Ghostbusters Clothing, Accessories & Figures

The central idea of "Ghostbusters (1984)" revolves around tackling the supernatural in a scientific, yet comedic way, and taking responsibility when no one else can (or will). The story begins with three fired parapsychology professors from Columbia University: Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Dr. Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis). After losing their funding, they decide to start a paranormal extermination business called "Ghostbusters" in New York City, equipped with their own gear (the iconic "proton packs" and "ghost traps"). Soon, the city begins to be inundated with supernatural activity, and the Ghostbusters find themselves on the front lines, facing increasingly dangerous entities. The situation escalates when an ancient demonic entity, Gozer the Gozerian, attempts to return to the world through a building in the heart of New York City, threatening to destroy everything. The film masterfully combines adventure, comedy, and elements of horror, highlighting the power of collaboration, the acceptance of diversity (as the Ghostbusters are outcasts), and the need to face our fears, even if they are a giant, inflatable marshmallow!

The central idea of "Ghostbusters II" explores the Ghostbusters' continued struggle for acceptance and their battle against a new, spiritual threat that feeds on the city's negativity. Five years after the events of the first film, the Ghostbusters have fallen from grace: their paranormal activities have been banned, they've lost their licenses, and they are forced to take on menial jobs to survive. However, when New York begins experiencing increased supernatural activity linked to a massive underground river of "mood slime", which responds to people's negative emotions, the Ghostbusters are forced to reunite. This slime is being empowered by Vigo the Carpathian, an ancient, malevolent monarch who seeks to revive and possess the body of baby Oscar (Dana Barrett's son). The Ghostbusters must clean up the slime, defeat Vigo, and prove their worth to the city once again. The film retains the comedic element and the chemistry between the protagonists, while adding a darker underlying threat (the slime and the city's negativity). It explores themes such as redemption, the power of emotions (both positive and negative), and the legacy we leave behind. The film culminates in an epic battle that uses a new type of slime and, of course, a walking Statue of Liberty!

The central idea of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" is the continuation of the original Ghostbusters' story through the eyes of a new generation, who discover the team's legacy and purpose. The film acts as a direct sequel to "Ghostbusters (1984)" and "Ghostbusters II (1989)". The story follows Callie (Carrie Coon), the adult daughter of the late Dr. Egon Spengler, and her two children, Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard). When Callie and her children face financial difficulties, they are forced to move to Egon's dilapidated old farm in a remote Oklahoma town called Summerville. There, the intelligent but socially awkward Phoebe begins to discover mysterious artifacts left behind by her grandfather, Egon, including his proton pack and the Ecto-1 (the iconic Ghostbusters vehicle). As Phoebe, with the help of her brother Trevor, her friend Podcast (Logan Kim), and their summer school teacher, Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd), investigates the strange seismic phenomena and supernatural disturbances in town, they realize that Egon was not just a "crazy scientist." Instead, he had dedicated his final years to trying to prevent the return of Gozer the Gozerian (the main antagonist from the first film) and its associates, Vinz Clortho and Zuul, who are connected to an ancient mine in the area. The new heroes must understand Egon's legacy and use the Ghostbusters' equipment to complete his mission and save the world from a new apocalypse, while also bringing the original Ghostbusters back for a poignant reunion. The film is a love letter to fans and the original cast (especially the late Harold Ramis), combining nostalgia with a fresh approach to the characters and plot.

The central idea of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" is the reunion of the old and new generations of Ghostbusters to confront a cosmic ice threat that threatens to envelop New York City (and the world) in ice. The film continues the story after the events of "Afterlife". The Spengler-Grooberson family – Callie, Phoebe, Trevor, and Mr. Grooberson – have moved to New York and settled into the firehouse that served as the original Ghostbusters headquarters. There, they continue their ghost-hunting business. The new threat comes from an ancient artifact, a magical sphere containing the soul of a powerful, ancient ice god named Garraka. Garraka has the power to freeze fear and create a "frozen empire", turning people into ice and unleashing an army of ice ghosts. As New York begins to experience unexplained and dangerous ice explosions, the new Ghostbusters realize they need the help of the original Ghostbusters (Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore). The film explores the dynamics of family, legacy, and the continuation of the Ghostbusters' work. Phoebe faces her own self-doubt and the need to find her place on the team, while old and new characters collaborate to save the city from an unprecedented, icy apocalypse, using new technology and their collective experience.
