Thread: Ghostbuster Costume for 2009

Tweet

Well, seeing that this year is the 25th Anniversary of the classic comedy, GHOSTBUSTERS, I decided to build my own prop Proton Pack, the main tool of the Ghostbusting trade

Anyone else plan on doing it this year?
It's not very hard; but it does help to have some skill w/ power tools
It will take about 10 to 14 days if you take your time - and it does'nt have to be 100% screen accurate. You can use MDF board for the "Motherboard".

And the flight suit can be bought for cheap.
Khaki, tan, or navy blue flight suits/coveralls can all be found at your local " Army / Navy " store for around $20 to $30.
The elbow pads are just dyed grey or black soccer knee pads - $10 @ Target. Most Army/Navy stores will also carry the web-ammo belt for around $10

If so, I can put up links directing you to the best source for plans, blueprints and parts lists to build your own Proton Pack!

Here's a start: GBfans - Community - Ghostbusters Fans

Hey Joker,

I'm a member of their at the GBfans site. I am working on adding to my look this year. Building Ecto Goggles and a Ghost Trap. I should have some more pics up this weekend. Would love to see your pack if you have pics.

Joker and alucard, I'm a member of GBFans, as well. Not only do I have the complete uniform, pack, trap, etc., I was also lucky enough to find a group to do events with.

My husband and I have been considering doing this the past two Halloweens. You guys are awesome but I want to see photos!!!

I think these updated Ghostbuster costumes from the Citroen C3 tv ad look cool

YouTube - pub Citroën C3 Picasso Ghostbusters 2009

UK, I remember when that commercial came out. It caused alot of fear on the GBFans board that if a Ghostbusters 3 were to come out, that this was the new direction. Obviously, we know now it's a Citroen commercial, but it was still fun!

Mel: Here are a few pictures of myself in my Ghostbusters' gear.

And the guys behind the gear (I'm on the left, Dustin on the right) and our ride:


I have TONS more, but this is a good start! Oh, and Danny Aykroyd signed our packs, which you can see inside the car.

Those pics are fabulous, it must have been amazing meeting your idol. Love the hooters bumper stickers lol

Sweet ride, guys! The Ectomobile looks great!!!

That's awesome!

I love it, too cool! Great job on the car & the packs. Thanks for sharing. I have always liked the Ghostbuster movies.
