not_hathorWell, I think I've pretty much decided on my plot/topic.....
A couple of years ago I got this wicked idea for a Real Ghostbusters/The Shadow story; I absolutely LOVED the movie with Alec Baldwin, and I read a lot of The Shadow pulp novel reprints too. Do I need to mention how much of a Ghostbuters fan-girl I am? *points at user pic*
And so, a rough plot summary might go something like this:
"During the 1920's in the city of New York, a brilliant yet twisted surgeon named Ivo Shandor decided that Society had become too Evil to continue as it was, and sought to bring about the End of the World by Summoning an ancient Mesopotamian demon/god to destroy Mankind. He and his cult of Ghozer worshipers failed, due to the efforts of a mysterious vigilante known as the Shadow. Seventy years later, the grand daughter of Lamont Cranston hires the Ghostbusters to investigate paranormal activity centering around the old Cranston mansion. Is the last of the Cranston heirs being haunted by the ghost of the Shadow? Or is there something even stranger and deadlier in the neighborhood? Who knows what evil lurks in the depths of the past, waiting to re-emerge and seek revenge? Ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
