When you're working for the Ghostbusters, you never know when you're going to get the call to track down a non-terminal repeating phantasm or a Class-5 full-roaming vapor. It could be just as you're sitting down to a nice takeout dinner, or in the middle of the night while you're dreaming about a strangely sexual ghost encounter. Either way, you're gonna want to make sure you have the energy to bust ghosts. Thankfully, the folks at Pop Culture Coffee have you covered, especially if you're a "Ghostbusters" fan.
Right now, Pop Culture Coffee has two coffee flavors inspired by "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" (read our review). First, there's the Ecto-Espresso, which has a chocolate caramel flavor, and is available in both ground coffee and cold brew cans. But that's not all, because taking a cue from those mischievous and twisted little Mini-Pufts, there's also a Puftmello flavor that comes with a taste of marshmallow.

This article contains spoilers for "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire."
In the universe of "Ghostbusters," the supernatural entities take a variety of forms. Most notably, there are Ectoplast creatures like Slimer, Muncher, and Pukey who look like gross-out, cartoonish blobs. A more malicious spirit like Gozer the Gozerian is a Class 7 Deity of Destruction, while the Grey Lady (aka the Library Ghost) is a Class 4 Semi-Anchored Entity. Gertrude Aldridge in "Ghostbusters: Answer The Call" is similar to the Grey Lady, but fluctuates between more of a poltergeist and a Class 4 Semi-Anchored Entity. And then there's Egon Spengler himself, one of the original Ghostbusters who appeared in "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" in a spiritual form ranging from Class 2 or 3 before fully manifesting as a Class 4 Full Torso Apparition.
This is to say, "Ghostbusters" has played around with the various levels, presentations, and styles of ghosts for the last 40 years, and is still finding new...

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is in theaters now and it’s a lot of frosty fun.
The film, a direct follow-up to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and the fourth film in the mainline “Ghostbusters” continuity (which began back with 1984’s “Ghostbusters”), follows the Spangler family as they move into the iconic New York City firehouse that originally handled the Ghostbusters. There, they uncover an ancient evil that threatens to destroy Manhattan – and the entire world.
But are the Ghostbusters successful in thwarting this newest foe? Or will some of them sacrifice themselves for the good of mankind?
Before we break down the ending of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” with some commentary from director and co-writer Gil Kenan, we must issue a sternly worded spoiler warning.
Where are the Ghostbusters at the end of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire?”
Good question actually!
The original Ghostbusters, as well as the new Ghostbusters, have effectively been grounded. Walter Peck...

This article major spoilers for "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire."
As has become "Ghostbusters" legend, the original script draft for the film that eventually became the 1984 classic was a massive tome written solely by creator and star Dan Aykroyd, before collaborators like eventual co-star and co-writer Harold Ramis and director Ivan Reitman came aboard. That draft, entitled "Ghost Smashers," was a phone-book sized script that had a wildly divergent tone and narrative from what ended up as "Ghostbusters." Really, the largest element to remain intact from that initial draft to the finished film was the notion of ghostbusting being a profession, with the rest of the particulars being changed and found along the way.
However, that didn't stop the filmmakers using Aykroyd's original script for inspiration, then and now. Back then, some other elements seen in the first script, like the Onionhead ghost (which became Slimer) and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, made...

"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" hits theaters this weekend (read our review here), and along with the returning casts of both the original "Ghostbusters" franchise and the new generation of specter catchers from "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," there's another ugly little spud making a comeback. That's right, Slimer is back on the scene, green and still kinda mean. Well, at least he's hungry, and if you interfere with his eating (even though he can't really consume the food), he gets super annoyed. Every time Slimer comes back, some of that ectoplasm comes with him, but this time, the visual effects department on "Frozen Empire" came up with some cool new movie magic that they've never achieved with this green ghoul before.
With a little help from Ivan Reitman, "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" perfected the recipe for the slime that is so often left behind by ghosts, so getting the ectoplasm residue right was the easy part.

