Spook Central

This was going to be the first "Spook Central Facebook Exclusive Alert". I was going to mention it here to give one of you the opportunity to grab it, but someone found it before I had the chance to make the post. Still, it was such a damn good deal that I felt it was worth mentioning for posterity.

R.I.P. Capt. Lou. Wise Guys was a great movie that no one knows about.

Here's something interesting that I just found out earlier this year.

Wrestler/actor Captain Lou Albano is featured in "The Honeymooners" comic book, issue #7 (from Triad Publications in April 1988): http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=bibliography&issue=40743600230%207

In the middle of the book is an interview with Lou, in which he discusses his roles in Wise Guys and Body Slam. He adds, "I've also done Scrooge now, which will be out next year, a cameo as Frankie the hot dog man with Bill Murray."... Read More

He meant Scrooged, of course, but this is the first time I've ever read of him being in the film. Obviously he's not in the final film (unless I forgot about a hot dog man being in the film), so if Lou was telling the truth, he must be in a deleted scene. Too bad the Scrooged DVD doesn't have any deleted scenes on it.

thats crazy!

Why isn't there any behind the scenes type of stuff for GB2? Yes it's no where near as good as the original, but I would love to know some of the special effects stuff, like the slime, how they did the Statue of Liberty scenes and how they re-did Ecto-1 with all the new equipment. Is there a DVD that has all this?

Effects man William Forsche has been posting a lot of behind the scenes videos to his YouTube account. I wish Sony would license these videos from him to put on DVD and Blu-Ray. Check them out at http://www.youtube.com/ForscheDesign

Thanks so much for that link! Great behind the scenes footage. I don't know if you have before, but you should tell all the other Ghostheads about this YouTube channel.
