Adam Savage Examines The Original GHOSTBUSTERS Ghost Trap Prop and How it Works

In a recent video of Tested, Adam Savage visits the Prop Store where he is given the opportunity to check out and examine the ghost trap for the original Ghostbusters movie. The description reads: “Adam encounters one of the actual ghost trap props used on screen for Ghostbusters I and II, and this is a special one. Connected to the original transmitter controller used on set, this ghost trap is packed full of practical effects that not only let it open and close, but activate all the flashing and blinking lights that we saw in the films.”Adam takes a look inside this iconic prop to see how the effects technicians made it work over 40 years ago. It’s pretty cool to get to see him play around with this thing and point out all the cool little details.
