SUMMARY:GHOSTBUSTERS! Interactive Screening of a Classic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of one of the best films from one of the best years in American Cinema\, 1984’s Ghostbusters. That’s saying a lot since Gremlins\, The Karate Kid\, Beverly Hills Cop\, Temple of Doom\, Terminator\, Purple Rain\, Spinal Tap\, Repo Man\, Romancing The Stone\, A Nightmare on Elm Street\, Sixteen Candles and a ton more all came out in 1984.\nWhat the heck do we mean by an “interactive screening?” – Each visitor or group will get their own noisemaker (like a kazoo for example) attached to a notecard with instructions for when to use said noisemaker (every time a character says “gatekeeper” for example).  If you’ve seen it 100 times come flex your Ghostbusters viewing muscles by being right on cue\, if you’ve never seen Ghostbusters – first of all what’s wrong with you? jk – we can’t think of a better first time to see it than this\, and if you’re like most people and have seen it but it’s been awhile come watch it with fresh eyes…and a buzzer. \nINSTRUCTIONS AND PARTICIPATORY MATERIALS AT 6:00\, FILM BEGINS AT DUSK.