Like with basically every new Ghostbusters movie, I was skeptical but optimistic heading into the latest installment, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The original is perhaps my favorite comedy of all time but its follow-ups have always felt lacking to one degree or another. Ghostbusters II is a lazy retread with only a handful of good moments, while the 2016 film suffers from a lack of confidence in its own genuinely creative ideas and falls back on nostalgia in the process. And Afterlife suffered a similar but not as extreme fate, in addition to never quite escaping from under the weight of its massive tone problem.
But now, forty years after the original with a fresh and talented new cast joining a few familiar faces, has Frozen Empire finally figured out the secret to a truly great Ghostbusters sequel? Has the series finally stopped relying on nostalgia, ready to move forward with a...

Major spoilers follow.
Ever since a quartet of blue-collar fringe science-exploring schlubs first formed an organization known as the Ghostbusters back in 1984, the Ray Parker Jr.-led refrain of "Who ya gonna call?" has been both a promise and a cross to bear. While the original 'Busters (and their female counterparts from 2016) have continually struggled to convince themselves and others that non-corporeal entities are very real and need to be handled, they've also been burdened with the fact that ghostbusting is a full-time job with few tangible benefits. In essence, everyone from Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stanz (Dan Aykroyd), Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) to Phoebe Spengler (Mckenna Grace), her mother Callie (Carrie Coon), and others have been so continually preoccupied with the afterlife that they've barely carved out a present life for themselves.

To succeed, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire needed to be fun and capture the spirit of the original Ghostbusters. It was and it did – with caveats. Seeing the Og Ghostbusters team strapping on their proton packs was a hoot, but this latest installment in the franchise made some odd plot choices. It also sticks around half an hour too long.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, a direct sequel to Afterlife, finds the Spengler family – teens Phoebe and Trevor, plus mom Callie – and former teacher-turned-ghostbuster Gary Grooberson moving into the iconic NYC headquarters. The foursome’s kept hopping, responding to kooky undead creatures, including a sewer dragon. If there’s something strange in the neighborhood, they’re on the case. Why?

Why do these new Ghostbusters movies land so unremarkably? Not Paul Feig’s 2016 reboot, which was attacked by pissant trolls. My opening statement is reserved for Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Gil Kenan’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Kenan tackles the third sequel in recognized Ghostbusters continuity, which hardly gives audiences a reason to stay excited about any more franchise continuations. Plotting feels superficially engineered to sell the nostalgia thrills of seeing the original Ghostbusters suit up or so we can relive old scenes anew; a film built around team poses and one-liners that misremember how Ivan Reitman’s predecessors made bustin’ feel so good.
After the events of Afterlife, the Spenglers and Gary Grooberson (Paul Rudd) move into the iconic New York City firehouse where it all started. Callie Spengler (Carrie Coon) sees her romance with Gary flourish, while her kids Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) make spectral entrapment a family business.

The Ghostbusters franchise has never seen complete success in its tenure. While the original Ghostbusters starring Bill Murray has been a cult classic that has been paid tribute to and has been parodied multiple times over the years, the subsequent films have been a hit or miss. It hit a new low with the all-female reboot starring prominent SNL alumni.
However, the franchise seems to have gone further down the hole as its latest entry Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire gets the franchise’s worst Rotten Tomatoes score. The film came on the heels of the well-received Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which starred Paul Rudd and a new cast. Despite the presence of the beloved characters and the return of the Og Ghostbusters, the new film seems to be unimpressive. However, fans still seem to be excited.

Plot: After having relocated to NYC to fight ghosts, the Spengler find themselves tangling with an old nemesis of the Ghostbusters, Mayor Walter Peck (William Atherton), who wants to shut them down for good. Meanwhile, an ancient evil will be unleashed over the city, releasing all the spirits caught over the last forty years.
Review: I was a big fan of Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Jason Reitman’s film skillfully blended nostalgia with a new take on the franchise that opened up the Ghostbusters universe in an inclusive way. It welcomed new fans without alienating old ones, something the 2016 reboot notoriously failed at. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire seems to be aimed at building the franchise out more extensively. While it’s still a fun, nostalgia-driven return to the Ghostbusting universe, it’s not as good as the last film and spreads itself too thin to do the new characters justice.

