So, How many NCGBs do we have on this site???
Don’t disappoint me guys.
North Carolina GB fans or franchises?
- CNCGB -
Hello, I’m Will Boyer. Well, there are at least two franchises I know of - my group, the Central North Carolina Ghostbusters (although our members have lived in King and Thomasville, we’re otherwise the Winston Salem Chapter since we can’t hold exclusive rights to the central portion of this state 
). You can check us out at the following websites, to list only a few:
MySpace Page - Central North carolina Ghostbusters (cncgb) on Myspace
Deviant Art Site - http://cncgb.deviantart.com
CNCGB Webcomic - http://cncgb.smackjeeves.com
- WNCGB
The Western North Carolina Ghostbusters, coming before my group, is lead and comprised of Kyle Peterson. This is why we chose to call ourselves the Central North Carolina Ghostbusters. It just made sense. Kyle has a website but I’m not sure what it is. Otherwise his deviant art account and myspace accounts are linked up to CNCGB. On deviant art, for example, he is LonelyImmortal.
- There are also at least 4 OTHER people in North Carolina that dress up in Flightsuits for fun with proton packs like my group and Kyle’s. I don’t think they’ve gone as far as we have and made up fan groups. Chrisakamagic - if I spelled his username correctly - is one of them. There are several more and I have not met most of them.
So, tell us about yourself?
welcome to the site guys. i am also from NC. I now live in Concord, NC and its good to see someone from hickory. if got a few friends in hickory. Hope you guys like the site. def should get something together for NC ghostbusters.
My dad did live in King, NC but has now moved but I def. know where that is. My fiance’s family lives really close to hanes mall. In fact her father does payroll for Haynes underwear in Winson-salem.
I would love to be a part of a group. Somepeople to help me figure out how to make a proton pack. I can’t follow drawings, i need hands on expeirence.
Keep in touch guys.
I agree - well, with everything, but let me be specific, ha. Proton packs - I need to be taught by doing as well. I made one out of a vaccuum cleaner but it’s ■■■■ and a the cyclotron pan is held on by electrical tape. Sure, it certainly looks pieced together haphazardly like in the movies, but … wow, it looks like ■■■■. I can’t believe most people I’ve met out while wearing it actually comment that it looks movie authentic! lol (Because it doesn’t).
Well, my friends and I created the Central NC group as you probably read above, and there’s no reason why we wouldn’t be interested in expanding or compromising for other groups or new members in the central area… We’re definitely open, but you might find it easier to put something together closer to Concord. That’s like 2 hours away from Winston Salem, right? Anyway, that was one thing we should have thought about before claiming the whole central portion of NC as a part of our name, but oh well. It’s all in good fun. So, whether it’s to form a group or not, it’d be cool to get as many NC buster fans together sometime…
I’ve got something to say about that that I’d like to share. I’ve been interested for some time in creating a fan film but, you know, there are always problems - actors bailing out, expenses and budget problems, bad schedules - stuff like that has happened to me. But I put out a want add for help on films within the past month and got someone who builds proton packs and is training in college to work on digital special effects for live action movies - like me as a part of my animation degree - and he seems fairly serious and enthusiastic about doing something. I figure that if we get as many like minded available people together that we can actually make something fairly decent. I’m thinking a Ghostbusters International story in which several Ghostbusters from different franchise teams are brought together during a string of seemingly unconnected events that lead up to some sort of final confrontation with a supernatural force. With that in mind, we can have well over four Ghostbusters but our supernatural villain is going to have to be the baddest of bad to have that many busters face the thing. And with enough busters it wouldn’t matter necessarily if we had to replace one, which is sadly what happened for my last movie - the main actor didn’t pull through for his last few shots in one room, and I had relied so heavily on him that I couldn’t see making the movie with anyone else, so the project was sent to, well, Limbo indefinitely.
Since there hasn;t been a post by the wnc ghostbusters since 2005, I’m jumping claim to the name, at least here.
I live in the NC Triad area also, I am about 90% done with my pack and I think it looks pretty good. Its my first attempt at making a replica. Although I followed all 3 plans, Stephan’s, Norm’s and Sean’s as a guidelines for shape and dimensions, I took “frugal” and “artistic” liberties on things like fittings and hoses. To be honest, it looks great and if I had the spare $ I would have invested in Clippard and Legris parts. For now old plumbing and automotive parts will do just fine and IMHO share the spirit of that “garage-made” look from the original Movie. I hope to share some pictures of the pack soon. I would LOVE to work with some folks on pack builds. I, by no stretch of the imagination, consider myself an expert or guru on this kind of thing. However, if I had this much fun working solo, I can’t imagine what working with a group would be like!

Wherre is the NC triad area? We are in western NC, over by Cherokee.
The Triad is the Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem area of NC. Your probably 2hrs from us. I think some of these other guys posting are pretty local, within 20 mins to an hour. Either way it’s awesome to know other Ghostheads and prop modelers are in NC. 
Gareee man, don’t you remember 4th grade social studies at all? it was all about NC. I’m really suprised you didn’t know where the triad is. do you know where the Queen city is? or do you know what the capital is? lol just fucking with you man
Queen city? Isn’t that LA now? 
Anyone lay claim the the Ft. Bragg area yet?
Not that I know of.. maybe a ENC (Eastern NC) group would make sense.. I think there are a few guys over that way in various locations as well.
ENC sucks, i lived there for a very long 8 months
Some people told us Western NC sucked as well.. but we love it here.
Sorry everybody. I didn’t see this post until after I placed mine. I’m in Waynesville, I don’t have all the fancy props and other items but I’m still a fan. The only time my car comes close to looking like Ecto is when I get slime from the tree sap on it.
Too bad you didn’t show up last week! We ended up short the driver in the maggie valley parade, and coulda used you!
Ah well… we’ll have to get together one of these days, and spook up some fun..
It probably wouldn’t have been a good idea for me to drive. They would have needed Ghostbusters for the Ghostbusters…
LOL… well, it worked out ok as it was, but it would have been better to have two walkers instead of one walker and one driver.. 8(
There’s always next year!
Knightdale (Eastern) NC here.
Derp derp :B
NC here. I’m going to claim Raleigh area(there all the time). Even though I’m really 60 miles to the north. Maybe we’ll organize something one day. My dream is to have an Ecto-1. It has to be a Caddy though. I want to get an Ecto and then we’d really have a KICKA!@#$ franchise!
