony, but also terrifying. It’s clever, weird, and yet has a very simple setup. Slimer is downplayed, but the relationship between him, Venkman, and the rest is perfectly summed up in 2 short scenes that kind of give us a character arc.
The scale is epic, the visuals are amazing, and not a single line of dialogue is wasted. It’s bizarrely Lovecraftian in many ways, but still has fun with the story.
Turning this into a feature film wouldn’t even take that much work. There’s enough great, epic imagery and ideas that expanding on it would be simple. There could even be sub plots about rescuing damned subway workers or something.
If I had the time, I’d write it myself. Of course, if I was a paid screenwriter, I’d write it myself, too. With JMS’s permission, natch.
Knock Knock works great. I also think Ghost Fight at the OK Corral would work pretty well too.
I’d have to say " The Collect call of Cthulhu " Loved it .Course I’m a Lovecraft fan.
Call me a philistine but I also think “The Haunting of Heck House” would have made a great movie too. Properly animated and fleshed out the GBs vs the mount everest of haunted houses would have made a good movie.
When Halloween was forever" purely because I’d love to see Sam Hain on the big screen
I would have to say Look Homeward Ray my favorite episode a full length movie and Elaine Furman would’ve made another appearance as well. 
:whatever: :walterpeck:
#1 Pick - When Halloween was Forever
#2 Pick - The Boogieman Cometh
#3 Pick - The Collect Call of Cathulhu
For me odd choice but “Revenge of Murray the mantis” now if its to fit movie continuity then plot needs altering slightly to find an excuse to bring Stay Puft back.
I just love this episode so much as it has a Godzilla or Terminator element of bad guy returning to be hero. I love those.
Its a later episode, but hear me out…
Ready?
…The Haunting of Heck House…
Make it into a real supernatural thriller!
I like the way you think :love:
Funny enough when Jan DeBont’s horrible remake of “The Haunting” came out I was immediately reminded of that particular episode of RGB.
Count me in for an expended version of The Haunting Of Heck House, it was one of my favorite episodes of the later seasons and one of the best times that the RGB’s did not use the Proton Packs & Ghost Traps to solve their problems.
The devil in the deep.

Sorry to bump an old post but I was finally able to find a site online I could watch this whole episode and I totally agree… Just splice this episode in at about 1/3 of the 15 min episode “It’s about time” and I hate to say write out slimer but if you set it after GB:TVG before EGB you could include him in all the firehouse interior (present time) scenes in the observation containment thingamajiger for the kids to interact with and be in the background Just give his lines with the kids to Luis and have the Rookie bumbling around in the background tripping over somthing… Honestly you could keep slimer in, write him out or tone him down and it really wouldn’t affect the story(s) at all…
Considering that’s less than a hour combined and even less if you cut slimers scenes you could put a montage of Ecto 1 with a time lapse life as a herse/ambulance ending up in a lot with Ray buying then lot then a 30 sec of the original ecto 1 build with a couple quick shots of it on calls 30 more sec of Ecto1A then couple calls and a shot of it all waxed and shiney at a car show for young Roland to see at the end before the ghostbusters arrive back in the “present time” at the end of “It’s about time” have it end with the guys splitting up even though they don’t have to move (all that BS without their equipment was just to much except for Egon and Ray(Casper LOL)) so cut a year later and end it with Egon residing at the firehouse with ecto 1 gathering dust going to his first day teaching class and briefly introduce the EGB…
Then you could use EGB Back In The Saddle as part of a sequel :mrgreen:
Ghost Fight at The O.K. Corral is my top favorite. Knock, knock deserves to be expanded on. I would also like to see Look Homeward Ray, or the spirit of Aunt Lois. Having the Ghostbusters up against phony Ghost hunters and the GB’s personal histories would have been interesting to expand on.
I would love to see a feature length version of Bustman’s Holiday. It’s just begging for an epic, Army of Darkness style treatment.
I would also love to see Masquerade, and I think Take Two would be really fun and meta as a live action feature. They could do some cool stunt casting, like in the theater scene in Thor: Ragnarock.
Knock knock.
You know I was rewatching “Halloween II 1/2” and it strikes me that it would also make a good RGB movie. The stakes are higher, all the ghosts escape the ECU and are organized this time plus they lose their headquarters. You have an awesome villian in Samhain (seriously Bill Martin’s performance is one of the best villian roles in animation as far as Im concerned he’s easily as good as john Hut or Vincent Price). Properly expanded it would have been a spectacular movie.
there was alot in season 2 like
the one with samhain
that old book about starting the apocalypse
the underground door below the subway that starts doomsday
