Hey TB, I just realized that I've got the soundtrack to Ghostbusters II lying around here somewhere... If you want to borrow it for the Gameday, I'll bring it along.

I have that soundtrack...on cassette...

Yay old technology.

Far, far too many of you own the soundtrack to Ghostbusters II. Was it the allure of Bobby Brown?

I was like 5 years old, and I was a Ghostbusters fanatic. I watched the cartoons every Saturday morning, watched episodes my mom and grandma had taped for me probably daily, and at least once a week I watched one of the two feature films, if not both.

I had a proton pack, a uniform, a trap, a PKE meter, a model of the fire station (but my mom took away all of the ooze that you could pour through the three levels of the station because she didn't want me to get any on the carpet.)

Heck yeah. I had the firestation too, along with the Staypuft Marshmallow Man, the car, the ghost trap with the foot pedal you stomped down on to open said trap...

Only problem with the cartoon was that I didn't care much for Slimer. Research on Wikipedia shows the show jumped the shark at approximately the third season, as it focused so much on aiming towards children it really started dumbing it down. This I believe from watching the two cartoon episodes on the Ghostbusters II DVD. One is from the first season, and the other from after the start of the third season...Whoo boy that was painful to watch as an adult.

Our copy is on CD...

Actually, our copy belonged to my wife. I asked her where she got it from, and she said she had no idea, "It just showed up in my dorm room one day in college... I just couldn't seem to get rid of it... I honestly thought I threw it away two or three times, but it keeps showing back up..." For ten years, apparently, she couldn't seem to get rid of it.

Gotta call the Resident Adviser if something strange happens in the dorm, right?

As long as they ain't afraid of no ghosts.
