Every Ghostbuster playset & playhouse needs its own ghost catching storage facility. In his video we share the fabrication of the wood and metal welded custom containment unit inspired by the Ghostbusters firehouse interior from the movie and Real Ghostbusters cartoon. I fabricate many of the parts I needed out of TV mounts and miscellaneous junk lying around the house. We only had to purchase a few items like sheets of plywood, arcade buttons, and a ribbon This video is part six of our Ghostbusters Playhouse build series. We are drawing inspiration for the design of this extreme DIY playhouse off the Ghostbusters filming locations. The exterior of the Firehouse building in New York, Hook & Ladder Company 8 and the interior of the Fire Station No. 23 in Los Angeles. The fire stations have been a filming location for several other shows and movies but as the home base for the Ghostbusters what better fire station could you model from for a kids playhouse. We also got a few ideas from looking over our sons Ghostbusters firehouse Playmobil set and the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters images online, wish we had that! Other inspirations for ideas came from the Ghostbusters video game and The Real Ghostbusters animated TV series cartoon. We will be posting a series of videos of all the construction update videos and details of how we make this playhouse. We are incorporating two cedar wood playsets with the slides, climbing wall, swings, monkey bars, rope, fireman's pole, and any other playground equipment we can find a great deal on. The plan is to incorporate some other items from the Ghostbusters movies like a ghost, electrical shut off switches, wooden lockers, wood railing, slimer with slime splats, the stay puft marshmallow man, and much more. I know we always have grand plans but we will see how many of these we can accomplish.

[@josephsartor4864]

Can anyone acknowledge how adorable this kid is? He memories Ray's lines when loading the containment system.

[@zachlessarad]

He’s not

[@zachlessarad]

Harrison is to young for ghostbusters

[@zachlessarad]

Make him watch the cartoon not the movies

[@robindewelles4271]

Great job. Harrison gave 👻a terrific demo.

[@LostDamnedSoul]

Seeing this makes me happy.

[@leolevy3126]

Parents of the decade !!!!!!!!!!!

[@brycen3093]

You guys are the COOLEST parents EVER!!!!!!

Thanks Bryce appreciate it 😃👍

[@UnhingedProductions1]

Guys...... It is turning out AMAZING!! Love it

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks man we are having fun with it. Hope you are doing well have you been working on any props lately?

[@PetaHatingChris42]

I loved seeing him quote Ray at the beginning! Awesome job! The unit looks incredible!

[@tcfenwicksart]

Wow! Didn't expect so much detail on the containment unit but then again it's you guy's doing what you do best. Fantastic job. I've loved watching this build. Can't wait to see more.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hahaha ya I may have spent a little more time on it than originally planned. I admit we are a little nuts. 😉 Thanks 👍

[@Marine-oj6mx]

Fantastic! Just plain fantastic!

[@mrbeardmcr6645]

man this kid is one luckily dude , this is one epic build keep up the good work

[@jewdd1989]

It’s impressive! I hope you never tear down this playhouse! Very neat, I can’t imagine half of the electrical components but the building I get so it’s fun watching you as you go along! Attention to detail is all over this playhouse. Amazing

[@ryangoyette3570]

Unbelievable! I think you guys have outdone yourselves. I feel like the attention to detail, and the depth you’re going into has to rival, the real set production from the movie. Wow

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Ryan you know I feel that way about most of these props I see that movie fans make. I can tell you many times the fans do have way more attention to detail than the original prop maker. They often times busted something out with whatever and made stuff work off camera and through editing and now people try and replicate these things and really make them work. It's amazing and so much fun. Thanks again man I appreciate it. 👍

[@scottrousseau496]

Please sir. Please show us your magic! Brilliant!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Scott 😉

[@Mepholar]

Thanks Mario 😉👍

[@ghostengineer]

This is awesome. I know it’s much smaller but looks very similar to the containment unit in the real ghostbusters cartoon. Great stuff

[@scottmcgeorge7182]

Wow!!!!! Chris/Jeana, I live in indiana and in the children's museums, I don't even think there is anything interactive that compares for the kids to play with. To say it looks incredible is an understatement. Love it. Keep it up.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks that's awesome Scott, you know I have seen more and more impressive interactive kid lands and museums pop up. They are starting to really step them up to where I want to play. Thanks again!

