It's Black Friday...again. Another year of the masses trampling over terrified retail employees, pepper spraying their obstacles over a high speed blender, pushing little kids to the ground for a high def big screen T.V.

I loved the films, the cartoon show...I had the toys and to this day I still await the Hi-C Ecto Cooler when a new Ghostbusters film premiers.
