Ghostbusters

Are you spooked from strange sounds in the night?
Are flying furniture part of your every day life?
Are you getting visited by your grandma, who died many years ago?
Who are you gonna call?

Movie Info

Ghostbusters was released in theaters in June 1984, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, and Ernie Hudson. It is a sci-fi comedy film about three eccentric New York City parapsychologists. After they are fired from a university, they start their own business investigating and capturing ghosts.

What is a Ghostbuster

The main equipment used by the Ghostbusters to capture ghosts is the Proton Pack: a reportedly unlicensed nuclear accelerator which fires a proton stream that polarizes with the negatively charged energy of a ghost allowing it to be held in the stream while active. It consists of a hand-held gun connected to a backpack-sized particle accelerator (“Proton Pack”).

For containment, the Ghostbusters use the portable Ghost Trap. The Trap is a box with a split, hinged lid, remote-controlled by a simple pedal switch, attached to the end of the box by a long cable. When a ghost is brought close to the trap (usually by means of the proton pack, though not necessarily), the ghost trap is activated by the foot switch. Its lid then opens, and a force field draws the ghost inside. When the ghost is captured the trap emits smoke and a strong, bad smell. Characters are advised to refrain from looking directly at the trap when it is activated. The ghost can then be transported to the larger, more permanent containment unit.

The Ghostbusters also use equipment to hunt and find ghosts, such as a PKE meter, Ecto-Goggles, and a Ghost Sniffer. A PKE meter is a handheld device, used in locating and measuring Psycho-Kinetic Energy, which is a unique environmental byproduct emitted by ghosts. The device’s most prominent feature are winged arms that raise and lower in relation to the amount of PKE detected while a digital display gives an exact reading for the operator. Ecto-Goggles, sometimes known as “Spectro-Visors”, are a special pair of goggles that visually trace PKE readings. They are particularly useful in helping its wearer see normally invisible ghosts and it can also be used to assist in tracking ghosts within a visible field of search.

For transportation, the Ghostbusters use the modified Caddilac called Ecto-1. Normally a Ghostbuster is wearing a boiler suit, but modern times and hot weather, have inspired alternative costumes. The most important part of the costume, is off course the Ghostbusters logo.
