1989 Ghostbusters II - Slimer
THE FIRST GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE ONLY GOT A FEW CARDS IN THE 1988 FRIGHT FLICKS SET. GHOSTBUSTERS II GOT MERCHANDISED ALL TO HELL AND GOT IT'S OWN TRADING CARD SET. GOOD OLD FASHIONED CARDBOARD ENCASED IN WAX CONTAINING NO INSERTS AND ONE STICKER PER PACK. DID GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 GET A SET? 21ST CENTURY NON-SPORTS FRIGHTEN AND CONFUSE ME AND SEEM TO BE AUTOGRAPH DELIVERY SYSTEMS RATHER THAN TRADING CARDS. THERE HAS TO BE SOME OUT THERE, I WANT A HOLTZMANN CARD. AND A SEQUEL
EVERYONE CRAPS ON GB16 BUT MY THOUGHT IS THIS: IT AIN'T AS GOOD AS GHOSTBUSTERS, BUT IT SURE AS HELL IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS GHOSTBUSTERS II AND I FRIGGIN' LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS II . OK, SO THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH BOTH MOVIES BUT IN THE END THEY ARE BOTH COMEDIES ABOUT SCIENTISTS SHOOTING GHOSTS WITH LASERS AND THAT'S GREAT. AND IF GHOSTBUSTERS II WAS ANY GOOD, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CARTOONIZED TO BE MORE LIKE THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS WITH TECHNICOLOR JANINE AND SLIMER EVERYWHERE. WAS SLIMER EVEN IN THE MOVIE ALL THAT MUCH? I KNOW HE HE ATE TULLY'S LUNCH AND WAS A GHOSTLY BUS DRIVER AS THIS STICKER DEPICTS BUT HE SURE WASN'T THE GHOSTBUSTER'S PET LIKE IN THE CARTOON. HE MIGHT HAVE HAD MORE SCREEN TIME IN THE ORIGINAL NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. SLIMER HAD A GIRLFRIEND IN THE 2016 MOVIE AND THEY BOTH RIDE INTO THE PORTAL TO HELL IN THE ECTO-1.WAIT DID THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. WAS THAT A REAL THING OR IS DEMENTIA SETTING IN. I RELUCTANTLY AGREE THAT BOTH MOVIES HAVE MOMENTS THAT ARE COMPLETELY SILLY AND SOMETIMES EMBARRASSING BUT THEY ARE MOVIES ABOUT SCIENTISTS WHO SHOOT GHOSTS. THE '84 VERSION AIN'T PERFECT EITHER, WTF WAS UP WITH RAY GETTING A BLOWIE FROM CASPER THE WAY TOO FRIENDLY GHOST. I WAS ELEVEN WHEN I SAW THAT SHIT
ANYWAY, THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR NEGATIVITY, THIS IS A TIME TO PRAISE STUPID FUN HORROR COMEDIES AND CELEBRATE STICKERS OF DEAD WORKING CLASS SPIRITS WHO LOVE HOT DOGS AND SNOTTING ALL OVER PEOPLE
PUZZLE BACK! EVERYONE LOVES THE PUZZLE BACK STICKERS. THIS ONE HAS SOMEONE WEARING ALL BLACK AND CARRYING A PROTON PACK.I JUST WATCHED THE ORIGINAL LAST WEEK AND THE BLACK SUITS INSTEAD OF THE BEIGE ONES IS THROWING ME. DAMN GHOSTBUSTERS SAVE ONE CITY FROM A SUMERIAN DEMON AND GO ALL HOLLYWOOD. ALTHOUGH I BET THEY LOOK BETTER AFTER A SLIMING

It's a beauty. And coincidentally the last one I need of the sticker inserts!
Saw a guy with a box of Ghostbusters II trading cards on Saturday. I asked about it, but the $30 price tag was too rich for my blood.
What do I remember most from Ghostbusters II? It isn't the movie. It was the Ectoplasm Green Hi-C fruit drink. Yep, Hi-C repackaged for the movie and us kids drank the snot out of that stuff!!!
