If you've decided to be a 'Ghostbuster' for Halloween, but your looking for a finishing touch for your costume, this ghost hunter 'proton gun' might just be for you.
This DIY kit from ThrowingChicken lets you assemble your very own 'Proton Gun' prop -- featured in both the original 'Ghostbusters' movie and its sequel. The easy-to-assemble kit comes with everything you need to recreate the iconic tool used to incapacitate unruly specters terrorizing New York City. The gun faithfully recreates the look of the original movie props, and can even light up for a realistic and fun effect.
