I have just mailed out a holiday gift to all eligible Spook Central VIPs, which is everyone who has been a VIP from this past January (or earlier) through December. If that includes you, and you want to be surprised when you receive the package, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER!!! Here's an animated gif of the Mini Pufts making S'mores of themselves from Ghostbusters: Afterlife to act as a buffer between you and the photos below of the holiday gifts.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - Teaser Trailer Review / Breakdown

The first trailer, officially called a "Teaser Trailer", for the new Ghostbusters movie came out today. The film has been titled Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in the United States, Ghostbusters: Frozen City in Sweden, Ghostbusters: Arendelle in the Disneyverse, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Summer in Japan. I'm sure there will be a few more alternate titles in other countries, likely all with "Frozen" in them, which will make this guy very proud. I'm going to share my thoughts on the teaser trailer in a sort-of running commentary form, though I won't go over every single shot. BE FOREWARNED: THERE MAY BE SOME MINOR PLOT SPOILERS IF YOU KEEP READING, though at this early stage, I doubt that I will be able to infer very much from what little we know so far.

The 1994 theatrical film The Mask starring Jim Carrey - and not a deformed Eric Stoltz - is a love letter to the animated classics of Tex Avery and Looney Tunes. It also has some interesting connections to Ghostbusters. Read on to find out more...
Ghostbusters: Answer The Call 2016 Call Sheets & Script Pages - Plus Transcript

MrMichaelT not only provided us with a written transcript (in rtf format) of Ghostbusters: Answer The Call (2016), but he also found some call sheets and script pages for the film, too. I didn't think the studio was still producing printed scripts and production materials at the time, but these papers prove otherwise. Perhaps one day a complete script for the film, and maybe even Afterlife, will magically show up.
