Scary Stories for Kids: I Made My Dad Take Me to See Ghostbusters Three Times
Rude, gross, and surprisingly adult, this classic '80s comedy was hugely popular with children. The story begins with an unusual and funny premise: "Three parapsychologists lose their university funding."
The film follows three unlikely professors. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) is more interested in flirting than serious research. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) is enthusiastic and energetic, while Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) is a nerd who enjoys collecting spores, molds, and fungus.
“Three parapsychologists lose their university funding”
After they claim to have seen a real ghost at the New York Public Library, their credibility is dismissed, and they are expelled from the university. Undeterred, they start a paranormal investigation business called "Ghostbusters" in an old firehouse in New York.
The team grows with the addition of Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), a practical and grounded man. Together, they create high-tech, nuclear-powered ghost-catching equipment.
“To believe you”
The Ghostbusters promise to investigate spooky encounters and, above all, to “believe you.”
Summary: Ghostbusters blends humor and supernatural thrills with memorable characters and inventive ghost-catching gear, making it a beloved '80s classic cherished by kids and adults alike.
