Adam Savage's Ghostbusters Costume
Ғылым және технология
To celebrate both Halloween this week and the 30th anniversary of the release of Ghostbusters, Adam shares his own Ghostbusters uniform and prop replicas that he has made and assembled over the years. We geek out over fond memories of the film and its contributions to cosplay culture. This is a costume that anybody can make!

As a Ghostbusters cosplayer of over 10 years. I'm saddened by the inaccuracies from this master cosplayer both verbally and visually. Edit: I just saw one of Adam's more recent Q&A from his cave, and the suit seems to be corrected

You have to watch his new proton pack. It is insane and accurate with his own touches that he knows aren’t accurate
This has been my halloween tradition for more than 20 years: Watching ghostbusters 1&2 back to back. I still have ghostbusters in widescreen format on laserdisc!

That's awesome. I love laserdiscs.
As far as I'm concerned, the late 70's and early 80's were the pinnacle of sci-fi prop making in Hollywood. Films like Ghostbusters, OT Star Wars, Alien, and Blade Runner. I just love that cobbled together "scrapyard/hardware store" aesthetic. Really gives things a sense of function and utility, in my opinion.

Ah, a fond childhood memory. Thanks guys. I remember that Ghostbusters II was one of the first CDs that we ever saw when I was little.
Saw it in the theater when it first came out. Great movie. Great costume.
Funny how even without the name patch, you can still tell it's Venkman because of the untucked boots.
I would love to see Adam savage showing of all of his costume collection in one video!!!
Love this! Love it! I have so wanted to put together a Ghostubsters costume for so long. It was a big deal for me. I won tickets and a friend of mine and I got to go downtown by ourselves to see it. It was awesome! Still one of the memories that I cherish most in my life.
Ah yes...that classic, unforgettable line: "Don't cross the beams!"
Anyone else notice the spider head from "The Thing" in the background?

This was my Halloween costume this year. Wanted to do this for quite some time, So built my own pack. By no means movie accurate , but still had a great time with it. Really cool to see these pro-level costumes from Adam.
And six years later here we are getting pumped for Afterlife!
is it weird I'm watching and just noticing all the inacuracies in his costume and proton pack
thank you adam for makin my childhood a reality!!!! you are my venkman!!!
The head from the thing! Holy crap!!!
That's crazy awesome...
Thirty years! This movie was so funny I remember exactly where I saw it and who with....god I feel old. fyi...I howled with laughter when Ray said in a defeated voice...'It's the stay puft marshmallow man'.(cut to giant walking marshmallow)
Great stuff! I would love to catch a glimpse of the older trap build Adam mentioned.
Let's be honest, this is what most of us subscribed to Tested for.
The led-lights on the goggles are from jurassic park :-)
Great video! Keep it up. I love watching all your content, and await further videos.
Love it. I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that Adams pack didn't make any sounds. The start-up noise is iconic. I know money is an issue, but come on, it's Adam! Still have to say I am quite jealous.
The ribbon cable is made like that. It is a twisted pair system used for balanced signals such as phone lines.
Looks good. I think the new Ghostbusters movie should actually cast Adam Savage.
Actually, adam’s thrower is a little inaccurate due to the lights, if you notice the light at the end of the barrel is always on but, on the actual replica packs the barrel light is activated by the button labeled intensify
I love ghost Busters, "who you gonna call".
Awesome! Been working on one of these for a wile...
If there´s something strange With your physics book Who ya gonna call? MYTHBUSTERS!
What I remember most about Ghostbusters was that it was the first time I had seen guerrilla marketing. All around town I remember seeing the "Not" Ghost logo on telephone poles and wondering what it was all about. I can even remember the exact spot I first saw it.
Myself and three friends dressed up as Ghostbusters a few years back for a Halloween event at a club. Our backpacks were just made out of plastic fuel containers, spray painted black with the various bits on them. But the real beauty of this feat was not having to pay for drinks because we managed to sneak all our own alcohol in via the backpack units! Now that was a spooky night...
Great props and costume :)
I want to see Adam and Jaime react to mythbuster vs ghostbusters erb I wonder why they haven't made a reaction video yet
Thats realy cool Adam
It's so weird how they uploaded this only a couple weeks before Epic Rap Battles of History uploaded their Season 4 premiere.
i had one of the ghost traps when i was a kid and it was awesome, unfortunately i lost it somewhere along the way...
A mind shattering rap battle brought me here.
First it was just Norm's videos that I was only getting audio out of the left channel, but now it appears to be all Tested videos. Specifically when watching these on devices that aren't my PC, like when I use the Wii U KZread app.
Awesome!!
Will and Adam are morphing into the same!
The gun attached to the proton pack is called a neutrino wand, the pack you're talking about from GB2 is called a slime blower and the no ghost patch goes on your arm (Adams is where his name tag should be).
I dig it guys. According to the sources I've heard from Ghost Busters 3 is finalized. YAY!
The End of the Proton Pack Thing is called the "Neutrino wand" something or rather
did the audio quality drop in this?

Yeah, it went from 2380V to 1347i, it was a problem with the crossdrifter. The mic sturrup was mixed with the unicorn dust intake. *Proceeds to stare confidently, while making firm eye contact, as if he just said something that made perfect sense and sounded really smart.* I can fix that, but it will cost around $2400.00. If I have to order the distortion brake, otherwise it will be $1175.00. That's Euros, but I don't have that note on my keybox.

