“Get ready to join in the ultimate special effects thriller in this world or the next. An over, under, around, and see-through blitz by Slimer, Gozer, the Terror Dogs and more. The Neutrana beams cross, the ectoplasmic energy explodes, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man blows his top and everybody gets creamed. It’s a supernatural Spooktacular that will haunt you for years to come!”- Universal Studios

With that description many of us were hooked, not only were we promised to see the stars and ride the movies we could also witness the boys in gray slug it out with some pesky poltergeists right in front of us. The Ghostbusters Spooktacular, based off the hit Columbia film, entertained park goers in the New York street area from 1990 to 1996, when it was replaced by Twister: Ride it out. With its closing all we have left are our memories of two amazing stage shows, several entertaining street shows, and hundreds of Ecto-1 photo ops. This tribute page was created as a gathering place for fans to share stories, photos, and home videos of one of the original and greatest Universal attractions ever created. So head back into the firehouse, try to keep the slime from touching the ground, and remember a simpler time when YOU COULD BE A GHOSTBUSTER!
