Saturday night is Halloween, so we know what you are doing that night — painting the town blood red in your costume. But what about Friday night? How about a little Halloween pre-drinking party? And what better way to kick off the Halloween festivities than with the Ghostbusters Drinking Game? That’s right — we’ve invented a Ghostbusters Drinking Game. The goal: to get so “busted” you start calling yourself “Vinz Clortho, The Keymaster.” Here are the rules.
Ghostbusters Drinking Game Rules:
1. Take a drink whenever Bill Murray says something ridiculous. Guys drink double. (Examples: “Aim for the flattop!” and “…Dogs and cats living together…”)
2. Take a drink whenever Dan Aykroyd has a dumb look on his face. Whoever is the last person to take a drink has to take two drinks. That’s what you get for sitting there with that same dumb look on your face.
3. Take a drink whenever Harold Ramis has one of his geeky rambling sessions.
4. Whenever Ernie Hudson says token “black” dialogue, say “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts” and take a drink.
5. Take a drink whenever Sigourney Weaver rolls her eyes at Bill Murray. Girls drink double.
6. Whenever Rick Moranis yells, repeat what he yells and take a drink.
7. Chug a heaping gulp whenever Slimer appears. The hotel hallways and ballroom count as two separate appearances. If you really want to go all out, make slime (Google “how to make slime”) and slime whoever has the weakest chug.
8. Whenever the phrase “cross the streams” is uttered, cross arms with another player and wrap your drink around, bringing it back and taking a big gulp.
9. The first time the phrase “who ya gonna call?” is heard, the movie must be paused and every player must drunk dial somebody and ask if it’s the Ghostbusters.
10. Whenever the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man appears, all players must chug their entire drink. (Hint: He appears not once, but twice. Think groceries.)
Bonus: Ghostbusters Trivia Challenge. At any time, any player can pause the movie and ask any other player a trivia question. If the players guesses wrong, they drink. If they guess right, the player who asked the question drinks. These drinks are five-count gulps.
Suggested Drinks:
Slimer Margarita – Put one-and-a-half parts tequila, a half part triple sec, one part lime juice, one part Midori liquor. Can either be blended with ice or served on the rocks. Salt is optional.
Slimer Beer - A good light beer and blue food coloring (yellow beer + blue food coloring = green).
Slimer Bomb – One short glass of red bull and Midori mixed, one shot of Jagermeister. Drop the shot in the glass and chug. This is a great shot for each Slimer appearance.
Fantome Black Ghost Beer – A dark belgian beer that scores 93% on ratebeer.com. Hard to find, but if you’re a native New Yorker it shouldn’t be too hard to locate. Coincidence? I think not.
Sigourney Screamer – Cranberry juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine and Bacardi 151 rum. Mix to taste.
Gozer Worshipper – One part raspberry vodka, one part orange rum, one part Chambord raspberry liqueur, one part orange juice. Meant to look like the sky when Gozer the Gozerian and the rest of the other-worldy spirits, ghouls and ghosts threaten the Big Apple.
