Here at Fun.com, we write about nearly every pop culture and genre fiction franchise––we know our blasters from our phasers and our Darkseids from our Thanoses––but the fan reactions to certain developments still puzzle us. Why certain worlds inspire this kind of devotion in their fans is clear––Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Marvel and DC comics, Game of Thrones, Star Trek, Doctor Who––they’re all structured around the kind of world-building that leaves the audience wanting to know more about the settings these characters inhabit. They’re as much about creating whole societies that are different from––but reflective of––our own as they are about telling stories, so it’s obvious why they invite escapism and obsession.

That said, the reaction to the remake of Ghostbusters, ostensibly a comedy film from the 80s, sort of floored us. We could have predicted this reaction to a more testosterone-fueled franchise, like, say, an all-female Predator or Universal Soldier movie. (On second thought, those both sound awesome.) Ghostbusters though? It’s not like Dan Akroyd was ever a picture of muscle-rippling masculinity. But we guess the series has shown its staying power before. With three live action films, two cartoon shows (and one upcoming one), and a slew of comics, novels, a video game, a theme park attraction and other spin-offs, the Ghostbusters universe has proven itself as thematically rich as any other pop culture vein despite its relatively constrained premise or four Manhattanites suckin’ up gooey ghosts with backpack vacuums.

In this Plus Size Ghostbusters Grand Heritage Costume, you can be any incarnation of the Ghostbusters you’d like. Yeah, of course it’s modeled after the original 1984 movie––it’s a classic! But besides the addition of some orange safety stripes and some stylin’ galoshes, the Ghostbusters uniform hasn’t changed much in the intervening decades. So whether you want to be the original Harold Ramis Egon Spengler, his blonde cartoon counterpart, or his carton’s gender-swapped reincarnation Jillian Holtzmann, you’ll be all set. What other crew would you call anyway, the Scooby gang? Nah, that talking dog’s probably possessed himself. When there’s something weird and it don’t look good, the Ghostbusters suit up. Because bustin’ feels good.

So your little guy came home from school the other day saying that some kid in his class said some (frankly forgettable) Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from 1984 was the best movie of the 80s. Your boy said that didn’t sound right, but wanted your opinion. Umm, obviously, you have a lot of opinions about this.

Our suggestion, don’t sit your kid down to watch movies all day, and don’t sit him down to talk about the finer points of the extent of German Existentialism in modern American movies, or the lasting impact that special effects from the 80s made on pop culture--both of you have things to do, and neither of you have a week to put together a fully formed argument. Instead, just pull out this Deluxe Ghostbusters Boys Costume from your closet and give it to your kid to put on. As soon as he zips it up and straps on the proton pack, he’ll know exactly why Ghostbusters was the best movie to come out of the 80s, no discussion required.

This costume is so cool, you’ll be able to see the comedic brilliance of Bill Murray, or the dry wit of Harold Ramis in his eyes; or maybe you’ll sense the comedic timing of Kristen Wiig and the genius improvisational ability of Kate McKinnon in his actions. Either way, this officially licensed outfit--complete with printed Ghostbuster logo patches and an inflatable proton pack--is perfect for convincing any 80s cinephile about where this movie stands.