The Ghostbusters universe seems to be getting awfully crowded. The latest film in the franchise, celebrating its 40th anniversary (gulp), features a plethora of ghostbusters old and new, including the surviving members of the original cast, the characters introduced in 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and a variety of eccentric new figures who are bound to figure in future installments. The only ones left out, it would seem, are the female ghostbusters from 2016’s unfairly maligned reboot, who should at least have merited a respectful cameo.
Nonetheless, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire tries hard, very hard, to satisfy the series’ fans with plenty of nostalgic throwbacks and mainly succeeds. It’s not nearly as good as the classic 1984 original, but then again, neither was 1989’s Ghostbusters II, and that one was directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, all of whom were responsible for the original.

Ahead of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire‘s release on March 22, Sony Pictures is doing a little promotion in the form of Augmented Reality with Ghost Invasion. If you head on over here, you can get in on trapping those Mini-Pufts with your mobile device.
Admittedly, the gameplay isn’t all that much. You tap your screen to place the trap and initiate the frosty capture sequence. Along with the Mini-Pufts, you’ll be able to trap Slimer and the Hell’s Kitchen Sewer Dragon.
If you persist in your efforts and grab all of the ghosts, you do get an Easter Egg featuring Kumail Nanjiani, who stars in the film as Nadeem Razmaadi.
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.

Even though movie theaters have been struggling for years, especially in the wake of the still-lingering pandemic, multiplex chains have been seeking out more ways to make money outside of tickets and typical concessions -- and one of them seems to be panning out. Pretty much every week, movie theater chains like AMC Theatres and Cinemark are releasing exclusive collectible popcorn buckets, from a pink corvette for "Barbie" to the provocative sandworm container for "Dune: Part Two." It's become quite a lucrative revenue stream, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so it should come as no surprise that "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" (watch the trailer here) is heading into the popcorn bucket arena.

With tickets on sale now, the Final Trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has been released this morning, and it frames the new movie in a bit of a different light than previous trailers.
For starters, this Final Trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire plays up the horror element – Patton Oswalt promised in a featurette video earlier this week that Frozen Empire is “genuinely scary” – and it also touches upon an angle that the other trailers had only been hinting at.
The thrust of this Final Trailer is a brand new tagline: “Every ghost they’ve ever caught… will be unleashed.” In other words, the new threat is about to bust the Containment Unit wide open, which will allow for Slimer and various other threats from the past to be reintroduced. We gathered this was the premise at play, but it’s never been clearly stated up to this point.

When it comes to horror movies- sometimes you have to bend the definition of the genre your own way to create something fun and familiar, yet refreshing and new at the same time. Adding contrasting elements to a scary story can often lead to a mess of clashing tones, but when it’s done correctly, and the balance is handled delicately and by professionals- you can get something brilliant… All of that to say- Today’s video is about Evolution (watch it Here).
So, if you’re not familiar with this movie- Evolution is the 2001 science fiction comedy directed by late but legendary Ghostbusters director, Ivan Reitman. The film follows Ira Kane and Harry Block- two scientists and college professors who are leading the industry in nothing, and kind of phoning it in. But when a meteor crashes to their small town in Arizona- the two must recruit a...

“Where are you from? Originally?” The question Peter Venkman asks in Ghostbusters has become relevant again.
We already knew that the fifth film in the series, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, would see the return of not only the three living original Ghostbusters but also Annie Potts’s Janine as a full-fledged member of the team. But while previous reports from director Gil Kenan, who co-wrote Ghostbusters: Afterlife with that film’s director and Frozen Empire co-writer Jason Reitman, insisted that the previous film shut the door on Ivo Shandor, Gozer, and Zuul, the latest trailer for Frozen Empire shows that not every old antagonist is in the past.
The trailer opens with narrator describing a longstanding feud with the Ghostbusters, indicating a long standing grudge. “They have a minor hanging out of a moving vehicle,” the voice intones with incredulity. “Firing a laser gun.”

