Always thinking about his Weird Freaky Aura in the novelization

Okay so…I got the novelization of GB 1 & 2. I have no regrets, and here is why. This…this is how the book describes Egon. What kind of scientist/nerdy young teen he was. Please, if you’re on the fence about buying the novel, let this be the sign that it is totally worth it.

forever thinking about this I love Dr. Peter Venkman with my soul

Just reading the novelization of Ghostbusters, and for one beautiful moment we get a look into the mind of Vinz Clortho. Particularly, the moment when Louis Tully throws a coat on him.

It is nearsighted, decided the guardian, shaking off the coats. It is ugly, too, but I have my duty.

I love the Ghostbusters reaction to the library ghost in the movie... but this novelization? Peak comedy. 

Peter and Egon running into each other? Hilarious. Ray running into a book shelf and then landing on Peter and Egon? Comedy gold.

She sniffed. "I'm afraid you're going to die."

Spengler blinked at her. "Die in what sense?"

"In the physical sense."

The body wasn't very important when you compared it to the mind, and Egon Spengler had a very large, though somewhat disordered mind. But Venkman had been teaching him about girls and he did vaguely understand Janine's need. She was afraid. Comfort her.

"I don't care," he said at last. "I see us as tiny parts of a vast organism, like two bacteria living on a rotting speck of dust, floating in an infinite void."

Janine sighed. "That's so romantic."

He put his hands awkwardly on her back. "You have nice clavicles," he stuttered.
