"WE GOT ONE!"
Ever wondered why the Ghostbusters ain't afraid of no ghosts? It's not the cool jumpsuits, or the Ecto-1, or even their experience with Slimer, the green gourmand that has a juicebox named after him. No, the reason they aren't afraid of ghosts is that they have the coolest gadgets in all of the paranormal investigative world! Of course, you can thank Ray Stantz for that. He's the gadget guy on the Ghostbusters. Take the simple Ghost Trap, for instance. They would bust some ghosts with their proton pack, slip a trap underneath, open that bad boy up, and BOOM. No more ghost. They get sucked in the trap and sent off to the containment unit back at the firehouse. All in a day's work for The Ghostbusters.
Design & Details
This officially-licensed Ghostbusters trap accessory looks just like the one seen in the movie, full-sized to go with your costume gear. It's a HalloweenCostumes.com exclusive Made by Us, which means quality and accuracy you won't' find anywhere else. The trap even lights up, makes the recognizable sounds, and the top doors even open up. We think Ray would be proud.

- BittersweetBy E Campbell | January 3, 2022Husband and I got this and the Proton Pack for our die-hard Ghostbusters grandson for Christmas. We had a blast playing with it when we checked it out upon arrival.
Grandson was THRILLED!
Unfortunately it was damaged beyond repair when our son slipped on wet steps falling hard on the Proton Pack with the GB Trap inside while transporting gifts to his car. Son is bruised and disappointed that his fall badly damaged the GB trap; grandson is really sad and anxiously awaiting another one.
I will DEFINITELY be purchasing a new one as soon as they become available although I am not thrilled to see the price has greatly increased since November, 2021.
We were GREATLY IMPRESSED with the lights and sounds and how the trap opens and closes. I even handmade “ghosts” for our grandson to capture in the AWESOME trap.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Three StarsBy Colin | January 3, 2023My review is two parts. Halloween costumes are given a 5 star from ease of ordering, web site and communication. The ghost buster ghost trap didn't come with instructions, labels sloppily put on, cheap plastic. It seems all ghost traps are poorly manufactured. Buy it if no other choice.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?

- Three StarsBy Anonymous | December 18, 2022A little too breakable.
Not as well made as I expected.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Very cheaply madeBy Kaira | November 13, 2022My initial order was completely broken upon arrival, the handle totally broken off, doors detached, a small piece broken off -- not certain where it belonged. I was sent a replacement and the lights and doors didn't work on the replacement. I wasn't willing to roll the dice a 3rd time. Poorly made.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?

- One StarBy Anonymous | November 3, 2022We were so excited to receive this trap! When we did the doors didn't close completely, which was a bummer! We were sent another one that opened and closed perfectly but the Lights didn't work. Cool product but not good quality.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?

- Open and Close mechanism broke quickly.By Anonymous | October 24, 2022Great looking trap- love the lights and sound. A little bit of silver paint marker and some black will have it looking weathered and really take it up a notch.
The doors also stay closed very well so if it's on your belt, they're not clacking open and closed while you walk.
My big problem though is that the mechanism to open and close the trap (the button on the handle) is terribly designed and ended up breaking on me after maybe the 10th use. I managed to open it up and reseat the plastic mechanism, and that lets it open/close maybe once before it breaks again.Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you? - Great for cosplayBy Josh | September 28, 2022I have been buying the ghostbusters equipment this year for cosplay. This trap was one of the last pieces I need sold here. It is pretty awesome.

- Once you figure out how it works, it's awesome!By Linnea Jordyn | October 19, 2021Size StandardNo instructions were in the box on how to put in batteries and only a vague description of it being on the left hand side. I'll save you a lot of trouble as I had to look up a video on how to find the battery compartment. It's on the side that says DANGER and the compartment is a silver colored piece with a small Phillips head screw. Once you get the batteries in, turn it on and you get light and sound similar to that in the film. This one did not have a foot pedal and was not an incense burner. If you could somehow incorporate all these elements, I would pay top dollar for it. Overall, it's a good costume prop.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?
