When ghosts go on a rampage, only three men can save the world.

Fired from university research jobs, Drs. Venkman (Murray), Stantz (Aykroyd), and Spengler (Ramis) set up shop as “Ghostbusters,” ridding Manhattan of bizarre apparitions. But even the spirit exterminators are severely tested when beautiful Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) and her nerdy neighbor (Rick Moranis) become possessed by demons living in their building. Soon every spook in the city is loose, and our heroes face their supreme challenge at a roof-top demonic shrine. If you want your spirits raised, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

VHS Description
If you're male or female or of any particular ethnic, sexual, religious, or national persuasion, this movie may offend you. Or perhaps this movie may make you laugh more than any other recent comedy.
Fame. Authority. Show tunes. The military. Race. Sex. Religion. The way to a woman's heart. The creators of TV's South Park skewer all in a feature-length story that plunges an outraged U.S. into war with Canada after South Park's schoolkids sneak into a restricted Canadian-mad film and emerge, their fragile little minds warped, spouting expletives that would make a sex-shop proprietor blush. What? Is your mind already warped? Well, friend, it looks like this movie is perfect for you.
