Synopsis
Are ghosts and ghouls raising hell in your garden or garage? We know who you're gonna call!

Oscar winner Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis star as ghost exterminators in the most cynical city on Earth in one of the most original comedies ever made and the most expensive one to date. The special effects aren't bad either, especially when the Babylonian demon dude channels itself through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver (Alien) and hapless nerd Rick Moranis (Little Shop of Horrors).

Oscar nominated for Visual Effects and Original Song for Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters.

TRIVIA:
Dana's apartment building actually exists at 55 Central Park West in New York City, but was made to look bigger for the film; on the set, Dan Aykroyd referred to the "Slimer" ghost as the ghost of John Belushi, who was originally intended for the role of Venkman; when Alice the librarian is queried as to whether anyone in her family had ever had any history of mental illness, she replies she had an uncle who thought he was St. Jerome. Jerome is the patron saint of librarians.
