I’m not sure how hard it was to make, but the creator may not have even had to bake it. Maybe she just thought about something that could never possibly destroy us. Something innocent and pure. It probably just popped into her mind…

To be honest, unless Pac-Man’s ghosts run very fast, they don’t stand a chance against the Ghostbusters with their proton packs. Though once they are stored in the ghost trap, they might be able to escape when they stop being blue.

The prints are available for £22 ($35 USD) from Raid71′s Emporium and they ship worldwide. All profits from the sale of these and other Raid71 prints go to the Royal Manchester’s Cancer Charity, since the artist received extensive support and care from them, and wanted to give something back.

The cosplayer was part of a crew of Ghostbusters, but he stood out from the crowd of Venkman, Stantz and Spengler as much as Ernie Hudson did in the original movie. Apparently, the pack took about six months to make and weighs about 45 pounds. It lights up and even needs a bit of calibration between ghostbusting sessions.

I don’t know if the the real Ghostbusters would be that impressed, but cosplayers everywhere are loving it.

These pillows are made by JezebelRose and you can have your own for $150, which is expensive, but they take between 3 to 6 weeks to complete, so you’re getting your money’s worth. These proton packs are made to order, so you’ll probably be the only one that has one on your block. With a few friends, you can probably assemble your own Ghostbusters squad.

The trap doesn’t come with the proton pack, so you’ll have to get that separately here for $40. All in all, these are the best (the only?) Ghostbusters-themed pillows I’ve ever seen.

So who did they call to make this cake? Charm City Cakes, who are no strangers to strange requests. They made the 3 ft. tall skyscraper out of pumpkin-cinnamon cake frosted with butter cream, while the church rubble was made of Rice Krispies treats. Stay Puft and the couple – who naturally served as the Ghostbusters – were made of fondant. As a neat touch, the proton streams lit up:

To top it all off, the couple and their guests later danced to a remix of the Ghostbusters theme song. They would not have been able to do the same had they gone with their other choices for the cake – Jaws, Indiana Jones or Alien.

No one I suppose, unless said person is a committing a crime, in which case you’ll be having a once in a lifetime chat with a 911 operator. Personally, I’d go and ask the wearer if the mask feels as constricting as it looks. The officially licensed (as if that makes things less ridiculous) Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ski mask is available at 80s Tees for $20 (USD).

The Ghost Trap tee is available at Meninos for $31 (USD). Proton pack not included.

This incredibly detailed Ghostbusters LEGO diorama features minifig versions of Venkman, Spengler, Stantz and Zeddmore putting their Proton Packs to use on their giant marshmallowy nemesis. Funny thing is, this isn’t the only Stay Puft LEGO diorama, as is evidenced by this photo taken at LEGOLAND in California several years back…

It’s a strange world we live in, no?

This wii-mote is the work of Jack, and he really loves Ghostbusters. After having playing with his Ghostbusters video game, he set himself the task of transforming his wii-mote into a particle thrower.

The particle thrower connects to a matching proton pack! Now that’s pretty cool! For a minute there, I wasn’t sure if it was connected to something. Obviously it is!

Here’s how Jack describes his mod:

“The cyclotron features four blue LEDs allowing you to know which player is selected or active and the Blue Power Cell actually shows you how much power the pack has. The Thrower has been carefully designed in regards to ergonomics and function. The front of the wand has an area in which you can place the Wii-mote and the back handle is where the Nunchuck is placed. Since the Wii-mote has in internal speaker in it’s ABS housing, when playing the game the pack makes all the iconic Ghostbusters SFX.”

The entire costume–you didn’t think it was just the Proton Pack, did you?–took Instructables ghostbustin’ guru depotdevoid two years to perfect. Not two entire years, mind you, but two years of costume-compiling. I can’t say I blame him; if I made a costume this awesome, I’d wear it every year.

A khaki flight suit, lasers (!), props, and an Arduino are the key elements required to build your own Ghostbusters costume, though I also recommend such luxuries as time and enthusiasm. However, from the instructions, it seems like just about any big Ghostbusters fan could put this together, if they were dedicated enough… thanks to the handy guide, anyway.

I think the unnatural movements in the footage are actually more pronounced because the characters look so good! Oh well–so long as the story has that classic Ghostbusters humor, the game will probably be worth looking into. We’ve got (almost) all the original talent; all that remains is to see if we’ve got all the original laughs.

Here’s the opening:

The game is slated for release this June, the same week the original films are due to be released on Blu-Ray.

Ever wonder how Darth Vader keeps his helmet so shiny and squeaky clean? Now you have your answer:

Star Wars not your thing? That’s okay, Glenn doesn’t discriminate, as he proves with this Star Trek starship-in-a-bottle design:

When there’s something strange in your living room, who ya gonna call? GhostDustBusters! (Ooh, that sucked.)

Jenga anyone?

Kids too young to remember Optimus Prime? That’s okay, now that Thomas the Transformer is here:
