    I preordered this way back in June, and it finally arrived today!!! I'm so happy with this; usually, these 'Trick or Treat Studios' masks need a lot of re-hairing and repaints to look good, But with this one, literally all I did was mess up its hair a little. This mask is awesome!!
    It now has a home on my mannequin in my red room!

    Thanks! Since then I got the correct coveralls too! In that old pic he was wearing the 1978 ones

    In the opposite corner I have all my other masks on display. I’m thinking about getting an unaltered Kirk mask and a Ben Tramer to round it out! ;)

    I bet you don't still have the gunge that came with the Ghostbusters Fire Station. ;) Or do you, i'd be mighty impressed if you did.

    Gunge to me, but... yeah that stuff. You place it on the vent at the top, and it dribbled down.

    Lol I wish I did!
    I remember using that up really quickly when I was little. Whenever we went to the grocery store I would get some more out of the $0.25 machines in the front of the store :D

    The Fire Station looks in very good condition, I must say. If I still have mine, it would be somewhere up in my attic. I had the Fire Station, Ecto-1 and the four Ghostbusters. I remember my friend had a VW Beetle that transformed, it might have been Janine's car, I can't remember.

    Mine has been in my parents attic for 20+ years, but once I got my own house (instead of a little apartment) I was able to take all sorts of stuff off their hands.

    That firehouse actually needed a LOT of work. I basically had to hose it down in the back yard, from all the dirt and cobwebs that was caked on deep. That red thing on the pole was missing so I got one on eBay and all the stickers were replaced!

    I think Ecto-1 will be my next project! It will need the same treatment!

    I got a Ghostbusters firehouse not too long ago. It's in decent shape. A part of the roof chipped but I was able to fix it with superglue. However it left a slight OCD triggering crack that I'm figuring out how to cover up.

    I tried that but it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I'd like to reinforce it anyway so I might get some balsa wood or plastic trim to lay over it to cover it up.

    I haven’t carved a pumpkin since I was probably 12, but I tried really hard to recreate the one from the Halloween movie opening title!

    Watched it yesterday. Difficult watching horror movies with a young child in the house who struggles to sleep, but tonight I might try Trick r' Treat.

    I rewatched the 1978 Halloween on Sunday night. Going to see the new one in theaters later tonight. I didn't watch as many old favorite horror films this month this time around - wanted to let them rest a while. I did watch the entire Child's Play series, and a few other ones I hadn't seen before such as Don't Look Now, 1408, and Joy Ride.

    Ahhh, Halloween, finally - my favorite holiday. My night shall consist of some weed, candy, Hell Night and a back-to-back viewing of the first two Halloween installments. It's going to be a damn good night. Have fun and be safe everyone.

    @FoxRox, did you enjoy Don't Look Now? I've only seen it once but it was very foreboding and moody, I really enjoyed it.

    Work for me tonight though I'll mull over which Horror film to watch on my tablet, I think I may watch Halloween 6 I noticed it was on Amazon Prime.

    @Creasy47 I hate to say it, but I actually wasn’t a big fan of the film. Didn’t really creep me out like I had hoped and was just a bit overkill on how slow it was. But each to their own.
