We clicked on over to www.paranormalstudieslab.com and discovered Sony has launched a full viral site dedicated to the ghost busting devices.
In fact, the site opens with a special featurette headlined by an actual particle physicist who talks about creating a working Proton Pack. There’s a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage to go with concept art and inside info. I suspect this site will be updated regularly with new info about all of the Ghostbusters’ “tools”.
For now, click over to the site for concept art and schematics for the PKE Meter, Proton Packs, Ghost Traps, and the infamous Ecto-1.
Watch for 2.0 to unlock soon…

Curry Barker Writing and Directing Original Horror Movie for Universal & Blumhouse
Curry Barker is a hot commodity in Hollywood in the wake of Obsession‘s $300 million box office success, with original horror-comedy Anything But Ghosts and the next installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise already on Barker’s dance card. What else can we expect from Barker in the coming years? For starters, another original horror movie.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news tonight that Curry Barker will write and direct an untitled horror movie for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.
THR reports, “In closing what is described as a rich eight-figure deal, Barker will write, produce and direct his third film for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.”
“All details are being kept secret, but it is described as a Barker original horror idea,” the outlet notes. “The project was bought off of a pitch Barker made to Universal’s top brass.”
“This film is something I’ve been excited to make for a while, and I’m thrilled to be reteaming with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Film Group for it,” Curry Barker himself said in a statement tonight. “They’ve built the kind of home for bold, original storytelling that every filmmaker dreams of, and I couldn’t imagine better collaborators for this film.”
James Wan and Jason Blum said in a joint statement, “With Obsession, Curry did what only a handful of filmmakers manage in a generation: he made something wholly original that connected with a massive audience, and that connection is what we care about most. The best filmmakers can work anywhere, and we are proud to have a growing slate with Curry. Getting to put this project in front of the fans his work speaks to is the whole reason we do this.”
Stay tuned for more on all things Curry Barker.
