Movie: Ghostbusters

Join us for Ghostbusters, the first of three Saturday morning Scary but Funny movies!

1984; Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, and Rick Moranis; Rated PG; 107 minutes

Suit up for classic comedy! When ghosts go on a rampage, only three men

can save the world. Soon every spook in the New York City is loose and

our heroes face the supreme challenge. If you want your spirits

raised, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
