Happy 40th to Ghostbusters' movie franchise! When releasing the first movie back in 1984, there was no telling there'd be 4 sequels, a classic movie theme song, and celebrated around Halloween! Reliving the sci-fi of all 5 movies, I tell the actual ghost-stories of the plot, first 2 films' movie songs, and how the later reboots tribute the original's formulas.
Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena
Sound effects taken from Soundscape's Pottery Barn Halloween CD (2001)
