Screen Used "Gozer" Costume from "Ghostbusters"

misterfusion · 01-21-2010, 01:00 PM

Stumbled across this on a rack of "Unidentified" costumes.

There's a few minor runs in the body stocking, and most of the plastic bubbles are dented in due to be crammed on a rack, but I'm going to start the restoration soon.

It even came with 2 pair of shoes!

Sorry for the kind of crappy pics. Just from my cell phone, but I'll do some better shots during the restoration and post them if anyone is interested.

OK now THAT is a cool find! How stoked were you when you pulled that off the rack!

Nataku · 01-21-2010, 01:59 PM

Unidentified?

Wow, that looks like something Lady Gaga would wear!

niennumb1 · 01-21-2010, 04:06 PM

Maybe it IS something Lady Gaga wore and we just assumed it was Gozer! HAHAHAAH!

Awesome find Bro!

Beechy McFly · 01-21-2010, 06:17 PM

One of the worse costumes, but damn that's pretty.. Great find..

propsculptor · 01-21-2010, 06:58 PM

Wow, interesting find, I look forward to seeing it restored!

Hotshot · 01-21-2010, 07:46 PM

Too cool . .I'm very jealous!!

misterfusion · 01-21-2010, 07:56 PM

The guy who owned the company before we moved in would go to the studios and just pull stuff off of racks that were being thinned out. I don't think anybody remembered the significance and it just fell thru the cracks...fortunately!

And the previous owner didn't know what it was, either, he just thought it was interesting and maybe something he could rent.

It got pulled off a rack here and hung in a hallway for a couple of weeks of me walking by it. One day a light bulb went off and voila!

Man, I've got to frequent more studios, I guess. The stuff they just get rid of amazes me. "Unidentified"...wow...

garver76 · 01-22-2010, 12:39 AM

100% AWESOME!! I love that costume, and love the movie of course. I'm drooling with jealousy

How great!
Amazing nobody knew what it was.
Really amazing considering that Ghostbusters was and is
so massively popular.

I love when stuff gets rescued.

CTF · 01-22-2010, 04:07 AM

Score!

The Stig · 01-22-2010, 04:11 AM

Wow! Hell of a find!

pandatrooper · 01-23-2010, 03:39 AM

Wow, that is awesome! In pretty good shape for the most part!

CommanderCody · 01-23-2010, 04:20 AM

That's great!! Aim for the flat top!

A seriously impressive find, I wish you luck with the restoration

westies 14 · 01-23-2010, 09:16 AM

Crazy that stuff like that can happen! What a find!

RoCKo · 01-23-2010, 07:32 PM

what a great find and what a even better story for such a piece of (childhood)history!
congratulations!

exo95er · 01-23-2010, 09:33 PM

Are you a god?

Fantastic find! Is it a faded white (now cream) and is it see-through like a stocking?

Jedi Reali · 01-23-2010, 10:06 PM

Amazing! Good luck with the restoration!
