Spooktober: The Ghost Busters meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1975)

 Robert Louis Stevenson always meant to have Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde as two distinct personalities sharing the same body. Ghost Busters creator/head writer/associate producer Marc Richards felt the need to turn this novel on its side by having Hyde (Joe E. Ross, fresh from Hong Kong Phooey) co-exist with Jekyll (Severn Darden) by having the two appear simultaneously.


Anyone that ever read Stevenson's tale knew better. Ross dug up his caveman gear from It's About Time, almost a decade earlier, which also was the wrong look for Hyde. Ugh.

Rating: C-.
