Richard Mueller

Richard Mueller is an American writer born in 1946 in New Jersey, best known for Ghostbusters: The Supernatural Spectacular (1985), his tie-in novelization of the hit supernatural-comedy film, released as a longer, more detailed companion to the shorter junior novelization by Larry Milne. Mueller's career combined television writing with media tie-in fiction typical of major studio franchises in the 1980s, and his bibliography also includes contributions to the Time Machine series of choice-driven adventure books for young readers. His novelization work is frequently cited in retrospectives on the Ghostbusters franchise's print history alongside the film's other adaptations. Detailed public biographical information beyond his novelization credits and screenwriting background is limited, and no substantial independent profile of his career appears to be publicly available.
