Ghostbusters (1984)

Unemployed parapsychology professors turn ghost removal into a business.

Ghostbusters gives the haunted-house story a workday rhythm: somebody has to answer the call, bring the equipment, and deal with the mess. Its 1984 movie record is part of HMOT’s recovered A–Z collection.

Set it beside Beetlejuice for two very different ghost comedies. One treats the supernatural as a service problem; the other begins with ghosts who have a people problem.
