30 years ago, Ghostbusters became an instant classic. Watch the vintage premiere footage from 1984 to find out if the stars believe in ghosts!
Who ya gonna call? Thirty years ago on June 8, 1984, Ghostbusters opened in theaters nationwide and became an instant classic. In celebration, we've got vintage red-carpet footage from when ET was front and center at the film's opening day premiere in Hollywood, with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Rick Moranis in attendance. Watch the fun reactions as we ask the stars -- including Sylvester Stallone and Richard Pryor -- if they believe in ghosts!
"What an exciting night in show business this is," proclaimed Murray, clearly being facetious for the camera.

They ain't 'fraid of no ghosts!