The severed head prop from THING always seems to always grab my attention in these videos. Would it be possible to get a video of that piece? :)
Is that Norris' head from The Thing in the background? It has got to be the perfect thing to scare kids with on halloween.
I know the original "PKE" meter was made from a shoe buffer. I think there was some other famous prop that was made from the same exact shoe polisher, or at least same design.
Awesome!
OMG, is that the actual costume and gadgets from the Ghostbusters set!? (SO COOL)
That shock mount seems like half the size it should be. But pretty solid build honestly. Looks good. Hat lights are the right color.
Awhile ago Adam promised us R2D2 coverage. We are still waiting.
Adam's awesome!
Such an awesome movie Also, I wonder if Adam saw the ERB with The Mythbusters and Ghostbusters?
What no proton pack start up sound? That's the coolest part.
I want a vid on Palmer's head in the background. John Carpenter's remake of The Thing is one of my favorite movies of all time and even today the effects were amazing.

this is awesome. i'm currently in the middle of slapping a ghostbusters costume together. will look like crap but i've been collecting parts for 3 years and am impatient. i can build the next one better.

Jim Williams I'm sure you're right. And in the elevator scene he refers to it as a nuclear egg-salad rater.
Actually if I remember correctly from the movie, Bill Murry's character referred to it as a Positron Collider in the first movie. They also periodically referred to it as a Proton Pack. I think in the elevator going up to get their first ghost it was referred to as "an unlicensed nuclear accelerator" But the first name Bill Murry used to describe it when hollering at a ghost he said something like "you'll never attack a man with a Positron Collider again" Whatever that is.

Ah, come on! How long would a lighting bolt effect have taken at the end of the clip? :-)
No nametag?
This got me thinking. Ghostbusters has an amazing soundtrack/theme Song. But what is the best/most iconic movie theme? Star wars, godfather and deer Hunter springs to mind. Amadeus maybe, but that is Mozart, so I dont know if that counts.
Will, I think you're remembering the ecto goggles from Jurassic Park with the lights around the edges ;)
Lol there was a recent Epic Rap Battles of HIstory on the Ghostbusters vs the Mythbusters…now they are one…so no wars!
Sadly Matty Collector no longer offers a ghost trap, but they do offer the gun, which is called a Neutrino wand, just FYI.
The proton pack is the power cell and the gun is called the neutrono wand.
Awesome
Got a chance to see it at the Lewis & Clark theater/bowling in Tacoma. My dad wanted to see Gremlins instead. Finally saw it on television. The sequel didn't compare.
I'm calling it right now; Adam for the token Rick Moranis Ghostbuster is Ghostbusters 5
iam kind of disapointet by adam, who is always so movie acurate and then i see so many things WRONG on his uniform and gear.........! first the pack needs to be higher on his back, the cyclotronlights (red) are rotating in the wrong direction! the elbowpads are meant to be worn NOT on your knees! and the list keeps on and on and on!

joginator the ghostbusters patch being on his chest rather than his sleeve, the lack of a last name patch on his chest, the patch itself being overly sparkly and ugly. Yeah I’m very detail picky is well 😂
I'd love to build an amp, speaker and subwoofer in the pack so it could make that classic proton pack sound and anyone within a few feet would feel it.
Adam should do dark helmet from space balls
I think this will be the project once Ive completed my ESB Boba. And he's right about the cost and parts for Boba when screen accurate 501st is the goal.
Quick- it could not come out in the theatre, it could however have come out in the cinema
The Ghostbusters elbow pads go on your elbows DERP
What is the blue light kit on the pack???? i need it for a project im working on
Adam did a second pack, apologizing for this. It wasn’t required, these are not serious things, but the fact deserves appreciation as a form of respect for those believing they are
I feel as though this ties in nicely with the rap battle dedicated to him
There are more Easter eggs in the background of an adam tested video than 7 borderlands games
I guess Adam's mic didn't get turned back on...
Yeah it's awesome.
I love how the audio went from great to potato between the cuts.
He needed the actual prop masters (or armorers) from Ghostbusters Afterlife to assist him in constructing a proper pack. The only reason Ghostbusters fans made fun of Adam about this costume is because he has decades of experience in special effects and prop fabrication, so more was expected of him. Building a proton pack is not as easy as it looks.
This video is sad, one of the greatest movies ever made and you don't know the name of the part or the jumpsuit is not even close?

Proton Pack or as Murry referred to it in the first movie - a Positron Collider
Wall E, Chewbacca, Admiral Ackbar, that spider head is from The Thing, that hand symbol on the door is the Hellboy logo, and the Nebuchadnezzar sign above it is from The Matrix.
I want Rasputins "power glove" thinger back there.
I want to make a 'Real Ghostbusters' pack so bad.
i had the trap as a kid i remmeber playing with it : )
Rest in Peace, Egon...=(
I'm sure since 2014 Adam has learned a lot from his mistakes in this build (especially wearing the elbow pads on his knees ;-) ). So now that it's 2020, and there's a new movie coming out in July, I would love to see Adam build himself a new proton pack from scratch.
