GHOSTBUSTERS: The Complete History of the Franchise
The 1984 comedy horror film Ghostbusters faced initial criticism but quickly became a beloved franchise, spawning sequels, cartoons, and a dedicated fan base. Originating from Dan Aykroyd’s fascination with ghosts and quantum physics, the series expanded with Ghostbusters 2, despite production challenges. A mixed reception for the 2016 reboot led to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, reigniting interest with nostalgia and new storytelling, followed by Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which continues the saga with familiar and new characters. The franchise’s evolution shows how audience perceptions can shift, blending science and the supernatural, with upcoming projects promising to keep the ghostbusting spirit alive.
