Free The Real Ghostbusters Friday: Episode 39 "Drool, The Dog-Faced Goblin"

I was always very struck by the episode. One reason was some of the amazing visual forms the main antagonist takes on. The monster in the closet is especially frightening for RGB.

Free The Real Ghostbusters Friday: Episode 73 "Egon's Ghost"

This week I decided to go for what I feel is one of the darker RGB episodes "Egon's Ghost".  

This episode begins with the belief that Egon has been destabilized completely, but in truth what it feels like is that Egon has died. Let me just repeat that, this episode flirts with the notion of Egon's death.  

 

  Yeah, children of the world I'm sure had a similar experience. Throw in demons and the Netherworld and what settles is a rather grim episode. Will Egon return?

Free The Real Ghostbusters Friday: Episode 90 "The Grundel"

For this Friday we look at the scary side of The Real Ghostbusters with episode 90 "The Grundel".

The Real Ghostbusters was always spooky show but it was a fun kind of spooky, like school haunted house. But on a handful of occasions the show became outright frightening and this episode was perhaps the most troubling. This episode, and its antagonist, actually scared me when I was younger. The idea of a monster that would knock on your window and attempt to draw you out had too much of a child abductor vibe to it for me to sleep soundly. Still to this day, when I hear a creak in my house, I wonder if the Grundel is near.

Free The Real ghostbusters Friday: Episode 66 "Rollerghoster"

We're back with another episode from The Real Ghostbusters. Let's get straight into it, episode 66 "Rollerghoster".

Free The Real Ghostbusters Friday: Episode 11 "Citizen Ghost'

Free The Real Ghostbusters Friday is where we showcase episodes from The Real Ghostbusters, the animated 'Ghostbusters' series that ran for six season. For many born after 1984 this may very well have been the first exposure to Ghostbusters. The show proved successful and lead the way for a marketing machine that held youth domain over the show's run. You couldn't turn around without seeing toys to toothpaste with the RGB insignia. We will choose episodes that help reflect the best of the series and explain how it affected us. Today's curator is M.E. Strange for Episode 11 from season one titled "Citizen Ghost":

I choose "Citizen Ghost" for the first "FRGBF" because I feel it best encapsulates 

the series, or at least season one. Unlike the first episode, "Ghosts R Us", this episode 

picks up straight from the first Ghostbusters film and ties the entire series together. It feels 

like this was planned to be the pilot for the series but wasn't aired for some reason. 
This episode was written by J. Michael Straczynski, famed Sci-Fi TV writer who worked not only as a writer for the first season of RGB but also as the head story editor. This is one of J. Michael's better scripts for the show before leaving due to all the changes consultants wanted after the success of season one.

Electric Zombie Ain't Afraid of No Ghost (or Monsters).

Being a child in the 80's meant something very simple: you could handle things that might scare you. I'm not sure if it was a cultural observation or simply the whims of unscrupulous content creators but we growing up had a lot of spooky things to enjoy and keep us up at night. That's where Electric Zombie excels.

Electric Zombie, and its mad genius Kyle Crawford,  has just released their first wave of a Winter 2014 line and it is all about spooks and ghouls. Now, Crawford is somewhat of a polarizing figure in the world of design lines due to his bluntness but the man has high standards and is not afraid to run his companies how he wants. Whatever you think of him you have to respect how Electric Zombie puts out great work (and Crawford doesn't seem to care what you think of him anyway).

First up is perhaps the coolest thing on the planet at this moment (and "It Came from 1984" is currently going on) and that's the 'Spooker' print featuring the ghost of 'The Real Ghostbusters'.
