![]() THE ORIGINAL PROMO PILOT To help sell the series, a 3 minutes and 50 seconds long promo video was created. This video features the characters and buildings in their original forms, which varies greatly from how they look in the series. Footage from this video was used in: an ABC promo to announce the premiere of the series in the Fall of 1986, a Blockbuster Video promo to announce the original Magic Window home video VHS release of the series in 1987, a Syndication promo to announce the premiere of the series in syndication in the Fall of 1987, and in the opening credits of "The Halloween Door" primetime special in 1989. The first 54 seconds of the promo was used in its entirety in the Syndication promo and in the Blockbuster Video promo, but with different narration. Once the Ghostbusters start sliding down the firepole in silhouette, that's when the Blockbuster Video promo cuts to other footage, while the Syndication promo continues the shot up to the point where the Ecto-1 comes racing out of the firehouse, at which point it stills on the logo on the side of the car. Below you will find video and images from the pilot, as well as the ABC, Blockbuster Video, and Syndication promos. The full complete pilot can be found on The Real Ghostbusters: Complete Collection DVD box set. If you enjoy the low quality copy of it seen below, buy the high quality DVD. The text description of the promo was written up by James Eatock. The ABC promo was given to me by Lanny White, and the Blockbuster Video promo was given to me by Doreen Mulman. All files have been digitalized by me, Paul Rudoff, except for the Syndication promo which was uploaded by an unknown YouTube user. -- EXTERNAL LINKS -- Blockbuster Promo then ABC Promo (one second of GB2 newscast at very end) Blockbuster Promo (poor quality) |
