It’s been a long time since we’ve fired up the Ecto-1 and presented screenings of Ivan Reitman’s original Ghostbusters, so we figure what better time than Halloween week!?
After losing their academic posts at a prestigious university, a team of parapsychologists (played by the legendary team of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson) goes into business as proton-pack-toting “ghostbusters” who exterminate ghouls, hobgoblins and supernatural pests of all stripes. An ad campaign pays off when a knockout cellist hires the squad to purge her swanky digs of demons that appear to be living in her refrigerator.
Ghostbusters wasn’t just a hit movie–it’s a cultural juggernaut. The mix of sharp comedy, supernatural thrills, and groundbreaking special effects struck a chord with audiences, making it one of the defining blockbusters of the 1980s.
