21 Classic Ghostbusters Collectibles That Are Necessities For Any Aspiring Ghost Hunter

Published:

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! That’s right, this classic 1984 movie about a group of paranormal investigators who save New York City from supernatural threats became a merchandising juggernaut like no other.

After the success of the original film, Ghostbusters spawned not one but multiple sequels – Ghostbusters II in 1989 and the all-female reboot in 2016, Ghostbusters: Afterlife in 2021, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in 2024. But that’s not all! The franchise also gave birth to a whole slew of animated series, including The Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, and even a crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But let’s talk about the merch, baby! From action figures to toothpaste, from video games to Halloween costumes, there was no shortage of Ghostbusters merch for fans to get their hands on. Who wouldn’t want their very own proton pack and ghost trap to play with?

Let’s not forget the impact the Ghostbusters had on pop culture. Ray Parker Jr.’s catchy theme song became a chart-topping hit, and who could forget the iconic logo of the crossed-out ghost? It’s no wonder that Ghostbusters remains a beloved franchise to this day, with fans young and old still donning their ghostbusting jumpsuits.
