I was three when Ghostbusters II came out for general release… so sadly I have no memories of that. The earliest I remember watching it was on a VHS casette my Mum had somehow gotten hold of, I can't remember much about that viewing other than it generated my love for the RMS Titanic and for the Subway Station I would eventually discover to be the inspiration for the visual design of Van Horne, the disused IRT City Hall Subway station.

i think GBII is very underrated, its a GB movie!!!! its awesome!! i still have my vhs tapes

I agree so much. It's a really great film, i don't get why people hate it so much, especially GB fans.

I was 8 years old when Ghostbusters II was out and I remember watching it in the drive-in theater after seeing the last part of Batman. I really liked the new logo and I had a nice Ghostbusters II poster hanging up my room until my sister intentionally ripped it because I playfully made fun of New Kids on the Block. When I think back at the movie during that time, when Venkman caught Oscar; I thought he was thrown further and Venkman caught him like a football..so over-dramatic hahaa… I also missed Elmer Bernstein's music.

I saw GBII in theaters when I was 14. Loved it…. Kept making my own slime (corn starch) that whole Summer and made a cardboard pack with backpack straps. I also remember watching the GBs on Oprah a few months before it came out. Sigourney does look especially great in that (Oprah) clip btw.

To this day I'm still searching for the GBII theater standee. Oh yeah and bring on :

already!!

I've told my story before, but dammit, here it goes again:

It was the coldest day of the year, so my mom, my aunt and my cousins all piled in the car and drove from the farm to West Des Moines (where I live now coincidentally.) Mom had got me the Neutrona Blaster toy, so I had that with me as we went to the movie. Every time Vigo came on, I twirled it at the screen so he couldn't get me… didn't work for the impaled head scene though, which freaked me the f*** out. My cousin and I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of it, upon getting to the urinal, the type of cleaner they used looked exactly like the slime. Bug eyed, I ran back into the theater to my mom screaming, “IT'S REAL! IT'S REAL!”

Wow. Looking back on it, “Ghostbusters II” is kinda associated with some traumatic stuff. No wonder I turned out the way I did.

I also recall making my own Vigo painting on the back of a large sheet of paper which I taped to my toy room door for when my cousins and I played “big Ghostbusters”, which translated to using the guns and stuff and not the action figures.

I remember felling like Christmas came early during the summer of 1989, when the film opend. GB II was the first movie that I saw twice at the local drive in the suburbs of Albany NY.

I had to stop watching the film for a short time on VHS because Vigo caused me too many nightmares as a young boy. Thankfully watching the film again in 1999 as a teenager I over being scared by him. Also I really surprised at all the merchandise that missed out on way back when. I had the soundtrack on tape, some coloring books, the GB II jumpsuit that JC Penny sold, the Fuji film Ecto 1A and the Topps trading cards. Thanks to the internet now I am slowly hunting stuff like the Gameboy game, the Soundtrack on CD and the RGB NOW comics adpatation, which I read just the other day in honor of the films 20th anniversary

I just watched the film last weekend and as I love it just much now as did back in my childhood. While not a perfect movie, I liked it alot better than Men In Black II and several other squeals to big name movies that I felt were over hyped.

I was 10 years old in 1989 and remember going to see it in cinemas. That was a great summer/year for films. Also remembering getting an activity book of which didn't use the four actors likenesses and getting the Storybook.
Now I'm wanting to hunt down the Making of Book if there ever were one.:-)

I was 3 years old when Ghostbusters 2 came out. My mom tells me I hid under the seat in the theater when Vigo started to come out of the painting and she debated leaving the theater because it may have been to scary for me and my brothers. Glad she didn't though! Happy anniversary, GB2, I notice new things in the background every time I watch you!

I was three when GB2 came out. I remember my dad had to turn it off when Vigo appeared out of the painting. Scared the bejesus out of me… I also remember purchasing the colouring book at the news agency and and making my poor grandma remove any pages with Vigo on them! My Carpathian-phobia progressed to the point of being scared of a portrait of a woman that hung in my house. There were definitely more paintings with bad spirits in them!

I also wrangled my artist godfather to build me a slime scoop - quite an excellent reproduction for a 3 year old - it actually retracted and had a green LED on it that lit up. I remember pretending the storm water canal in a park here in Sydney was the river of slime and I'd get a sample with my ecto-scoop. Good times yo!

I was 6 when it came out. I had seen part 1 when I was 4 because my parents taped it on hbo when it came on. I was only 1 years old when part one hit the theater so I couldn't see it but my parents did. Being big SNL fans at the time. They got me into it and between that and the cartoon I was hooked. When I was actually able to go see gb2 on opening day at the theater it was like opening a Christmas gift. Great movie that gets no respect from the masses. After the movie was over my dad got my brother and I a gb2 poster each. One with just the logo and the other with the ghostbusters on it. Great memories of that movie. Happy anniversary ghostbusters 2. Where is the blu ray DVD I have been waiting for?
