Ghostbusters Movies: All 5 ranked from Worst to Best!

The Ghostbusters franchise has been running for 40 years, with two hit movies in the 80’s, then introduced to a whole new generation with three more movies from 2016 onwards. Unlike my Transformers Movie rankings where it was easy to rate all 8 movies in order from worst to best, I found this list of 5 Ghostbusters movies quite hard.  There is a general consensus about what constitutes the worst…

🚫Happy Ghostbusters Day!👻

To celebrate the 40th anniversary, I’m taking a trip down memory lane with past fan-art. It gives me so much joy to look at all these and recount the enjoyment this franchise has given me, the inspirations, how much I’ve improved as an artist since I did these, and best of all, the friends I’ve made in this community and are still with me to this day. 

(And definitely not because I couldn’t get the piece I had in mind finished on-time)

Ghostbusters: Soul Resurgence

My first fic! I recently got really hyperfixated of Ghostbusters (thanks Frozen Empire) and decided to write a fic. This story will feature plot points from Ghostbusters 2 and characters from Afterlife onward (minus Lucky, Melody, and Podcast). This fic is set a few years after Frozen Empire. Also, a big thank you to @phantomoftheparadise0002 for beta-reading this. Lisa, you're amazing!

Summary: When the spirit of Sumerian sorceress Ahassunu, daughter of Vigo, possesses Alexis, the Ghostbusters must band together to determine the fate of the world

Translation for Sumerian: I will raise up the dead here to consume the living. Gatekeeper, open the gate for me. Such are rites of the mistress of the Netherworld.

Ray felt a smile come across his face as he heard the roar of Alex's bike quiet as she parked in front of the occult shop. Closing the book of ancient Sumerian history, his smile grew as the door opened.

“Hey.” Alex smiled, closing the door behind her. “What'd you need help with?”

“How's your Sumerian?” Ray asked, reopening the book.

“Considering you taught me it when I was 10 and I minored in it, I would say I’m pretty decent. Why do you ask?” Pushing her glasses back up on her nose, she rounded the counter.

“I'm trying to decipher this legend but I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty.” Ray smiled as he slid the book over to her.

“Let's see.” She pulled the stool closer to the counter, focusing intently on the book. “Looks like it's about the sorceress Ahassunu.”

“Ahassunu.” Ray whispered, slightly perplexed.

“Isn't that Vigo's daughter?” Alex asked, intrigued.

“I believe it is.” A smile lit up his face.

Turning back to the book, Alex read aloud, “After the death of her father, Vigo the Unholy, she took the throne by force, slaughtering the armies that tried in vain to keep her from it.”

Ray's eyes widened as she continued.

"The longer she sat upon the throne, the more her power grew. It was said that her power grew so great that runes burned themselves upon her skin as the demons imbued her with their power. It's also said that her eyes turned a deep black, akin to those of the devil himself.”

Ray sat back, releasing a breath.

“Something doesn't make sense here.” She said, leaning closer to the book.

“What do you mean?” Ray asked, looking back at the book.

“Ahassunu was Vigo's daughter, meaning she was Carpathian. Why is she regarded as a Sumerian sorceress?”

Ray's eyes narrowed. “Maybe the story was passed down so many times, her ethnicity was misheard. Like what happens in a game of telephone.”

“That's a possibility, but this book had to have been fact checked by several historians before it was published. That many people missing this large of an error? Doesn't seem plausible to me.”

“Even those who are the most skilled at their craft make mistakes. God knows I did.” Sighing, Ray dropped his gaze from the book.

“Ray, accidentally thinking of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man wasn't a mistake. You thought of the most harmless thing you could. And you helped defeat it. You're a hero.” Placing a hand on his shoulder, she gave him a soft smile.

“Tell that to every person who sued us after.” Ray chuckled.

“You know I would.” Alex's smile grew.

Standing up, Ray closed the book and returned it to its shelf as Alex's phone began to ring.

“Hey, Janine.” She answered. “Can't one of the other guys take care of it? I'm off the clock.”

Ray chuckled, hearing her exasperated sigh.

