From Apr. 18, 2020 to Nov. 17, 2021, I had been reviewing the "Build The Ghostbusters Ecto-1" model subscription from Eaglemoss, through their Hero Collector imprint. Back in July 2022, Eaglemoss went out of business, leaving many subscribers to the build-as-you-go model in the lurch. To add insult to injury, Eaglemoss never contacted any customers at all! The company just simply disappeared one day. Read on to learn more...

Here at Spook Central, there is an entire category of articles detailing references to Ghostbusters, as well as a selection of articles looking at the movies and shows that Ghostbusters drew inspiration from, and starting today, there will be some articles about the things that the Ghostbusters franchise itself makes reference to.

Back in 2009, Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released by Atari to great acclaim. Not only was it a game worthy of the name "Ghostbusters", but it was a damn good movie-based game, too. In order for the game to be that good, it had to have a good story behind it. Through various sources, Spook Central has managed to acquire several drafts of the MASSIVE script for the game.

In late 2007, Game Informer magazine presented the exclusive first look at Ghostbusters: The Video Game in their December 2007 issue, which was released in November 2007. If you bought the physical magazine from a GameStop store, you'd get to read an article all about the game, with exclusive photos and quotes from Dan Aykroyd. If you were a GameStop member, you had the extra benefit of being granted access to the Game Informer website where more exclusive content awaited. Since this extra content was locked behind a paywall, the Internet Archive couldn't archive it... but I did! Read on to find out more...

I just purchased this Ghostbusters II 8x10 publicity photo showing Peter and Ray talking to Rudy, the museum guard, in the museum lobby. This deleted scene would have appeared in the film after the guys meet Peter outside the museum, but before they go up to the restoration room to examine the Vigo painting. The 300dpi scan (3000x2300) of the 8x10 photo is a VIP EXCLUSIVE for the time being.
