Plot
Drs. Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler make up the parapsychology research team for a university in Manhattan - until their funding is cut. Reports of a ghost in the library prompt them to set up shop as 'Ghostbusters'. Their first customer is a beautiful cellist, Dana Barrett, whose flat has been subject to some bizarre happenings. Soon, they are in continuous demand, ridding the city of numerous ghosts and ghouls - so much so that they take on extra staff, and Louis Tully becomes the fourth Ghostbuster. As the local beaurocracy - in the person of Walter Peck - attempts to clamp down on their operations, Dana and her nerdy neighbour are possessed by ancient demons, and the Ghostbusters face their greatest challenge yet.
