If Dr. Seuss wrote a book about the Ghostbusters, it might look something like this illustration of There Goes a Gozerian, Ghostbuster! by DeviantARTist DrFaustusAU (the artist behind this previous Dr. Seuss / Cthulhu mashup).

It’s was all part of Abe’s Vampire hunting hobby.
This homemade Ghostbusters Pillow Proton Pack was created by Etsy merchant JezebelRose. The pack is modeled after the example seen in the first Ghostbusters movie, and is said to be “soft and squishy” but still able to hold its form quite well.
The backpack straps on the pack are adjustable to fit a range of sizes and a strap is present on the top of the pack so it can easily be hung on the wall for decoration when not in use.
The plush version of the Ghost Trap is sold separately, unless you buy a combined set. Check out some additional images after the break.

If you’re looking for the ultimate Ghostbusters prop, you’ll be thrilled to learn that Mattel is gearing up to release a replica of the ghost trap from the movie. The trap not only looks the part, but also produces lighting and sound effects that will surely make unsuspecting friends and neighbors wet their pants in fear thinking they have a ghost infestation on their hands.
The trap will come in two modes, ‘prop’ and ‘movie’. The former will see the doors of the trap open while lighting up whenever you give the pedal a step, letting you know that a ghost has already been caught, detaining it for good the moment it is closed. When you switch to movie mode, it works in the same manner, save for the light show that is livelier not to mention the inclusion of additional sound effects which will play the moment you open and close the trap’s doors.
The product is slated for release in October, and will sell for $135. Check out a video demonstration after the break.
Your Halloween decorations have the potential to be significantly more awesome if you are willing to drop $110 on an 8.5-foot tall inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Now you can dress up like a Ghostbuster and battle Stay Puft in your front lawn for the amusement of all your trick-or-treaters.
Stay Puft will be available for sale starting on September 14th.

Nerd Approved reader Robert aka “creatorofdestruction” sent us some pics of 2007 Dodge Magnums he decked out to look like an Umbrella Corporation police car and the Ecto-1. Both come complete with working lights and sirens.
Check out more pics of these awesome rides after the break.
Artist Mr Whaite has created a series of conceptual neon signs for such nerdy films as Star Wars, Back To The Future and Ghostbusters. They are magnificent and I would like to hang them over my home bar where, inevitably, the “G” and “ST” in Ghostbusters would burn out.

Ironically, the abandoned firehouse that was taken over by the Ghostbusters is about to be vacated for real thanks to budget cuts. Currently, it operates as an actual firehouse—one that was among the first to respond to the 9/11 attacks.
While it would be a shame to shutter such an iconic firehouse, there’s no denying that this could be a huge opportunity for a nerd with deep pockets. Imagine how much this building would go for given its iconic status and location in a trendy Manhattan neighborhood? It would be off the charts.
I would dress up as a Ghostbuster and slide downstairs to breakfast every morning.

This is what nerdy nerds do with disposable income—buy a DeLorean and mash it up with features from Kitt and the Ecto-1.
The upgrade process is still in the early stages, but you can see what Ernie Cline is going for in the video after the break.
Who you gonna call? Well, if you need an Ecto-1 made with Lego you should call Adam Grabowski. Check out some additional images after the break.