[@conover1978]

[@la4sho23]

Simply amazing! Goosebumps!!

[@puff_x]

looking great Chris! It's so awesome to see your process and all your hard work.

[@Dargonhuman]

Harrison's over there living the childhood I wish I had... When I was his age, I had to attach a fallen tree branch to my school backpack with yarn to pretend it was a proton pack and pretend a battered old lunchbox my mom got at a yardsale was a ghost trap. Granted, I don't necessarily regret having to use my imagination like that, as developing those imaginative skills have helped me immensely in my adult life, but I would have killed for movie-accurate play props like this too. EDIT: also, it's perfectly fine that this isn't a 100% 1:1 replica and that you made some changes/mistakes when building it. One of the key aspects from the movies in terms of design aesthetics was that the prop builders wanted the equipment to feel like Egon and Ray cobbled their equipment together from whatever they had on hand or could find at junk shops, flea markets and thrift stores on the cheap, so by "making do" with what you have or could find is completely keeping in that spirit (pun so much intended) of guerilla garage building.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks man, Our son is alot like that aswell content with just playing with an empty cardboard box using just his imagination. A huge parent bonus for me is reliving those days you described with him and getting to add some special touches. Its a blast! 😃👊👍

[@momofbrenden]

I LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS

[@gavinjtube]

The haunted house facade you guys built a few years ago has always been my favorite project of yours.....until I saw this containment unit. What an incredible feat of engineering. Awesome build!!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Gavin we appreciate that and thanks for hanging with us over the years.

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

It's looking so awesome!!!!! I know already what Harrison's b-day part theme is gonna be... Who you're gonna call???!!!! Hollywood Hunter!!!!!

[@pauldinehart9059]

Chris You're building skills are just so mad taking construction material plus household items and creating something just so unique very nice to see that you have five fingers on each hand unless you have a 3D copy for one of your fingers

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hahaha thanks Paul, yep still got all of them thank goodness ☺️👐

[@darkdimensionshauntedhouse]

I know I shouldn't be surprised by Hollywood Haunters, but this is amazing, looks like a very huge piece of steel

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Dark Dimensions it feels like a huge piece of steel to our backs when we move it around. Should have carved it out of foam. 🤣

[@TheWeirdKidShow]

This has been a really fun build. Great job!

[@asmarteru]

Loving all the details you add. I think you both will be playing as much as Harrison.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

So far we think dad has played in it the most but the plan was to do it all together once its finished. 🤣

[@danblake8295]

This is amazing, you have such a talent for fabrication of props. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Dan I enjoy making stuff and figuring out what may work and seeing it take shape. Its weird though how after a certain amount of time tinkering I lose interest and want to move to the next thing before it's completely finished.

[@thedarkknight803able]

That is Awesome!💥😎👍🏿

[@karenduffy8103]

Man, you guys are the coolest parents. Harrison is one lucky kid. Chris damn dude, awesome build.

OMG!!! This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! Harisson is great!🎃👍

[@hiredhand9394]

Fantastic work! Very impressive.

[@chriscmb]

I love the idea of mashing up the movie with the cartoon containment units. By far this is the best containment unit I have ever seen. Awesome job.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you very much Christian. There were so many great examples out there of the original prop that others have done incorporating the RGB one really made it fun for me to make. Still have to put some finishing touches on it like the white square on the door and others said I should try and make the gauge move, add sound etc. I guess a person could keep messing with it forever. Hahaha so much other things to work on. thanks again

[@zackgb]

that thing is beautiful! Amazing work!

[@TheRealOzMuerte]

Been building an ECU myself on&off for a couple years now. This actually gives me the inspiration to finish the thing! I love that you didnt stick entirely to "100% movie accuracy", I always find that boring and stressful. In fact, I'd say I think I prefer it this way, as a sort of mashup between the movie & the animated series. Love this build!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

That's awesome Oz I hope you can get your finished soon. My hats off to those who strive for the 100% its rewarding to be sure but harder to do. I have a tuff enough time finishing everything I start so its good for me to not try to do that. I'm still going to add a couple things to it but I have a firehouse to finish. Thanks for the feedback 😃👍

[@ThePreachie]

YES!!!

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]
