By Paul Rudoff on Dec. 14, 2017 at 6:37 PM , Categories: Ghostbusters 1, Ghostbusters 2, Books, The 2016 Parody Remake
Ghostbusters: Answer The Call (2016). Just the mere mention of the name can cause some people to froth at the mouth. No movie has ever been as polarizing as Paul Feig's disasterpiece. Hell, not even The Phantom Menace - with its "Mannequin" Skywalker,… more »

All Images Redone From Ghostbusters 1 & 2 Blu-rays
By Paul Rudoff on Sep. 23, 2015 at 11:30 PM , Categories: Spook Central, Ghostbusters 1, Ghostbusters 2
