Due to his limited trainings in laws, he mostly handles matters relating to taxes and probate. He represents the Ghostbusters at their trial in his first court case. Brandon says that their Ecto-1 still draws younger fans who have been introduced to the Ghostbusters franchise through the newer movies, mostly because there are kids cast in them.
Phoebe, Podcast and Trevor successfully capture Muncher, but release him later on when they return to Summerville Sheriff Department to retrieve the equipment Lucky’s father seized from them. Muncher eats through the bars of the cell housing the Ghostbusters equipment and flees. Gertrude Aldridge, portrayed by Bess Rous, was the first ghost seen by Erin, Abby and Holtzmann in the 2016 film, in a similar role to the Library Ghost in the 1984 film. Gertrude Aldridge was the psychotic eldest daughter of a wealthy New York City aristocrat who murdered her family’s servants. To avoid scandals, rather than turn her to the police or have her committed, the Aldridges lock her away for life in their manor’s basement, feeding her through a small slot on the door.
The factory that built the Superior originally designed things to work for both applications. Ghostbusters was developed and published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1990. It is unrelated to Activision’s initial Ghostbusters game, and is instead a platform shoot ’em up game in which the player chooses to play as one of three Ghostbusters from the films; Winston Zeddemore is excluded from the game. Four levels are available initially; after they are completed, a fifth level is unlocked, followed by a sixth and final level. Each level contains a number (usually two) of mid-bosses known as “middle ghosts”; after a middle ghost is defeated, it turns into a small green ghost which can be captured for extra money by luring it over a ghost trap.
She is memorialized by the library as a dedicated staffmember who died protecting its properties. However, since Twitty’s death, other librarians sense her haunting presence, eventually frightening one staff, Alice Melvin (Alice Drummond), in 1984. In the video game, the Ghostbusters discover her reading the Codex in the library’s secret catacombs where she died before capturing her. Due to the ease of the capture, they state that she must have wanted them to recover the Codex to aid them in defeating Hoover after he died and became the guardian of the mandala node Shandor built into the library. Offscreen, she is later freed after the spirits of the Cult of Gozer attack the Ghostbusters’ firehouse headquarters for the spiritual energy from their ecto-containment unit. After their triumph in the first film, the Ghostbusters hung up their proton packs.

Featuring 7 points of articulation and ethereal, movie-inspired deco and design, the librarian is ready to haunt your shelves! Includes library book accessory, stack of library books accessory, and stand. In the present day, she haunts the Aldridge Mansion Museum when tour guide Garrett (Zach Woods) was about to head home. As soon as Garrett heard her banging on the basement door, he makes numerous attempts to escape before clinging on a collapsed stair for dear life. Gertrude later reveals herself from the green ectoplasm on the floor, with Garrett shrieking.
Large enough to carry the team and all of the Ghostbusting gear, rear-loading for easy access to said equipment, and quirky enough to suit the tone of the movie. The ’59 Cadillac Miller-Meteor in question isn’t just any wagon though, far from it. It’s a pretty rare and special car regardless of any Hollywood credentials. Ecto-1, a 1959 Cadillac ambulance converted for ghost removal, is part of the elite crowd of movie and TV cars—only the DeLorean time machine, A-Team van, KITT from Knight Rider, or the General Lee have this level of celebrity. And you don’t need to be an enthusiast with deep interest in the products of Cadillac’s commercial division to enjoy a solidly executed Ecto-1 replica. An Ecto-1 is just plain fun, the kind of thing to have you start quipping like Venkman and Spengler, and hitting up eBay to build out your own Ghostbusters costume.
To promote the movie, the producers sent the car blazing around New York City. To say it was an attention-getter is an understatement, particularly as the movie became well known. It is said – perhaps apocryphally – that it ended up causing many traffic accidents while New Yorkers gawked.
Like Winston, Roland is the only African American member of the team, yet he has a talent with machines like Ray. In the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, Vigo was mentioned in the sixth episode of season 5 “Partners in Slime”, indicating that he also exist in the animated Ghostbusters canon as an unseen character. Born in 1505, Vigo was a warlock skilled in black magic, enabling him with an unnaturally long life span. As the Manhattan Crossrip of 1984 begins, the Ghostbusters are released from jail and brought to City Hall.
He eventually gets engulfed in Mr. Stay-Puft’s melted remains, leaving him publicly humiliated. It’s a pretty rare configuration, too, with only a few hundred having been made. Since 2018, we’ve been a passionate team of builders with years of experience creating and assembling models.
When the Ghostbusters arrived, Rowan discarded Kevin, took on a perverted, kaiju-like form of the caricature ghost from the Ghostbusters logo, and went on a rampage. The women destroyed the vortex by firing their particle throwers at Ecto-1’s reactor, detonating a nuclear explosion inside it. Rowan was pulled into the Ghost World, but caught Abby, trying to kill her. Erin entered the dimension and saved her, leaving Rowan trapped in the Ghost World. Dr. Jillian “Holtz” Holtzmann is portrayed by Kate McKinnon in the 2016 film.
The wheelbase is some 156” (later commercial Cadillacs were even longer), and the curb weight is above 7000 lbs before you throw the first proton pack in the back. Power comes from a 390-cubic inch V-8, though with this much mass to haul around, performance is more stretch limo than CTS-V. In concept drawings, the original Ecto-1 was supposed to be a more modern Cadillac hearse, painted black for maximum spookiness.

This section includes characters who will appear or have appeared in multiple installments in the franchise. Happily, sourcing a Superior or back-dating a later car provides an avenue towards building an Ecto-1 replica. However, professional Cadillac enthusiasts likely won’t sell you one if they catch wind of your intentions, as they see it as tampering with an important and rare historical vehicle for pop culture references. You get the same attitude around DeLoreans and Back To The Future replicas. Please note that in order for us to minimise delivery time and to be able to keep international delivery free, we replace any original boxes of the product with a smaller, more ergonomic and more secure packaging option.

The riff from Ray Parker Jr.’s classic hit is enough to elicit images of the goofy, somehow effective team of apparition-catchers. It’s the Ghostbusters, a favorite amongst nostalgic moviegoers and cosplayers alike. Still, the team would have been finished long ago without their trusty ride.
In the novelization, she is depicted as having grown up near Battle Creek, Michigan; she met Abby in her senior year of high school and spent much of her time at the University of Michigan researching ghosts with Abby. She did postgraduate work at Princeton University and got her doctorate at MIT. In the extended version of the film, revealed that Erin was dating fellow Columbia University professor Phil Hudson (Justin Kirk), but their relationship ended after Erin got fired. Also, like Egon Spengler, Erin is prone to violent reactions when pushed too far temperamentally and has a powerful right cross that would break one’s nose. In the film, she rereleases her book without Erin’s consent, threatening her bid for tenure.
