Remember when a good Halloween display was just comprised a few tombstones in your yard and maybe a scary plastic monster of some kind? Well, that is so last century. These days, homeowners do things like make elaborate light displaysOpens in a new tab for spooky season, or have giant skeletonOpens in a new tabs on the lawn, or a huge inflatable Michael MyersOpens in a new tab. And now, actual drone shows too, many of which are theme park worthy. Thanks to the folks at Laughing SquidOpens in a new tab, we’ve once again encountered the amazing work of Tom BetGeorgeOpens in a new tab, whose Halloween drone show this year drew inspiration from season 4 of Stranger ThingsOpens in a new tab.
And yes, that means Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” is our show’s soundtrack. (This one’s for you EddieOpens in a new tab!) After the Hawkins portion of the show, the second half is a classic Ghostbusters tribute. You can watch the full video down below:
Not only do we get a DemogorgonOpens in a new tab, just like the one poor Hopper and his Russian buddies had to battle, but we also see a giant Mindflayer hovering above the house. Next, there’s the giant grandfather clock from Vecna’s childhood home, which later exists inside the Upside Down. And then we get what looks like Max Mayfield, hovering in the skyOpens in a new tab as Vecna infects her mind. It’s all mind-blowingly well done.
For the Ghostbusters portion of the show, as Ray Parker Jr.’s iconic theme song plays we see the iconic Ghostbusters logo hover above the house. Next, Slimer himself arrives, sucked into one of Egon Spengler’s proton packs. But the coolest thing in this show is the Stay Puft Marshmallow ManOpens in a new tab. You can’t do a Ghostbusters tribute without him in some form, right? Last year, this same creator did a Halloween show centered on The Matrix.Opens in a new tab But we think this Stranger Things and Ghostbusters Halloween double whammy easily outdoes that one. We can’t wait to see what they come up with next year .
