If there's something strange, in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?

Of course Ghostbusters is hilarious. With Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis how could it not be? But what truly makes this film a classic is the fact that it's also freaking scary. As a kid, I grew up with a version my grandpa made from VCR to VCR with all the scary bits were cut out. And even with those bits cut out it still kind of terrified me. I knew what was happening when the tape went all wobbly and suddenly I was in a new scene. Maybe it was even MORE scary because my mind had to fill it in. It makes me smile that this film was able to spawn a children's cartoon and a Hi-C flavor. Oh the good old days.
