In stores October 27th from Insight Editions is the hardback edition of “Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History,” which can be pre-ordered on Amazon.

For the first time, “Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History” takes a comprehensive look at the entire franchise, telling the complete story behind the creation of a true pop culture phenomenon.

Beginning with an in-depth look at the original film, “Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History” delves into the archives to showcase a wealth of never-before-seen concept art and photography that will take fans into the production of a true classic. Also featuring a large section on Ghostbusters II, the book brings together exclusive interviews with the key players from both films, including director Ivan Reitman; stars Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver; and producers Michael C. Gross and Joe Medjuck.

Bloody Disgusting has an authorized first look at some of the pages out of “Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History,” which reveal a sneak peak at early Slimer and Stay Puft concept art, as well as never-before-seen shots from behind-the-scenes of the filming of both Ghostbusters films! There are a few more pics over at Amazon.

Thom Enriquez got closer to the final design with these Terror Dog concepts. Eventually a handful of illustrations was handed over to Randy Cook at Boss Films who would amalgamate them into a final design and sculpt the initial Terror Dog maquette.
