Ghostbusters DVD

Glen here...

CARDINAL MIKE sent in this message about the forthcoming DVD issue of GHOSTBUSTERS. His words kind of speak for themselves (and I have something of a headache), so I’ll spare you a nauseatingly verbose, wacky introduction and cut right to the chase with this one.

Personally, I can’t wait to check-out those Richard Edlund visual effects on DVD. Should be a blast frame-by-framing the subtle lightening gathering on the ground, reaching up to meet that he-chick’s foot as she / it (huh huh - if you put those last two words together it makes an obscenity!) is about to touch down after flipping through the air…checking-out the minute details on those cool energy beams the Ghostbusters use…gonna be fun.

Here’s what Cardinal Mike had to say about GHOSTBUSTERS on DVD.


There will be a DVD will be coming out Summer 1999.

It will contain retrospective interviews (definitely text, maybe video) with the people who worked on the movie.

If they can swing it, they'd like to run the interviews, anecdotes, etc. while the movie runs (alternate audio tracks), putting the comments in specific context.

There will be the trailer, the teaser, deleted scenes, some recently found footage that wasn't used, the alternate TV takes ("wally wick" instead of "Mr. Pecker", etc.), the alternate, improvised takes Murray and cast were notorious for, and if they can swing the rights, the Ray Parker Jr. music video.

Seems that late June might be a good guess as to the street date, but I’m told nothing is set in stone at this time.

There have been a lot of wild rumors flying around about this DVD title, I wanted to help set the record straight.

-Cardinal Mike
