I am the Silent Bob Ghostbuster in those scenes in Reboot. I spent a week in New Orleans on set with my wife (the Jay Ghostbuster) and our friends filming the Chronic Con scenes.

Damn. Good on you for being so demanding. You shouldn’t have needed to be, but it’s good that you did. Now I wish that I wasn’t so patient with Eaglemoss. - Paul

Yes they did. I’m sorry you didn’t get them. The only way I got them was contacting support every week and tracking my shipments and parts.

Many times they weren’t even going to give me anything. Til I demanded a shipping date and amount that was coming out of my card. I just kept doing it. And I was so close to getting the gurney and light bars. 3 weeks they refused to take my money. I kept calling. They wouldn’t send me anything. And yeah I knew something was up. That was back around June.

Hi Michael

Wait a minute… Are you telling me that Eaglemoss actually produced magazines #28 through #33, with car parts #103 through #126???

- Paul

I also have been doing this model. The first year was great.
I was lucky enough to get to 33/34 before they took a crap.
So I have all of the car.
I’m currently printing the roof rack at home.
I just have to say overall I can’t believe that a company like this has not had the decency to alert the customers. Die hard fans like us putting a parts model together for 2 years now, faithfully paying each time even for the garbage extras! And we get nothing. No warning no alert no communication.
Absolutely just about the nastiest thing you can do. Leave us in the dark and just remove everything. I’ve never seen something like this before. I’m still in disbelief that a company can do this. There’s nothing to be done. I’m sure somewhere down the line someone will try this again. Maybe they’ll get it right. Til then I’ll be 3d printing my last parts and I’m so sorry for the fans that didn’t get to complete at least the car.

Here are the locations of the magazine and newspaper covers in Ghostbusters II.

-Chapter 13
–Rudy is reading the Star Saves Mayor variant. The Star Saves Judge was never used in the movie but I think was only on display in the midwest sometime.

-Chapter 16:
–Peter’s apartment desk are just GB1 ones: New York Post, USA Today, and Time
–When Janine is closing up shop for the day, in Peter’s office in the back are the Life, New York Post Saves Judge, Time, and Motor Trend. The rest are from GB1; Time, USA Today, Atlantic Monthly, and Omni.

I’ve noticed that in the GBII TV cut at 1:25:16 when Vigo gets shot by the proton streams, that his growls have some sort of scream filtered over them. - Noah

I’ve been looking at the Stripes soundtrack to look for the apartment arrival scene music but I can’t seem to find it. Are you sure it’s from Stripes?

Nevermind, I found it. From the track V-J-R.

Thanks for noticing that, Brett. An update has been added to the article. - Paul

It doesn’t say ‘enidt’ but rather “senior” with the ’s’ being cut off. It’s also smudged. It refers to her grade. Notice it says she’s a 4 year player to her soccer team.

Maybe moving the Slinky was Egon’s first attempt at contact in the lab then he went with the lamp. :P

Ah, cool. No rush. I didn’t see your response before I sent you a message. So…just ignore that one.

Eventually, large images of the packaging will be added to the reference library section of Spook Central. I don’t know when I will get the chance to do that. It’s not a high priority for me right now. - Paul

I don’t suppose you could do high quality scans of the front and back of this set ? The pictures you posted were kind of small.

I’m really pumped for finding the full version of the first song that’s heard in the 1983 trailer! The way it sounds really makes me believe that it’s a pretty damn awesome song to drive fast to! If I could mod the soundtrack of my racing games, this would be one of many countless songs that I would add into the race bgm!

My wife managed to snag me a copy before they all sold out and I really love the set. It’s disappointing though how much stuff is missing though for GB2 and Afterlife. Where’s the rest of the deleted scenes? And I’d love that three hour cut of Afterlife.

Thanks, Michael. In the dark recesses of my mind, I knew the name, but it just wasn’t coming forth. Google was of no help as a reminder. - Paul

Dan Mumford did the Best Buy Steelbook covers.

Hi Seth

The answer is NO. There is 25 years worth of free content already on Spook Central. Is that not good enough for you? The work that I’ve done for the past 25 years on Spook Central as a curator, writer, and more, has been enjoyed by so many, yet very few of these people have actually PAID me for my work. I can no longer work for free given that Spook Central is my primary job. While I may not legally own most of the content, it doesn’t appear on the site all by itself. It takes a lot of hard work and money to acquire all of these materials and convert them into a format that can be shared with others online. Making select materials available only to those people who support my work is the alternative to making ALL of Spook Central only available to those who support my efforts.

– Paul

Is there any chance that this may become free to download at some point? Being that a new release of the films has/is coming out with Ghostbusters Afterlife and all. Not that I don’t appreciate the work you do to preserve these lost pieces of media, I really do respect that. I just think it’s been long enough that the download should be free to the public.

Faaaantastic stuff, as always. Thank you for posting!!

Did anyone else notice jumpiness around the 4:07 mark on The Old College Spirit? It’s very noticeable on Janine.

I’m so glad you archived that!

Muddy Water plays at the start of when Callie is gathering supplies in Wertheimer Hardware, around 19:58 into the movie.

I have made a video explaining how this film serves as both and ending for one team and the beginning for another team. https://youtu.be/kfQzRiYfbUo

Haha, don’t mind it! That was one of my stupid questions! ;D ;D

I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you that in my spare time I’m enjoying making my own mix of the soundtrack of the first film.
I take what I need from all three soundtracks (bootleg, Varese and Sony).

Plus: I’m fixing Ray Parker’s Ghostbusters as you listen to it at the beginning of the film after the attack on Alice the librarian and on the “montage” scene (it’s all cut and paste parts of the extended version, parts of the instrumental version, parts of the single version), I’m also fixing Cleanin’ up the town as it is on the scene of the escape from the library and after the alarm call (again it’s all cut and paste of the single version and the rare longer version), then I insert the parts of Savin’ the day where they must be.
I’m also trying to modify Magic by Mick Smiley, unfortunately there is no instrumental version around.

I want to point out that I am not a professional but I am involved in music and I have always liked to dabble in audio and video editing.

You’re gonna say, “What the hell are you doing?”
:D :D
There are those who have fun in one way and those who have fun in others…I go crazy with this! Haha

I hope to do a good job, then if you want, at the end of the job, I’d like to send you the files to listen to.

Cheers

David

P.S. In case I apologize for my English, I try to write both through my knowledge and with the help of the machine translator!

Hi David

I never really gave it much thought, but I would think that a week or two passes, much like Winston says. We just don’t see much passage of time, but I don’t think it all happens as quickly as two days… even if it does seem like it.

– Paul

Hello Paul!

I’m reading the book, few days ago I buy the kindle version…the print is dead! 😃

I don’t know where is the right place where to write this thing that follow…but I would like to ask you an opinion: did you ever stop and think about how many time REALLY passes between the hire of Winston and the battle with Gozer?

I’ll explain better: during the meeting with Lenny the mayor, Winston introduces himself saying that is with Ghostbusters since “a couple of weeks"…but is it true?

If you strictly follow the events in the movie from the end of the “montage": the hire, the same night the assault of Vinz Clortho and the date of Peter and possessed Dana, the next morning the visit of Walter Peck that brings to the containment unit explosion which follows the arrest of the Ghostbusters and then the meeting with the mayor, it seems to me that passes no more than how much? Two or three days?

Am I wrong with this thing?
What do you think about it?

Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the kind words, David. It’s interesting to see how we grew up way apart from each other, and yet had similar experiences with Ghostbusters as kids. - Paul

Good job, David. – Paul
