 Let the promotion begin
  Check out the official cardboard standee that is being sent to select retail chains and a few video rental stores throughout the country. It looks, rather odd- but the picture is also at an interesting angle- almost as if it's a Star Wars type perspective. Click the thumbnail for a full-sized pic.

 Same concept, different approach
  GBHQ, the leader in information reguarding Ghostbusters 2120, the all-new GB television series in the works by Ghostheads such as yourself is pleased to announce that the approach to the show has changed in order to make the show more appealing as well as speed up production- instead of being a fully computer generated animated show, GB2120 will be a live-action/CG show mixing live footage with the latest technology in computer animation. Screen tests and more information will be announced both through the official site and the HQ, so keep checking back Ghostheads! (offsite link)

 Guess who's back on Sci-Fi?
  Thanks to GBHQ scooper Darth Varnar for the tip, Extreme Ghostbusters is returning to the Sci-Fi Channel on February 21 with "Casting the Runes." It took me forever and a day to confirm it, but check out SFC's website for the program guide. Also returning is the ultra-cool Starship Troopers cartoon (offsite link)

 Scream 3, wasn't Sydney supposed to die?
  We saw Scream 3 last night and I must say it was a fitting end to the trilogy, but wasn't Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) supposed to die? I thought the whole controversy was that it was her last one and her character was killed? Oh well, let me know what you heard, Ghostheads!

 Two-Pack is out!
 

You've waited for it- it's finally out, the repackaged (non-cellophane) boxed set of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II on DVD (see my review here). This thing is wicked cool, with the new cardboard box it makes a great addition to the DVD shelf.

The HQ will have links available in the GBHQ Online Store a little bit later today to purchase the pack as well as a special interview- so check back a little later today, Ghostheads!

 Sorry...
  Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been an incredibly weird and hard few days. Things'll be back to normal starting today.

 Anyone here a doctor? Comedy to mix with health.
  They say that it's healthy and good for you to laugh- which is why I guess that Comedy Central and "Rx-Laughter" are teaming up for a new study to research comedy effecting the general health of terminally-ill patients. How does this relate to the GBs? Two ways... one of the case study's, according to a friend close to CC will be a showing of Ghostbusters (hey, the GB's helping out the sick, how cool is that?) as well as donations for the project benefiting the Chris Farley and Gilda Radner memorial funds which the good doctors have set up. Check out the full details here:

 Bruce Campbell WOULD be interested in GB3
  We all know that Ghostbusters 3 is WAY down the line, but according to Justin Whipkey, a frequent GBHQ visitor and frequent haunter of the Bruce Campbell website, Bruce might not be too much of a dream character for the Netmeister. Through an e-mail response Bruce told Justin "I'd go for it if offered," Check out Bruce Campbell's official website for more at http://www.bruce-campbell.com

 GBHQ video project update
  Just a friendly reminder to look for the all-new video version of the Interdimensional Crossrip news here on the HQ within the next couple days, as well as the revealing of the Ghostbusters: Inner Demons teaser trailer- good stuff!

 Incredibly cool discussion on the boards
  I thought that I'd never be saying this again, but there's a great discussion going on in the Ghostbusters message boards on the origin of Slimer. Though Dan has said that he wrote the character with the intent of remembering John Belushi in the film, it's still pretty cool hearing people's ideas where the ugly little spud originated from. Check it out on the Ghostbusters message boards:


 Inner Demons trailer in editing process
