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.

I luckily won again for this year's (9/28/24), but unfortunately couldn't stay the whole time due to unexpected weather.

Advocating more awareness and celebrity support, I recap my full concert review for 2024's recent festival.
