Can somebody explain this?

[–] ClaireDeLunee@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The van is the Mystery Machine, the vehicle used by the group from Scooby Doo, who hunt down ghosts and ghouls in each episode.

The car behind that is the car from Ghostbusters. A movie about a group of people who hunt ghosts and capture them with special tools.

If you didn't know either that's fine but I would highly recommend Ghostbusters, it's a fun movie.

Scooby Doo is great but imo nostalgia is the strongest part of it (The live action movies however are weirdly good so I do recommend those)

Hope that helps :)

running the live action films on repeat right now (audio only for background noise, like one would use a radio for--dont need the vusuals anyway after countless rewatches).

Why those two in particular? And why on repeat instead of queueing several different ones? If you don't mind me being nosy for absolutely no good reason.

The car on the left is used in the film series Ghostbusters, in which a group of men (and women) serve as a private contract company that captures ghosts and deals with paranormal activity. The car on the right is the "Mystery Machine" from the cartoon series Scooby-Doo, which involves a group of teenagers who go around solving mysteries.

The implication of the two cars together means that things must be really bad if the Ghostbusters and the Mystery Machine need to be called in together.

Hope this helps!

Ghost busters car and scooby doo van are getting gas at a gas station.

I would guess it was during some kind of car show. This article from 2015 appears to be related https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/boston/news/ghostbusters-vehicles-spotted-at-boston-gas-station/

Doesn’t have much information though. Theirs a couple Reddit posts from around 2017

I knew this was going to be MA. I know exactly who owns that Ghostbusters car lol. Not sure about the Scooby Doo though