Bill Murray gets in uniform and returns to the Ghostbusters franchise as Peter Venkman. In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, premiering March 22, new and old ghost hunters join forces to save the world from a second Ice Age.
Piecing together flashbacks from the original 1984 film and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the trailer follows the Spengler Family as they team up with the original gang to bust ghostly creatures as the city freezes over.

They’re the best. They’re the beautiful. They’re the only, Ghostbusters. And they’re back! The latest Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire trailer fires up the nostalgia with the return of the original team and more familiar faces — some slimier than others.
Blasting into theaters on March 22nd, the fourth entry in the primary Ghostbusters franchise follows 2012’s Afterlife. While some might argue that film leaned perhaps too hard into nostalgia, Frozen Empire isn’t shying away from delivering treats to longtime fans, even as it presents a whole new Big Bad.
In this film, one of the Ghostbusters’ most persistent adversaries, Walter Peck (William Atherton), is still a prickly little thorn in their side, using what appears to be his freshly conferred mayoral powers to shut down the new ‘Busters. But when an ice cold ancient evil arrises, Egon Spengler’s descendants will have to team up with his old brethren in proton packs,...

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Bill Murray, who suits back up as Peter Venkman in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” out March 22.
Murray isn’t the only franchise favorite to return for the chilly sequel, which sees the Big Apple covered in ice after an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force. His fellow original Ghostbusters — Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts — are back for “Frozen Empire,” and so is Slimer, aka “The Mean Green Ghost,” who returns with a vengeance.
According to the sequel’s logline, “Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.” The movie, which follows up 2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” also stars Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor and Logan Kim.

If you've been experiencing some chilly weather lately, it might be because "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" is on the way! Or it might be because it's winter. Either way, a new trailer for "Frozen Empire" has just blown in on an icy breeze.
The sequel to 2021's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" moves the action back from rural Oklahoma to the franchise's original home of New York City. "'Afterlife' was about taking [the franchise] out of New York to shake off the rust," said Jason Reitman, director of "Afterlife" and co-writer of "Frozen Empire," explained in an interview with Empire magazine earlier this year. "It was a passing-the-torch movie -- it was about setting this world up again and establishing our new characters." He teased that "Frozen Empire" opens with the new generation of Ghostbusters speeding around Manhattan in the Ecto-1, "chasing the biggest ghost we've ever seen in 'Ghostbusters.'"

Director Gil Kenan (Monster House) noted in recent comments that Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is partially inspired by the 1980s animated series “The Real Ghostbusters,” so we can expect to see fresh mythology and a wacky array of new ghosts in this year’s brand new sequel. We can also expect to see Slimer, a staple of the classic animated series!
After sitting out Ghostbusters: Afterlife and letting other spectral spirits shine, the beloved Slimer will be back in Frozen Empire, and Empire Magazine previews his return today.
Slimer is back to his old ways in the brand new image from Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire you’ll see above. And it’s looking like his appetite for destruction is the same as ever!

The Ghostbusters: Afterlife (watch it Here) sequel Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (which, of course, also serves as a sequel to the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II) is set to reach theatres on March 22nd – and during an interview with Empire magazine, director/co-writer Gil Kenan revealed that the film draws inspiration from the 1986 – 1991 animated series The Real Ghostbusters‘ willingness to be weird and wild.
Kenan said he appreciated The Real Ghostbusters‘ “wild, original and weird-as-fuck villains. We wanted to bring that show’s looseness and fearlessness to this movie. I think it’s going to surprise people just how big this film is.“
As Empire pointed out, The Real Ghostbusters “unleashed such oddities as a werechicken, a boogeyman, and an alternate reality with ‘Peoplebusters’.” As for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the main villain is something known as the Death Chill, and it also features a giant creature known as the Sewer Dragon.

