In June 7 1984, was released one classic movie of the 80’s, ‘Ghostbusters’. The movie is about three parapsychologists forced out of their university funding set up shop as a unique ghost removal service in New York City, attracting frightened yet skeptical customers.
Stars: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver
Director: Ivan Reitman
To celebrate the 40th anniversary, here are some of the curiosities about this movie.
- In the middle of the film’s initial release, to keep interest going, Ivan Reitman ran a trailer that was basically the commercial the Ghostbusters used in the movie, but the 555 number was replaced with a 1-800 number, allowing people to actually call in. Callers got a recorded message of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying something to the effect of “Hi. We’re out catching ghosts right now.” They got 1,000 calls per hour, 24 hours a day, for several weeks.
