The hunt for ghosts

Ghostbusters is a fantasy comedy set in a world haunted by spirits. These ghosts can be simple nuisances of varying degrees of fun, but others are more dangerous. Worse still, as the Ghostbusters team begin their work, they discover that an evil entity called Zuul plans to open a passageway between dimensions to let Gozer, a destructive monster, wipe out the world.
