115p GHOSTBUSTERS (1984, dir by Ivan Reitman, w/ Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Columbia, 105mns, USA)

The early 1980’s well. . .they were just a different time. Exhibit 1 - 1984’s Ghostbusters co-written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis is somehow both a beloved family spooky movie and an amazing National Lampoon, SCTV, and Saturday Night Live alum comedy - one of the best actually.

Rated PG yet filled with tons of ad-libbed and improved adult humour, Ghostbusters is also somehow a crowning special effects 1980’s extravaganza full of model work, a Stay Puft Marshmellow Man kaiju sequence, loads of ghost effects. And a killer soundtrack.

When parapsychology professors Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stanz (Ackroyd) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) get fired from their jobs for their wacky ideas about ghosts, they decide to set up shop as actual New York “Ghostbusters” a kind of ghost, ghoul, and poltergeist extermination/containment company.

When they actually have success catching and trapping some ghosts, they get the attention of cellist Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) worried her old apartment building might be haunted and officious city official Walter Peck (a great William Atherton) who wants to shut them down.

One of the great 1980’s pop culture sensations, Ghostbusters meets the movie audience at the cross roads of fun scares, hilarious humour, and incredible special effects. Bring the family and marvel at the movie on the big screen.

SPECIAL NOTE: We’ll follow the movie with a Daytime Halloween Festival — a full hour of Halloween fun after the film. Kids' Halloween costume parade. Family photo booth. Food trucks + a downstairs food court. An ice cream truck. Friendly, spooky characters roaming the theater for photo ops. Costumes encouraged — all ages welcome. All in one of the most beautiful, atmospheric movie theaters in all of Los Angeles!

Full bar, food trucks, and the food court open all night — pay as you go, so bring a card.
