“The Real Ghostbusters” Series Finally Getting DVD/Digital Release!
Back in 2009, Time Life Entertainment released the ultimate box set, an extremely limited edition firehouse collection of every single episode of “The Real Ghostbusters,” as well as “Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters”. They’re long gone and have left Ghostbusters fans regretting not picking it up.
Well, good news comes this Monday morning as Bloody Disgusting just landed news that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release over 50 episodes of the iconic 1980s animated series on DVD and Digital July 7th, from Ivan Reitman, DiC and Sony Pictures Television.
While there are no details as of this writing, the hope is that the digital release are HD transfers, although I suspect we may be getting a SD release to go along with the DVDs. There are no complaints here as we’re lucky to even have the opportunity to own the entire collection of one of the best animated kids shows ever.
The series, which ran from September 13, 1986 to October 5, 1991, follows the continuing adventures of the four Ghostbusters (Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore), their secretary Janine, their accountant Louis, and their mascot Slimer, as they chase and capture rogue spirits around New York and various other areas of the world.

“The Real Ghostbusters” was an authentic sequel to the Ghostbusters films, and was eventually continued in “The Extreme Ghostbusters,” now streaming on Hulu.
This morning SPHE also announced 4K Ultra HD releases of the first two Ghostbusters films.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
