Remember That Ecto-1 Wheelchair Story? It Just Got Better [Halloween Treat]

Published

on

Literally one week ago, we posted a story about Ryan Scott Miller, a father whose son, Jeremy, is confined to a wheelchair. Not wanting Jeremy to miss out on Halloween and trick or treating, he built a Ghostbusters costume to go around the wheelchair. He didn’t make it look cheap either, going so far as to install “…working headlights, siren lights, tail lights and speakers for Ghostbusters siren and theme music!” It was a heartwarming story that saw many label Ryan the “Father of the Year”.

It turns out that the story warmed the hearts of Ghost Corps., a division of Columbia Pictures that is tasked with expanding the Ghostbusters universe. The team there invited the Millers to their lot so that Jeremy could meet the real Ecto-1, the one that was used in the films! There’s video and photos of the encounter below.

I know that the Ghostbusters brand went through a lot of controversy over the past couple of years but this is a great story, no matter how you look at it.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
