Let These Ghostbusters Nerds Take You On A Guided Tour Of NYC's Ghostbusters Locations

The result is a pretty servicey guide for fellow fans of the film, including eight stops which took about six hours to travel to... this includes breaks, getting lost, and an occasional run in with Zuul. more ›

The Keymaster Is In Manhattan, Searching For The Gatekeeper

The Keymaster Is In Manhattan, Searching For The Gatekeeper

Over in Greenwich Village, someone is in search of the Gatekeeper, and our money's on the Keymaster. Have you seen this demigod around? She may also answer to the name "Zuul," but given she has the ability to possess human hosts and then change into native form whenever necessary, it may be tough to track this one down. However, without Peter Venkmen around, we're going to need to do our best, New York. So be on watch, because if these two find each other and open the door for Gozer, things are gonna get weird around these parts. more ›

The <em>Ghostbusters</em> Firehouse Could Be Shut Down!

The FDNY needs to cut something to make its next budget and once again that something seems to be firehouses. Among the 20 firehouses on the chopping block? No less than the Hook & Ladder No. 8 Firehouse, which you might remember from such films as Ghostbusters.

Bill Murray Has In His Possession One Ghostbusters III Script

Bill Murray Has In His Possession One Ghostbusters III Script

Bill Murray called in to the Howard Stern show this week and talked a little Ghostbusters III with the host, saying, "There's a script somewhere [on my desk], but I haven't read it yet. I feel bad." We'd feel like this might be a tease but if Murray hasn't read it, then Murray hasn't written it, nor was he involved in writing it—so how good can it be? He added, "You know, the studio gets excited every 10 years or so. What they'd really like to do is recreate the franchise. I remember when the new Ghostbusters was going to be Chris Rock, Chris Farley and... someone." more ›

Stay Puft Marshmallows Now A Reality!

Stay Puft Marshmallows Now A Reality!

We love everything Ghostbusters related, from the collectible firepoles to the videogames, from Dan Akroyd's UFO rants to Improv Everywhere's re-creation. And while we're not holding our breath for Ghostbusters III anytime soon, there is one Ghostbusters item above all others that we've been craving since 1984: Stay Puft marshmallows! And now they're real, and improbably, filled with 100mg of caffeine, which just adds to the thrill of living out one's giant NYC-crushing Stay Puft Marshmallow Man dreams.

$2.9MM For Ghostbusters Fire Pole (Plus a House)

Apparently anyone that's anyone is living out in Palisades, New York. Björk Gudmundsdottir (better known by just her first name) was selling her home there last year, and Al Pacino, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Harvey Keitel are (or have been) residents. Oh, and Didi Conn—who you know as Frenchie in Grease—is now selling her home there. The NY Times reports that the home, once owned by Bill Murray, has about 5,000 square feet on about 2 acres, and Conn and her composer husband are asking $2.9 million. more ›

Ghostbusters Primed for Comeback with New Game

Ghostbusters Primed for Comeback with New Game

How many Ghostbutsters video games does the world need? Guess one more can't hurt. The NY Times has an interesting little piece on Dan Aykroyd and also reports that Atari "has approached Ghostbusters: the Video Game as a major production in its own right. In a reversal of the traditional entertainment food chain, the game, to be released June 16, will come to market even as planning for the long-awaited third Ghostbusters film remains in the earliest stages. The expectation is that the game will both revitalize and expand interest in the franchise ahead of a new movie." The company is promoting the game as having been written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, but the latter says, “The crassest way I can put it is that they couldn’t have paid us enough to give it the time and attention required to make it as funny as a feature film.” Though the Times says it is actually quite funny, and the graphics don't look half bad either—just check out this trailer. more ›

Video: Dan Aykroyd Tells Jersey Drinkers He's Seen UFOs

If providing the citizens of New Jersey with a new brand of vodka that comes packaged in a plastic skull wasn't enough to get them seeing stars, Dan Aykroyd has given local extraterrestrial believers some additional fuel to their speculative fire. While making a promotional appearance in Morris Plains in support of his new Crystal Head vodka, Aykroyd was asked about the recent UFO hoax in the Garden State. He said that he was glad to see the story because, as he put it, "It draws attention to the real cases. I've seen two of them." more ›

Ghostbusters Sure Know How to Draw Up Holiday Business

Ghostbusters Sure Know How to Draw Up Holiday Business

A Staten Island church has been having so much unexplained activity going on within its doors that it has decided to call upon real-life ghostbusters from the Eastern Paranormal Investigation Center. The pastor of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Reverend Michael Delaney, described the scene to the Daily News, "All of a sudden the chimes were ringing. The candle over the tabernacle was dancing like there was a major wind. But there was no wind. And we heard what sounded like a tin dish hitting the floor." The ghostbusters are bringing in high-tech equipment including an ion emitter because one of the group's co-founders Arthur Matos says, "Ions are like food for ghosts. They use a prevalent amount of ions to show themselves." When asked by SI Live when the group would release its findings from its trip to the church on its website, Matos told them, "They should be up in time for Halloween." more ›

Ramis Confirms <em>Ghostbusters III</em>

Ramis Confirms Ghostbusters III

Last week rumors started swirling around the making of Ghostbusters III, and now Harold Ramis has confirmed some of them. He says, "Yes, Columbia is developing a script for GB3. Judd Apatow has made several other films for Sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. Aykroyd, Ivan Reitman and I are consulting at this point, and according to Dan, Bill Murray is willing to be involved on some level. The concept is that the old Ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. Not much else to say at this point. Everyone is confident a decent script can be written and I guess we'll take it from there." [via Pop Candy] more ›

Ghostbusters out of Retirement, Rumors Include Rogen

This Friday brings good news, as Variety is reporting that the Ghostbusters are making their way back to the big screen. This isn't some thrown together, B-list, straight-to-DVD sequel, either. They say "the studio has set The Office co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson." No word on yet on whether or not they'll be going to hell in this one, but other rumors surrounding the third installment are running rampant. more ›
