Ghostbusters Official Fan Club

I remember filling out that application myself. Thought it was strange that my sleeping habits were part of the questionnaire, but I still answered with a write-in; No, 6 feet under.

Hey, I was a kid. I thought it was clever at the time.

I’m “only” a week late in posting about this over at GB Inc. I had been wanting to know and see more about the official Ghostbusters fan club for years. I credited you, that blog, and Peter Mosen.

I didn’t “lift” the certificate as I wouldn’t post that without asking and I really want as many people who are interested to be able to read your fantastic post about the once official club.

I share in any sentiment about sharing those magazines. I speculate about why we haven’t seen them on-line by now. It seems unbelievable with the number of ghostheads part of the “community” between the ’90s and today. Hopefully sooner then later.

Thanks again. 8)

Thanks for the nice write-up on GB Inc. I appreciate that you didn’t re-post the certificate. Although not explicitly stated in the article, I would like that to be “exclusive” to SC (just like the GB2 group photo in the Shot on Site Armand’s article). Sure, I could have watermarked it, but I wanted to keep it clean for those who may actually want to print it out.

Peter Mosen added Ray’s “signature” to it, which wasn’t in the original certificate. While I could have clean out the signature to make it look exactly like the one fan club members would receive, I thought Ray’s “signature” make it look more “authentic", so I left it in.

Yeah, I’m a little surprised the fan club newsletters haven’t been seen online EVER! I think you may be right when you said that most fan club members probably threw them out. That said, I do have to wonder if any are sitting in some people’s attics in boxes; long forgotten with the other stuff collecting dust up there :-)

You’re welcome, its great to read about it and this type of news fits in well with Ghostbusters Incorporated.

I understand about exclusives (my sites don’t have many) and no worries from me about posting/hosting that certificate or your Shot On Site pictures.

Oh ok I thought Ray’s “signature” was original. I would have left it too as its sorta original as it came from the era and the source is Peter Mosen.

I’m trying to find out if copies of the newsletters are around. If they are, would those Ghostbusters fans and original club members want to share them. Like we’ve been saying who knows if they were kept or stored away.

Maybe one of those public domain sites that share archived periodicals could have it.

Thank you for this site! so great. Does anyone know the exact questions for the job application? I would love to give them to the kids in our neighborhood for Halloween.

The fan club has been out of business for 30+ years.

Hi, about the certificate, do you know if there is any current copyright protecting it from reproduction?

As long as you’re not making money off of it, you’ll be fine.
