Heard the Ghostbusters song recently. It put a bee in my bonnet to see the movie again. I don't think I'd seen it in 30 years and Dale said he'd never seen it before, at least not all the way through. We found it online and dove into a bunch of 80s nostalgia.
I remember seeing it with my dear friend Heidi shortly after it was released in 1984. We both loved it. The whole thing went on to be quite a phenomenon with a couple animated series and a sequel in its wake.
Dale and I were not surprised but still got a kick out of how much younger all the actors looked (of course 34 years WILL make a difference). The biggest nod to 80s fashion was the costume of the character Gozer who looked just like a 1984 version of Sheena Easton only with red eyes.
What with having seen Beetlejuice recently it looks like this Halloween season is shaping up to be one of spooky 80s movie nostalgia.
What's next? Gremlins? Maybe, although that one pairs nicely with Christmas too.
Note: Dale still hasn't seen the movie all the way through due to his propensity to fall asleep while watching TV.