Before "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" brought the paranormal exterminators and the descendants of one Egon Spengler to the big screen, we were introduced to one of the new ghosts on the scene. His name was Muncher, and the bulbous blue blob felt like the successor to Slimer, the perpetually hungry green ghost of the "Ghostbusters" franchise.
In the 2021 movie, Muncher was the first specter that Phoebe, Podcast, and Trevor busted and trapped, but not before facing his munching wrath, which also including shooting shards of metal out of his mouth when cornered. Since the paranormal threats circling Summerville, Oklahoma were handily dealt with by both the young and old generations of Ghostbusters, we're not likely to see Muncher again. But it would appear he has a peculiar little heir taking his place.

There is no Gozer, only… well, we don’t know yet.
After the chaos that followed the release of 2016’s series revamp Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, Sony went full nostalgia with Ghostbusters: Afterlife in an attempt to appease change-resistant fans. The studio recruited Jason Reitman, son of original director Ivan Reitman, as well as the original four Ghostbusters (including the late Harold Ramis in CGI-ghost form). Afterlife even brought back the main villain of that first movie, Gozer the Gozerian.
In other words, it was a textbook legacy sequel that introduced a new generation of heroes while nodding to the originals, and according to Afterlife co-writer Gil Kenan, the movie’s structure demanded Gozer’s return.
“Because the Spengler family story drove the narrative in Afterlife, bringing Gozer back to centre-stage was a natural way to close the book on the past,” he told Empire. That explanation does track with...

Original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson all returned to their roles for Ghostbusters: Afterlife (watch it Here) – and they’re also back in the upcoming sequel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which is scheduled to reach theatres on March 29, 2024!

Columbia Pictures’ Ghostbusters: Afterlife went nuclear with the nostalgia and yet somehow left Slimer out of the reunion. Thankfully, he’ll be returning in next year’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the studio revealed today on socials.
The official Ghostbusters socials shared a massive lenticular theater display that announced the return of Slimer and “a new empire of spirits.” While Slimer didn’t appear in Afterlife, the ghost did appear with a female companion in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters remake.
Last April, Jason Reitman explained to The A.V. Club that Slimer didn’t appear in Afterlife because of the Oklahoma setting: “…every culture has their own ghost stories, and we want to see all of them.“

There are certainly plenty of movie and TV ghosts we don’t want haunting us. The murderous ones boxed up in the glass house of THIR13EN Ghosts? Absolutely not. Slimer from Ghostbusters? He’s a friggin liability. Sleepy Hollow’s Headless Horseman? No, we need our heads, we’re using them for important stuff like overthinking and retaining the lyrics to “Baby Shark” for whatever reason. And god forbid Pipes ever gets past the door.
There are, however, notable pop culture ghosts that wouldn’t make our lives considerably worse. Perhaps they’re genuinely helpful, and wouldn’t be too much of a bother to have hanging around. Or, and we don’t mean to lower the tone, maybe they’re just really, really hot.

The 1980s was a golden era for TV animation. It was the decade of Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, Transformers, Ducktales, The Smurfs, He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, Care Bears, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yet arguably, the best of them all was The Real Ghostbusters.
The show arrived at a time when studios were eager to translate box office gold into something palatable for younger audiences. It didn’t always quite go to plan, of course, as short-lived and ill-advised animated incarnations of everything from Rambo to The Karate Kid can attest.
But The Real Ghostbusters was different, running for 140 episodes across seven seasons.
It was a little different from the film. For one thing, the title had to be tweaked due to a dispute with Filmation, who was making an animated version...

