Description
by Richard Mueller (Tor Books, 1985 – First Edition)
The legendary official novelization of the first Ghostbusters movie (1984).
A novel that expands the story of the cult movie with additional scenes, character details, family backstories (especially Ray’s), and several moments that differ from the final theatrical version. Published in 1985 as a mass market paperback, it is one of the most classic and sought-after pieces of memorabilia for hardcore Ghostbusters collectors. Iconic cover featuring the movie logo and the four protagonists. Condition: Near Mint / Mint – Bright cover, clean pages, no obvious signs of wear. A practically perfect specimen for a book over 40 years old.

Value for Ghostbusters fans
For a serious Ghostbusters collector, this book holds high value, both sentimental and collectible:
- It is the “true” 1985 novelization (not to be confused with the one by Larry Milne). It contains exclusive content not found in the film: deleted scenes (such as the Fort Detmerring sequence), character insights, Ray Stantz’s family, details on Zuul and Gozer, and a slightly darker tone in some passages.
- It represents a piece of franchise history: released just months after the film, it is considered one of the most “old school” and authentic pieces of memorabilia from the ’80s.
- Rarity: first printings from 1985 in excellent condition have become difficult to find. Most copies in circulation are in mediocre condition (Good/Very Good).
