Here's Your Chance To Sleep In The Ghostbusters Headquarters This Halloween
If there's something strange in your neighborhood, where are you going to stay? Preferably in a place that's equipped with all the gear you need to keep spooks, specters, and ghosts at bay. Sony and vacation rental company Vacasa have joined forces to create a Ghostbusters getaway in Portland, that's modeled after the iconic firehouse headquarters of the paranormal exterminators from the 1984 film.
Fortunately, there's no serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring isn't substandard, it's not completely inadequate for power needs, and the neighborhood doesn't resemble a demilitarized zone.
The three-story replica will be open to a lucky group of friends for three nights, and includes all the amenities that you'd expect from a crib modeled on the building that was shared by Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Will Zeddemore, and Peter Venkman. Proton packs, PKE meters, and complimentary Ghostbuster flightsuits are all included, an Ecto-1 is parked in the bay area, and there's even an Ecto-Containment Unit to deposit a few phantasms into. Remember: if the light is green, the trap is clean.
«We're dedicated to the details, and this Ghostbusters Firehouse in Portland is no exception,» Vacasa chief marketing officer Allison Lowrie said to CNN. «Every room brings a new discovery, from an interactive Ghost Containment Unit to symmetrical book stacking and walls upon walls of scientific, ghost-hunting equipment. It's designed to be enjoyed by Ghostbusters superfans and travelers with a sense of '80s nostalgia alike.»
If you can't make it to Portland, the good news is that a Matterport 360 virtual tour of the building can be viewed right now.
