Hello Everyone! I’ve always been a fan of the Ghostbusters, ever since I saw it in the theatres 30 years ago. Always wanted a proton pack, ghost trap & all the ecoutrements of being a paranormal investigator - this year, for whatever reason, I’ve finally decided to act on this desire just in time for Halloween. Perhaps it’s because of the 30th anniversary, or maybe it’s because I feel like I’m getting old, or perhaps it’s because my kids have fallen in love with the Ghostbusters as well & I finally have a great reason to dress up like one of the boys in Grey! Anyways, I’ve been lurking on this site (like many others!) for a number of years, and have finally built up the courage to say hi! I live in Toronto, ON & I’m heartened to see such an awesome community supporting itself online through these forums. I’ve learned a ton about prop building through the many artists and craftspeople on this site and have begun my own construction of a scratch built proton pack, ecto goggles, and traps. My youngest and I are dressing up as Ghostbusters this Halloween & I hope to share some pictures about the process and finished products in the days to come.
Here’s a little sample of the “budget pack” I’ve crafted for my 4 year old: (with thanks to Gareee & n0c00lgamertag for the inspiration)
Thank you guys for being such an invaluable resource of knowledge and advice on all things Ghostbusters related!
