"We got one!" It may be hard to believe, but it's already been 30 years since Janine Melnitz signaled the beginning of Peter and the gang's first paranormal case in Ghostbusters. To commemorate the iconic film's 30th birthday, a re-release of 1984's Ghostbusters has been announced for late this summer, and that's only the beginning of the celebration.
EW reports that more than 700 theaters will screen a restored and remastered Ghostbusters on August 29th. In addition to the re-release, the party will continue with a Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release on September 16th. If you're wondering where the love is for the film's 1989 supernatural sequel, don't despair: Ghostbusters II is coming to Blu-ray for the first time via a 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray, also set for a September 16th release. The sequel's Blu-ray will come with special features that include deleted scenes and new discussions on the film from Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd.
Here's a look at the Blu-ray packaging via EW:
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
