Can the Ghostbusters take down Skeletor? In my five year old mind, yes they could.


Of course they could! Skeletor is a skeleton. A skeleton is undead. Ghosts are undead... it could happen!!!!


The Ghostbusters took down Cthulhu. If they can handle an elder god, Skeletor doesn't stand much of a chance.

That was just "Cathulu" a Chinese bootleg.

J. Michael Straczynski had a funny story about why they had to change the spelling but I can't remember the specifics.

I tried to watch the Holiday Special. It was really, really boring. I couldn't finish it.
