Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Ghostbusters and Poltergeist stand as prime examples of a particular era of filmmaking that had a massive impact on me and my perception of what movies should be. One of the reasons I’m so caught up on practical effects is because of their execution in those two movies.
Today we’ll look at a really sweet, if not super rare, Behind the Scenes picture from Ghostbusters showcasing some real magicians at work. If I’m not mistaken this is for the shot where Egon says the immortal “I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.”
Looks like man-in-suit and model work all Godzilla style. Man, I love this scale model stuff. It really gets my geek up.
Sorry it’s not bigger, but here’s the pic:

If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare, the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
T’was beauty killed tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes pic. See ya’ then!