“Alright. Fine. Just send me the address and I'll come by to pick up my pack. Alright. Bye.” Hanging up, she turned back to Ray. “I gotta go. The Spengler's are still out and apparently I'm the only one capable of being a Ghostbuster tonight.”

“I could come help.” He offered, returning to the counter.

“No. It's fine. I can handle it.” Opening the door, she added over her shoulder, “If you find anything else out about that Carpathian/Sumerian sorceress, let me know.”

“Will do.” Ray chuckled.

As Alex dismounted the bike, she felt her knees nearly give way as she stood. “Been doing this for nearly 20 years now. You think I would be used to the weight.” She muttered to herself.

Walking towards the front of the museum, she was met with the nervous smile of Dr. Janosz Poha. “Dr. Poha.” She said, holding out her hand. “It's a pleasure to meet you.”

Timidly shaking her hand, he gave her a confused look. “The, the lady said Dr. Venkman would be here to take care of the, the thing.” He stuttered, pointing to the building.

Alex sighed. “I apologize for the confusion. My name is Dr. Alexis Venkman. You must've been expecting my father, Dr. Peter Venkman.”

Janosz let out a chuckle. “Oh! Silly me.” He smiled.

“It's quite alright, Dr. Poha.” She smiled.

“Please. Janosz.” He insisted.

Alex nodded as he led her inside the museum.

Stopping just inside the doors, he directed her, “It's, uh, down to the end hall and to the left.”

She watched as his hand shook as he gave directions, thinking of the long term effects his encounter with Vigo must've had on him.

“Good luck!” He shouted as she headed down the hall.

As she moved further down the hall, she began to hear a woman's voice, chanting.

Usella mituti ikkalu baltuti. Ati me peta babka. Sa belet ersetim ki'am parasusa.

As she rounded the corner, she saw a woman on her knees, wearing a security guard's outfit.

Taking a deep breath, Alex turned on her pack.

With one final chant, the guard's body fell limp to the ground as a gust of air flew towards Alex, knocking her over as her world went dark.

Passers-by on the street screamed in fear as the side of the Museum of Natural History blew apart, sending chunks of concrete flying into the busy roadway. Slowly standing up as the commotion seemed to have calmed, they watched as Alex walked to the opening and simply floated away.

Eurovision 2004 - Number 35 - Alex - "I'm Still Alive"

Krajowe Eliminacje, Poland's national final is in its second year in 2004 and it's already got a distinctive flavour as well as a professional approach. TVP favour rockier and more alternative entries and do manage to attract some of Poland's bigger names to compete.

A new face this year is Alex aka Ala aka Alicja Janosz. She won the 2002 Polish edition of the Pop Idol franchise and then went on to be the Polish representative in the one-off World Idol competition. There she sang against Kelly Clarkson and Guy Sebastian. She is no stranger to international singing competitions! By 2004, she's released a successful debut album and is trying to get into Eurovision.

I'm Still Alive is one of the first cases of a national final song being written by a team of Swedes. In this case a group of rockers with a history in Swedish bands including Leif Sundin a man lauded by Jimmy Page but who also wrote songs for Swedish teen band A-Teens. Alex's sound is late 90s/early 00s transatlantic alt-rock with a skater-girl vibe. The song is a vigorous tale of relationship survival from a woman who's careless with her car keys.

This genre of music hasn't been represented so much at Eurovision itself. However it's just past its contemporary peak, it's becoming more popular in national finals, and for Krajowe Eliminacje especially, this just fits right in. It did well - although the competition was strong in 2004, Alex finished fourth of the fifteen songs. Just left out of a tight three-way battle for the win. She later donated the song and it's copyrights to UNHCR for their charity album Voyces United

What followed this seems to have been a disagreement between her and her record label. Apart from appearances at festivals and collaborations with other artists, there was no recorded output from Alex despite her popularity. It wasn't until 2011 and a split from her record label that another Alicija released another album. Four more have followed with the most recent in 2023. The past decade has seen her make up for lost time.

Here she is singing Friend with Jarek Krużołek in 2023.
