I’ve been doing Ghostbusters props, off and on, for years. People who went to midnight s screenings of Ghostbusters at the Plaza Maplewood or Brookdale 8 theaters about 10 years ago may remember the manager with the [ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) on display. That was me, and I still have that trap kicking around (or parts of it that weren’t recycled, anyway). I also built a petition pack, but Gozer only knows where it is these days (long story). By day I’m a vfx artist these days and more then happy to help bring some digital magic to any fan films out there. I should have my new site up soon (changing companies to go with the cross-country move back to MN). I love props because it’s nice to actually build something physical. ---

Welcome back, I used to go to the Brookdale 8 all the time back when the mall was still there…anyways if you doing a pack build anytime soon, let me know I am building one too could use some help from someone with experience. ---

I’m working on one as we speak, actually. I’m using a laser cuter at the Hack Factory to cut out some of the pieces. It’s working a treat! ---

I’m pretty sure I went to a Brookdale 8 screening of Ghostbusters many many many years ago. I had a [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), and won a free copy of Ghostbusters on DVD. Does that ring a bell? ---

Yup. I was stuck running the theater so didn’t see the DVD, but I remember the costume. ---
