It’s funny how it can sometimes take 25 years and a lifetime of reading to finally put two and two together regarding something about Ghostbusters, but here we are. The thought, my thought, in question is at the very beginning of the film when Peter teases Egon; “This reminds me of the time you tried […]
The world needs a monster truck Ecto-1
This piece of mine originally ran at Entertainment Geekly… IN 2002! Sheesh. That site is now long gone, but given the GB leaning content of the piece, I figure it should have a nice new home here. I was watching Monster Jam on TNN a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know why either — […]

Leo Zahn, like many of the people I’ve been lucky enough to interview, has a very cool job. Leo directs commercials. Specifically, Leo, through his California based company Picture Palace, directed a commercial for Trendmasters. The product was Trendmasters line of Extreme Ghostbusters toys.

His CV includes work on the Twilight Zone (syndicated TV series), Captain Power (that toy oriented Saturday morning show), Jake and the Fatman (a little beyond […]
Ghostbusters RPG: Checklist
I had many a fun weekend in school playing the Ghostbusters Role Playing Game. It was simple, it could be taught to anyone in minutes, and of course, it was Ghostbusters. So it was automatically fun. Sadly, West End Games went under last year, so should another movie ever get made, it remains to be […]
Ghostbusters RPG: Part one
Making Character and understanding game basics Out of the thousands of role-playing games produced since the invention of the 12-sided dice, there is a little gem of a game that all Ghostbusters fans everywhere should enjoy. Ghostbusters: A Frightfully Cheerful Role-playing Game. Sadly, the Ghostbusters RPG is no longer being produced and even sadder is […]
Interview: Fil Barlow
Fil Barlow has a job that most people would die for. He draws. A lot. And he might be Australian. With a huge background in both print comics and animation, Fil has his name attached to shows like the Alf animated series and C.O.P.S.. Currently he’s working on the Godzilla animated series. But of more […]
Interview: Alita Holly
As you might have heard, there’s been word that Columbia would be releasing a special edition of Ghostbusters on DVD. Well it’s all true. Proton Charging had the opportunity to talk to A.H., producer for the project, and huge Harold Ramis fan. The paraphrased conversation is as follows: PC: When? WHEN!? AH: There’s no official […]
Interview: Jean-Marc Lofficier
After running into his webpage quite by accident, PC approached Jean-Marc Lofficier for an interview. Jean-Marc responded almost immediately (which leads me to suspect he’s in front of his computer a lot) and agreed. Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier have an interesting Ghostbusters pedigree. First Randy wrote what appears to be the very first article ever […]
Interview: Slavitza Jovan
It’s quite a journey from being a little girl in Yugoslavia to model in Europe and actress in the US, but that’s Slavitza Jovan’s life in a nutshell. After moving to the US, Slavitza (pronounced, if I’ve got this right, slah-vits-ya) found herself cast in what remains to this day the largest grossing comedy of […]
