Welcome boils and ghouls to Spook Central's 13 Days of Tales from the Crypt: Ghostbusters Cast Spotlight. For the next two weeks, I will look at Tales from the Crypt episodes featuring cast members from the entire spectrum of the Ghostbusters franchise. Tales from the Crypt, for those who don't know, is a horror anthology series that ran for seven seasons on HBO from June 10, 1989 to July 19, 1996. Inspired by the 1950s EC Comics series of the same name, the show revels in nudity, gore, strong language, camp, and twist endings; taking full advantage of its premium cable home. Each episode is hosted by the Cryptkeeper, a wisecracking corpse performed by several puppeteers and voiced by John Kassir.
Given the nature of the series, I would be remiss if I did not give a HUGE CONTENT WARNING and a HUGE SPOILER WARNING if you continue reading this article. I will not shy away from any graphic gory imagery if warranted, and I am highly likely to go into plot details, including the twist ending.

Playmobil Ghostbusters Archival Materials (Apps, Comics, Coloring Pages, Manuals)
From May 2017 to October 2020, German toy maker Playmobil released a series of figures and playsets based on Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and The Real Ghostbusters. The sets are no longer being manufactured, because Playmobil no longer has the Ghostbusters license, so much of the materials related to the toyline are no longer online. Thankfully, a lot of it has been saved by fans, such as myself and Matt Jordan.