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, 1988’s Night of the Demons is a perfect Halloween party movie; not merely because the plot involves a Halloween party, but it embodies the spirit of the holiday.
Director Kevin Tenney (Witchboard) and writer Joe Augustyn veer between creepy and campy throughout the 90-minute runtime. A playfully spooky atmosphere is immediately established by the Scooby Doo-esque animated credit sequence set to a bombastic synth theme by the director’s brother, Dennis Michael Tenney.
The plot follows a group of rowdy high schoolers to a deadly party at the infamous Hull House. As goth hostess Angela Franklin (Amelia Kinkade) explains, the abandoned abode is possessed rather than haunted: “The spirits living in a house possessed never existed in human form. They’ve only existed in spirit form. They’re pure evil. They’re demons.” A seance awakens the spirits, who start turning the partygoers into savage demons.
Director Kevin Tenney (Witchboard) and writer Joe Augustyn veer between creepy and campy throughout the 90-minute runtime. A playfully spooky atmosphere is immediately established by the Scooby Doo-esque animated credit sequence set to a bombastic synth theme by the director’s brother, Dennis Michael Tenney.

Gizmo. Predator. Slimer. Dustin from “Stranger Things.” These are just a few popular characters that have been turned into official Chia Pets in recent years, and more are coming soon.
This Halloween season, Neca will be turning Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams from Netflix series “Wednesday” and Ghostface from Scream into Chia Pets!
The handmade decorative planters promise full growth in 1-2 weeks, with the “Wednesday” Chia Pet depicting Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams looking down at a spooky black and green plant. The Ghostface planter is particularly interesting, as the plant you grow atop his head is intended to form his iconic black hood – it looks more like a Bob Ross hairdo, however.
Thing from the “Wednesday” series gets his own Chia Pet as well, seen below.
You can pre-order all three Chia Pets from Entertainment Earth today.
Expect them in October 2023.

When it comes to Ghostbusters, there’s very few films more nostalgic than the 1984 classic. With some of the best working comedians in Hollywood history, and a talented filmmaker like Ivan Reitman- This movie has introduced lovers of comedy, horror, and a good old fashioned ghost adventure to the unique and witty tales of New York City’s infamous paranormal exterminators and has since become a staple in pop culture with a respectable franchise that is still going to this day.
Ghostbusters follows the story of Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zedemeore (Ernie Hudson) as the quartet tracks and captures ghosts all over New York to keep the living safe from annoying pests like Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. For fans of the movie, it’s hard not to smile when the Marshmallow Man makes his first appearance.

As a child I was fascinated by “Manimal” an old TV series where a man could transform into various creatures. Also, by “Braveheart” a cartoon sheriff with the powers of hawk, wolf, puma, and bear (currently singing that as I write this). So, the concept of a guy revived with martial animal powers caught my attention. With one of the executive producers (Prachya Pinkaew) being the man who brought us Tony Jaa it looked like there could be some potential here. I mean what martial arts movie fan doesn’t mind a bit of Tiger or Monkey Style? Can’t be too bad right???

Much like movies, video game companies have historically been eager to make games based on popular TV shows. To be fair, certain shows do lend themselves to great games. Capcom was able to spin gold out of the Disney Afternoon animated lineup, and Konami’s big arcade hits were based on the ever-so-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, an extremely early take on The Simpsons, and an X-Men cartoon.
Sometimes, though, you got some really weird adaptations. While some are remembered for the wrong reasons, others have been mostly lost to time despite being based on once-popular properties. Here are just some of the most bizarre and forgotten games based on popular TV shows.
15. The Real Ghostbusters (Arcade)
In 1987, developer Data East took a bird’s eye run-and-gun with crazy monster designs called Meikyuu Hunter G and spruced it up with an extra player and bells and whistles that made it qualify as a Ghostbusters tie-in.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the movie "Strange World."
"Strange World" tests the bonds of love and the importance of family through a sci-fi adventure. Director Don Hall and writer/co-director Qui Nguyen have sculpted an extraordinary world full of bizarre creatures. In crafting such a magnificent world, the creative team sought out pulp fiction and films like "The Matrix," approaching the environment with an eye toward flipping expectations. Instead of crafting your usual landscapes littered with trees and rocks, production designer Mehrdad Isvandi wanted to bring a sense of whimsy and playful colors to the screen. In the way Isvandi uses "every color except green ... our brains don't know how to feel." Isvandi adds, "We challenged ourselves to design a world that felt otherworldly yet grounded and relatable, and also not too beautiful to be distracting."
