The Pizza Ghost is a tentacled ghost made out of pizza.
History[]
The Pizza Ghost exclusively appears in the second introduction sequence of The Real Ghostbusters, where it scares Luigi until Chilly Cooper and Slimer rescue him. The Ghostbusters later trap the ghost, along with the other entities in the sequence.
Description[]
The Pizza Ghost is about the height of a person. It is a blob-like entity with tentacles and loosely resembles a pizza with pepperoni and mushroom toppings. It has pepperonis as its two eyes and a mushroom for a nose.
Trivia[]
- During the production of Ghostbusters, an unused concept by Thom Enriquez for the montage of ghosts escaping the Containment Unit was a "pizza ghost". Unlike the one featured in the Real Ghostbusters, this version of a demonic pizza deliveryman with cheesy flesh dripping from its face.[1]
- On the subscription cover of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #15, the Pizza Ghost makes a non-canon cameo.
- On page four of Ghostbusters International #5, in panel 2, the Pizza Ghost makes a non-canon cameo on the Pizzalicious box.
- On page 18 of Ghostbusters International #7, the Pizza Ghost makes a non-canon cameo on the snack box again.
- On page 4 of Ghostbusters International #8, once again the snack box references the Pizza Ghost.
