The '80s spirit-hunting classic is to open in cinemas worldwide this Halloween as an all-new digitally-restored release.
Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver starred in the sci-fi comedy, which was directed by Ivan Reitman.
Ghostbusters grossed $290 million on its original theatrical release in 1984 and spawned a sequel in 1989. Sony Pictures has been planning to make a third movie for several years, despite resistance from Murray.
The film was nominated for two Oscars, 'Best Visual Effects' and 'Original Song' for Ray Parker Jr's iconic 'Ghostbusters' theme song.
