Bustin' makes you feel good
Ghostbusters mixed comedy and the supernatural into a classic, and this word search gathers its world. You'll start with the team — VENKMAN, STANTZ and SPENGLER — their gloopy green mascot SLIMER, and the gear that catches the spooks: the PROTON PACK and the ghost TRAP.
Each puzzle pulls a fresh selection from the list, so the haunting is rearranged every time you play — gentle on Easy, and a Hard-mode case once the diagonals and backwards words appear.
Ghosts, gear and the firehouse
The whole supernatural world is here. Track down the demon ZUUL, the gatekeeper GOZER, and a grid full of spooks — GHOST, GHOUL, SPECTER and SPOOK. There's the ECTO-1 car, the team's FIREHOUSE HQ, the green SLIME and GOO, the towering STAY PUFT marshmallow man, and the spooky LIBRARY where it all begins.
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters arrived in 1984, directed by Ivan Reitman and written by stars Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who played the team alongside Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson. It mixed big special effects with deadpan comedy, following a trio of struggling scientists who set up a ghost-catching business in New York City.
It became one of the biggest films of the decade, helped along by Ray Parker Jr's irresistibly catchy theme song and its 'Who you gonna call?' hook. The Ecto-1 car, the proton packs and the giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man are now pop-culture icons, and the story has carried on through sequels and the recent Afterlife films.
