After consulting Torgo from 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' and given the bones of the cursed African prince, Mamuwalde – Willis ressurects Blacula (William Marshall) from his sanguineous slumber on the other side. Things quickly go south and it's up to Lisa, her boyfriend Justin (Don Mitchell), and some completely incompetent cops to stop Blacula's curse once and for all. Will Pam Grier resist the vampires kiss and be able to cure Blacula via VooDoo? How much evidence is adequate to prove vampires exist? Why are these extra characters here except to beef up the kill count? Just exactly WTF happened with this horror movie?

With the help of his Fairy Godmother Karen Chéryl and her magic wand, Santa takes a trek across Africa to find Simon's parents, come hell or high crocodile-infested water. If that wasn't enough, Simon and his possible imaginary friend Elodie travel to the North Pole (or Rovaniemi, Finland we guess), to make sure Santa doesn't back out.

The Real Ghostbusters S1 E10"Take Two":Get ready for Hollywood's surefire blockbuster about the Ghostbusters. The advisors to the project are the guys themselves, and Slimer joins them on their flight to Hollywood. Tinsel Town may not be ready for the resulting antics, but bigger problems await. The studio turns out to be the home to a ghost that demands total peace and quiet, and it has just woken up. Even worse, workers mistake the proton packs for props and place them in storage without the Ghostbusters' knowledge. When the ghost possesses a giant robot prop and begins an attack, the guys find themselves completely defenseless.Original Air Date: November 15, 1986Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)

WHO YA GONNA CALL? EGON’S GRANDKIDS! Dr. La Scola and Dr. O’Rourke are talking about ‘Ghostbusters 3’ if you will, the long-awaited sequel to the 1984 and 1989 classic Ghostbusters movies.

She’s joined by her brother Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and podcasting friend Podcast (Logan Kim) in zapping and trapping ghosts, with a little help from Phoebe’s summer school teacher Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd).

While rebuilding their headquarters and Ecto-Containment Unit, the group is forced to deal with a certain green ghost from the Sedgwick Hotel (which Ray named Slimer). But having the green ghost constantly hanging around them is nothing compared to the trouble they have when a group of evil ghostly doubles decide to take their place, by getting rid of the original Ghostbusters.Original Air Date: November 22, 1986Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/moviedumpster)
